If you have been waiting for resale opportunities at Trump Towers, your wait is now over. Units in tower one at the Trump International Hotel and Tower Las Vegas are now popping up. Now is your chance to be able to live in a ultra-luxury condo at the Trump Tower without having to wait.

Despite a downward market, the Trump brand helped ensure near sell out status of tower I in 2006. In April of 2007, a second tower was announced. Sales for tower II are ongoing, so if you prefer to have a unit built to your tastes you still can. Call me at 702-493-8033 for the latest available Trump condos for sale.

While the decline of the dollar hasn't been good for the US, our neighbors to the north and across the oceans have been quick to take advantage of it. The increased value of the Euro and Loonie over the last few years has spurred foreign investment in the high rise and housing market. Combined with a surplus of inventory, investors are scooping up luxury properties at bargain prices. Currently there are several completed high rise condos ready for move in, both on and off the strip.

Strip Area:

• Sky Las Vegas
• Trump Towers
• Allure
• Turnberry Place
• Turnberry Towers
• Platinum
• MGM Signature

South Strip:

• One Las Vegas
• Boca Raton
• Manhattan

Foreign investment in strip properties has been increasing as well. Israeli owned Elad Properties is in a joint venture to redevelop the site of the former New Frontier into a multi-billion dollar hotel casino resort with seven high rise towers. MGM CityCenter is in a partnership with a Dubai real estate development company.

As the dollar continues to decline, it's a safe bet that the level of foreign investment in the Las Vegas area will only increase and property prices will start to go up.

The Canadians are coming

Another new resort will be opening this spring just off of the Las Vegas strip. The Trump International Hotel & Tower Las Vegas is set to open its doors at the end of next month. Trump Tower will join sister properties in New York and Chicago as part of the newly founded Trump Hotel Collection. In typical Trump style, the property is being marketed as a new level of luxury in high end travel accommodations.

Although the street address is 3128 Las Vegas Blvd S, Las Vegas, NV 89109, the property resides further back from the strip.

Due to the success of first tower sales, there is a second tower being constructed and sales are ongoing. If you missed out on tower one, there are units still available in both towers.  Call 702-493-8033 for more information.

Trump being sued

Trump gets his name on the strip

Its not coming up all rosy for the "Don". A dispute over the Trump Towers Las Vegas leasing has evolved into a $4 Billion lawsuit filed against Donald Trump. The suite is being brought by a Las Vegas property management company accussing him of monopolizing the market in the city.

The property management company, Nights at Vegas, takes a 20 percent cut of the rental income when it leases out an condo in the tower. The management company that Trump owns takes 50 percent of the lease income (its no wonder he's got a few bucks). The dispute arises from a claim by Nights at Vegas employees that Trump has forbiddened them from using the Trump name in marketing the Trump condos, making it impossible for them to market the property at all.

The suit was brought on the grounds of unfair competiition, false promotion and violation of anti-trust laws, etc. Nights at Vegas is seeking a huge judgement against Trump, a whopping $1 billion in compensation and another $3 billion in punitive damages. No word yet on a trial date or whether it will even make it to trial.

Trump gets his name on the strip

Las Vegas Central has overcome the odds. Announced back in 2005, the project stalled when the FAA retracted its approval of the twin 47 story tower design. Because of the redesign, refunds had to be given to purchases whose condos didn't exist under the new design.

Last year the LLC was forced to file bankruptcy and was able to secure a 12 month bridge loan. The convention center has decided on a billion dollar plus remodel that will place the entrance to the convention center about 300 feet from the Central project site (the current address is 3150 Paradise Road, Las Vegas, NV 89109). Several national hotel operators have expressed interest in building a hotel on the site instead. According to the developer, its very feasible  to change the design to a hotel instead. The new plans also call for the top floors to hold luxury penthouses. With the high rise market still going strong, I'm sure they'll have no problem selling the penthouse units, especially located next to one of the largest convention centers in the world.

No official word yet on when the project will be completed or condo pricing.

With so much hype about CityCenter, its easy to overlook some of the other great projects in and around the strip. Last year, residents moved into Sky Las Vegas, currently the only residential high rise on the strip. Earlier this week, Allure received its initial certificate of occupancy for phase one. Residents were able to move in before the end of December, just in time for the New Year's Eve strip fireworks.

Allure condos

The community is planning for another tower in phase two. Allure still has units available in phase one. For a list of available condos, pricing and location within the building, email or call (702) 493-8033.

Usually you only see specials and deals right before the holidays and of course, the day after Christmas and Thanksgiving. With several builders showing a surplus of new homes, there are bargains everywhere when looking for a single family home. There are lots of places where buyers can still put very little down and purchase a home. When it comes to high rises however, they are a lot more scarce.

There are some high rise projects that are trying a little harder to entice buyers. Streamline Tower in downtown Las Vegas in zip code 89119 (entertainment district) is currently having a special. Currently, buyers will only put down a 5% deposit, making it one of the lowest deposit requirements in the market. Construction on Streamline is well under way and the tower "topped off" in June of last year. No word on the official move in date for residents, but I expect it will be towards mid year.

If you have been thinking about buying a Las Vegas high rise as a seasonal or primary residence, there hasn't been a better time to buy. Streamline is located just a few blocks from the Union Park development that will host the new Alzhiemer's center, World Jewelry Tower (with high end residential condos), World Market and the premium outlet mall, not to mention the new downtown amenities. Streamline Tower is being represented by the high rise division of Prudential Americana Group, REALTORS.

Well, its official. Visitors to the Las Vegas strip will now see "Trump" listed there.   Construction crews finished adding the Don's name to the first tower of the Trump International Hotel and Tower. The sign is a total of 140 feet long and each letter is 20 feet high! 

Of course, when they decided on a name for the project there was only going to be a single tower. Sales for Trump Tower II are already underway. According to the Trump sales team, the final touchs on the interior lobby are being made at this time as well as completion of the rest of the interior.  There is no official word on their website as to a completion date, but judging by the speed of the construction I'm guessing by next summer it will be completed and occupied.

For more information about the Trump Towers or any of the other Las Vegas high rise condos, call me at 702-493-8033. There are still units available.
