r e t r o s p e ct 2 015

The future is looking bright for Las VegasThis past year has seen a considerable amount of change in Las Vegas with much more on the horizon. While our highrise market didn’t have as much total sales volume this year as we saw in 2013, we did see the median sales price in the majority of the properties go up. Much of this can be attributed to the active market over the past two and a half years, which has worked through most of the distressed inventory bringing more stability to this segment of the market. Although pricing still remains well below the peak, we are much further into our recovery. Given the low number of high-rise developments and the length of time before any new construction comes forth there is likely to be an opportunity for strong price appreciation.

Some of this year’s highlights included welcoming the world’s tallest observation wheel, The High Roller, to the newly developed LINQ restaurant and retail corridor. In two stunning redevelopments, the legendary Sahara became the SLS Hotel Resort & Casino and what was once the Barbary Coast Hotel & Casino became the Cromwell Luxury Boutique Hotel & Casino. Off the Strip, the first phase of the 106-Acre Downtown Summerlin office, entertainment and retail complex opened with great fanfare.

There is a lot to be excited about 2015 and beyond, including MGM’s new development, The Park, with construction already underway to include a 20,000-seat arena and complex of bars and restaurants connecting New York-New York and Monte Carlo resorts expected to be complete in 2016. This development will definitely benefit the CityCenter properties, Mandarin Oriental, Veer Towers and Vdara. Farther down the Strip the Grand Bazaar Shops outside Bally’s will offer an outdoor mall with more than 150 stores. For four days in May Las Vegas will be home to Rock in Rio, one of the largest outdoor concert events in the world. It is a great time to be a part of Las Vegas.

The data on the following pages will provide insight into select highrise properties in the Las Vegas valley. You can always access all current listings and information at VegasVerticals.com.

Turnberry Place Newport Lofts Soho Lofts One Queensridge

ONE QUEENSRIDGE PLACE Dedicated to the most discriminating owners, One Queensridge Place serves as one of the very finest luxury residences in Las Vegas. With the majority of the remaining developer inventory having now been sold, we expect the turnover in the building to slow down as it did in 2014 and settle to a more stable number annually, but seeing price appreciation due to the limited number of units in the building.

PARK TOWERS These two towers continue to serve as one of the most distinctive and exclusive highrise addresses, home to many of the most influential Las Vegas residents.

This property doesn’t traditionally have much in the way of turnover, as evidenced by this year’s sales.

MANDARIN ORIENTAL As the most prestigious residential address on the Las Vegas Strip, The Residences at the Mandarin Oriental sets the standard for luxury highrise living. It is the residential jewel of CityCenter. There remains but a few opportunities with the initial developer inventory, so the sales volume is down from the previous year, but pricing continues to go up.

VEER TOWERS The iconic architecture and contemporary design of the Veer towers set these towers apart on the Las Vegas Strip. As a part of CityCenter, they enjoy all of the benefits of their location and MGM’s new development, The Park, along with the new arena, making their appeal that much more in the coming years. They are having record sales as they move into the last phase of the developer inventory and pricing is going up.

MGM SIGNATURE MGM Signature continues to be the predominant property of interest in the condotel market.

There

are still opportunities to make key purchases in the three towers and will likely see more interest as the new arena and restaurant complex across the street comes online in 2016.

PALMS PLACE Hip and modern is definitely the theme of Palms Place and it is getting more attention from buyers this year over last with more than twice as many sales as 2013.

With the average sales price having gone up 7% over the past year, it is definitely a hot spot for those who want to own a bit of Las Vegas.

TRUMP TOWER This classic and luxuriously appointed condotel is now coming into its own and reached a more steady sales turnover than in years prior. International buyers continue to show active interest in the property. There are still great options on developer inventory for those who are still looking for luxury at an opportunistic price in the heart of the Strip.

VDARA With direct access to Aria and the Bellagio resorts, Vdara at CityCenter is poised to be one of the most desired condotels in the Las Vegas Strip corridor.

Branded as a non-gaming, non-smoking luxury hotel, it was the first choice for visitors seeking a quiet retreat with direct access to some of the finest restaurants, entertainment, and shopping in all of Las Vegas. Demand for these units is likely to increase as Las Vegas visitor volumes continue to break records.

TURNBERRY PLACE The four towers of this prestigious enclave continue to be one of the premier residences of the Las Vegas Strip. While sales volume was down over the same time last year by almost 30%, the median price remained relatively steady. The re-development of what will be the Westgate and the SLS Hotel & Casino is improving the surrounding area benefitting this development.

TURNBERRY TOWERS The sister project to Turnberry Place overlooks the Las Vegas Country Club golf course as well as offering some amazing Strip views. Sales volume was down and there are still some developer units to be had, so value opportunities are still available. The redevelopment of the neighboring Westgate and the recent opening of the SLS Hotel & Casino is likely to benefit the property.

SKY LAS VEGAS With the opening of the new SLS Hotel & Casino this year and MGM’s new outdoor festival grounds coming online with Rock in Rio coupled with moving through all of their distressed inventory, Sky is well positioned for additional price appreciation. This year the average price was up almost 20%. Sales volume is leveling off reflecting stability.

This is still one of the most affordable highrise opportunities on the Strip and people are starting to take notice.

PANORAMA TOWERS The

world-class

architecture of CityCenter saw a slight decrease in sales relative to the same time last year. The median pricing has increased as we have reached the end of the distressed sales in the building. MGM’s new arena and development between New York – New York and Monte Carlo will certainly benefit owners of Panorama Towers due to its close proximity.

THE OGDEN Bordering the newly redeveloped Fremont East Entertainment

District,

this

development

has

been home to the majority of Zappos employees whose owner, Tony Hsieh, initially spearheaded the Project Downtown efforts. As downtown Las Vegas continues to evolve as the new epicenter for high tech businesses as well as special events and cultural activities, we anticipate interest in this highrise to increase as buyers attempt to capitalize on early pricing opportunities. Prices start in the $200’s.

When you are ready to buy or sell, put our local expertise and Sotheby’s global reach to work for you.
