LAS VEGAS, NV – Amid an uptick in overall real estate sales in Southern Nevada as of late, a large apartment complex in Las Vegas was recently sold by its developer for almost $120 million.

Elysian at Sunset, a 384-unit complex in the southwest valley, was sold by the Calida Group for $118 million, with the transaction closing in late January of this year. The buyer, according to property records, was Faring, a real estate firm located in West Hollywood, California specializing in pedestrian-oriented commercial and residential properties.

Based on the $118 million sale price for Elysian at Sunset, the price per unit equates to $307,000, which is considerably higher than average for the Las Vegas market; as per Calida co-founder Eric Cohen, the luxury apartment complex was over 90 percent occupied at the time of the sale.

Situated at 8150 Rafael Rivera Way between Buffalo and Durango drives just north along the 215 Beltway, Elysian at Sunset boasts numerous high-end amenities for tenants, including poolside cabanas, an outdoor volleyball court and a 9,000-square-foot clubhouse with arcade machines, billiards, and massage and tanning rooms.

Jason Illoulian, Faring Founder and CEO, said that his firm made purchasing Elysian at Sunset a high priority for his firm due to numerous factors, such as its prime location in a hot market, as well as the affluence of its many tenants.

Las Vegas continues to demonstrate resilient population growth and demand for quality rental housing, making this an attractive acquisition for our portfolio,” he said.

While apartment sales in Las Vegas have decreased in recent years due to high loan interest rates, the subsequent lowering of prices have recently enticed investors to dip their toes back into the city’s real estate waters, so to speak.

For example, only seven apartment complexes were sold in Vegas in 2023, whereas that number jumped to 22 in 2024; while a very distinct improvement, that is still much lower than the 45 sold in 2022, but experts note that such purchasing activity is anticipated to continue to increase going forward as investors adjust to the market.

LAS VEGAS, NV – Brownstone Apartments, a 143-unit luxury apartment community located in the Las Vegas neighborhood of Centennial Hills, has been purchased by Irvine, California-based SB Real Estate Partners (SBREP) for $42 million in an off-market transaction.

As a result of the purchase, SBREP has officially re-branded Brownstone Apartments as Portola Centennial Hills. The acquisition of the property now brings SBREP’s holdings in the Las Vegas Valley to a total of 640 apartment units.

The newly-christened Portola Centennial Hills, originally constructed in 2022, is located at 7531 Tule Springs Road, approximately 15 miles northwest of The Strip, and is situated within walking distance of numerous lifestyle amenities, including coffee shops, restaurants, Sprouts Farmers Market, and Pop Squires public park.

The complex offers deluxe luxury finishes for all of its apartment homes, with one, two, and three-bedroom layouts available; the 143 units are spread out amongst nine low-rise buildings, and amenities include a clubhouse, a resort style pool, barbecue areas, a 24-hour fitness center and tuck-under garages.

In addition, SBREP is planning on making several improvements for tenants, including offering a Smart Home tech package and minor upgrades to common areas.

SBREP Founder & Managing Principal, Srijin Bandyopadhyay, noted that the Las Vegas market has become a high-priority location for his firm’s investments, with plans to continue to acquire real estate there persisting into the near the future.

The Las Vegas metro has one of the lowest supply pipelines in the country when compared to other high-octane growth markets across the Sunbelt, with the Centennial Hills submarket having virtually no future supply over the next few years,” Bandyopadhyay said. “Given that backdrop of favorable supply/demand balance, along with other supportive multifamily fundamentals, SBREP plans to remain an active buyer in the Las Vegas [Metropolitan Statistical Area].”

LAS VEGAS, NV – Over 161,000 home sales in the Las Vegas Valley since the beginning of 2011 have consisted of all-cash transactions, according to a new historical data obtained from residential real estate brokerage and mortgage origination service Redfin.

All-cash buyers have purchased 161,084 homes in the valley over the course of the last 15 years, with Robert Little, a real estate agent with Re/Max Advantage in Henderson, noting that there are several reasons this particular style of transaction has been a constant in Southern Nevada in the last decade-and-a-half.

Many buyers are relocating from higher-priced markets like California, Seattle and Hawaii, Little said. “Many of these individuals are retiring and selling more expensive homes, allowing them to downsize and purchase less expensive properties in Las Vegas with cash.”

Redfin reports that 30.7 percent – or one-third – of all homes bought in the nation are currently carried out by cash buyers. And while all-cash transactions are still a regular occurrence in Las Vegas, they originally reached their peak in 2013, at which time they made up a whopping 63.8 percent of all home purchases.

The slight decrease over time in cash purchases in the valley can be contributed to several factors, Little said, such as rising home prices – January saw a new record broken in Vegas as the median price of a single-family house reached an all-time high of $485,000 – and high interest rates on home mortgages, in addition to the steadily-increasing demand for rental units in the region.

Las Vegas offers strong investment opportunities in rental properties, supported by landlord-friendly laws and a high demand for rentals,” he said. “Investors also find appeal in the region’s newer construction, lack of state income taxes, fewer natural disasters and the overall growth potential, which makes for an attractive return on investment.”

