  • Las Vegas Review-Journal
    January 14, 2007 Copyright © Las Vegas Review-Journal Run of the millions Hubble Smith LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL By HUBBLE SMITH REVIEW-JOURNAL It's a buyer's market in Las Vegas — unless you're looking at luxury homes. While the median price of an existing home has flattened for the past year and may even be poised for a decline, the high-end market is soaring . James Beasley of Sotheby's International Realty just picked up a $12 million listing for a penthouse unit at Turnberry Place, the four-tower luxury condominium complex on Paradise Road. It's priced at about $2,000 a square foot, or twice the starting prices at Trump International Tower. "I don't think people grasp that for these premier high-rise units, people are willing to pay Manhattan prices," Beasley said. The luxury home market has had strong and consistent results, with prices climbing and sales steady, Beasley said in his third-quarter market report. There were 70 transactions at $1.5 million or more totaling $160 million in sales volume, up from $151.9 million the previous quarter. His brokerage recorded the highest sale of the year in September at $8.5 million. "In this last year, we have seen the market shift into a healthier and more stable market, a market that is yielding more consistent home values adjusting from the boom in prices during 2004," Beasley said. "Since the growth fundamentals have not shifted and population growth continues in Las Vegas, our company is bullish on the future outlook of our market." He sees Mountain's Edge in southwest Las Vegas Valley and Lake Las Vegas in east Henderson as key growth areas.

As you might imagine, this manual addresses the economic environment and how to turn anxiety and uncertainty about the future into opportunity. Mr. Sullivan offers 10 strategies on how to transform negative feelings into positive actions. Strategy #8 advises us to “forget about events, focus on your responses.” Our conversations with owners over the last few months have prompted numerous inquiries regarding the completion of CityCenter, construction quality, conditions of the financial markets, and your access to mortgage funding, as well as questions pertaining to CityCenter prices and market value. It is apparent to us that our changed economic climate, unrelated to CityCenter, has caused a number of you to lose some of the enthusiasm that originally propelled you to purchase at CityCenter.

    48 Context: Palm Springs between the Wars (1919-1941) O’Donnell House, Ojo del Desierto, 447 W. Alejo Road, 1925. Listed in the National Register; HSPB- 19. Source: Steve Vaught, Paradise Leased. FINAL DRAFT – FOR CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL City of Palm Springs Citywide Historic Context Statement & Survey Findings HISTORIC RESOURCES GROUP 49 CONTEXT: PALM SPRINGS BETWEEN THE WARS (1919-1941) Overview This context explores the transformation of Palm Springs from a modest spa town into a luxury winter resort in the years between the First and Second World Wars. By 1918 Nellie Coffman and her sons, George Roberson and Earl Coffman, understood the town’s potential, not as a health spa for asthmatics and consumptives, but as an exclusive winter resort for the well-to-do, and set about transforming their sanatorium into the luxurious Desert Inn, one of the most renowned hostelries in the country. Their success inspired the development of two equally spectacular hotels in the 1920s and cemented the town’s growing reputation as one of the country’s premier luxury winter resorts. These were the Oasis Hotel (121 S. Palm Canyon Drive; HSPB-10), designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, Jr. (known as Lloyd Wright) and opened in 1925 by Pearl McCallum McManus;97 and the grand Hotel El Mirador (1150 N. Indian Canyon Drive), designed by Walker and Eisen in a sumptuous Spanish Colonial Revival style and opened in 1927.98 El Mirador Hotel, photographed c. 1933. Source: Security Pacific National Bank Collection, Los Angeles Public Library. 97 The Oasis Hotel opened on a provisional basis in 1924, but the official opening was in 1925.