LAS VEGAS, NV – The luxury housing market in Las Vegas is already off to a very strong start in 2025, with January’s biggest sale coming in at a whopping $13.5 million for a high-end property located in the affluent The Ridges master-planned community in Summerlin.

Simply Vegas owner and listing agent of the sale, Gavin Ernstone, said that Las Vegas is off to one of the best years that its luxury housing market has seen in some time.

It’s a very busy start to the year,” he said. “We’re just seeing a very solid influx of people buying. The market is the strongest it’s been in about three years.”

Situated in The Ridges’ Azure neighborhood, the 12,445-square-foot home – originally built in 2013 – is located on a 0.89-acre plot of land boasting breathtaking scenic views and features five bedrooms, five full baths, four half baths and a four-car garage.

Situated on a huge, near-acre lot with utmost privacy and amazing mountain views, this home has style, finish and build qualities that are second to none,” Ernstone said. “It has a fantastic floor plan with dual primary suites with one up and one down. Both suites have gorgeous spa-quality baths and spectacular walk-in closets.”

The home also has many posh amenities, such as a large chef’s kitchen with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, a great room with a showcase wine cellar and large bar, and an upstairs game room that converts into a movie theater.

Multiple pocketing doors create the ultimate indoor/outdoor vibe and lead to an oasis-like backyard,” Ernstone said. “There’s an enormous pool, chic cabana, full outdoor kitchen and putting green that transform the yard into the ultimate private resort.”

The residence, located on Flying Cloud Lane, was a unique sale in the sense that it involved a transaction between two LLCs; according to Clark County records, Azure 53 LLC was the seller, whereas the buyer is listed as being Red Global 4 LLC, managed by noted entrepreneur, venture capitalist and philanthropist Darin Feinstein.

While much of the real estate market in Vegas has seen a slowdown amid skyrocketing interest rates on home mortgages; however, the luxury market has not faced such issues, as many of the deals carried out in that segment involve wealthy individuals who typically close their deals with cash.

LAS VEGAS, NV – Martinique Bay, a 256-unit apartment complex located in Henderson’s Green Valley North master-planned community, has been purchased by a New York-based real estate management firm for a currently undisclosed price.

Clarion Partners Real Estate Income Fund Inc. (CPREX) made the announcement of the acquisition late last week, with Rick Schaupp, the firm’s Managing Director and Fund Manager, saying that the multifamily property was an attractive buy due to it being located in an up-and-coming neighborhood that is adjacent to numerous desirable local amenities.

The purchase of Martinique Bay, in the thriving planned community of Green Valley, is not only ideally located near the Harry Reid International Airport and major shopping and employment hubs, but it is also a great property for families with its above-average unit sizes and access to some of the best public schools in the greater Las Vegas metro,” Schaupp said.

Martinique Bay, according to its website, is a garden-style, luxury apartment building offering tenants two-and-three-bedroom units with numerous high-end perks that are sure to “turn your dream home into a reality.” In addition, the complex’s closeness to the entertainment and dining options of the city of Las Vegas is touted as a major plus as well.

Inside, modern comforts like ample closet space and full-size laundry appliances help simplify your lifestyle, while premium finishes like stainless-steel appliances and bay windows provide plenty of aesthetic appeal,” the website reads. “As a bonus, you’ll be able to take advantage of a robust amenity package and a vibrant location near the very best of the city.”

CPREX currently has over $11 billion invested in the multifamily housing industry throughout multiple major metropolitan marketplaces across the country – including $2 billion in Las Vegas alone – and boasts decades of experience in property management.

LAS VEGAS, NV – According to newly-released records, the all-time record for the sale of a single-family home in Las Vegas was shattered back in May when a residence in the ultra-affluent The Summit Club master-planned community sold for a whopping $35 million, besting the previous record-holder, the sale of singer Celine Dion’s home – literally right next door – for $30 million in 2023.

In addition to setting the new record for overall closing price, the home in question – a two-story estate located on a 1.5-acre plot of land on Summit Club Drive – also set the record for price per square foot, which came out to be $3,063.

The record-breaking home comes in at 11,427 square feet and boasts five bedrooms, seven baths and a six-car garage, along with numerous luxury amenities such as a pool with a waterfall and a spa.

Patrick and Andrea Ramsey were the sellers, and had purchased the land for $2.5 million in 2016 and constructed their custom abode in 2017. Southern California business owners Ronald and Janis Soto were the buyers, and both parties in the sale were represented by Anthony Spiegel, who was working for IS Luxury at the time, but who has since has moved on to Lusso Residential Sales.

Spiegel said that it was a interesting development that the two biggest single-family home sales in the history of Las Vegas were literally neighbors to each other, and noted that the reason for this development is due to The Summit Club being such an attractive place for the rich and powerful to call home.

What gives any real estate real value is the location. At some point, there’s only so much replacement value that can be attributed to the value of the home,” Spiegel said. “If you look at the mega properties around the world, they trade at a premium to replacement value. That premium is generally a location premium. What makes it a $35 million home is that it’s in The Summit, a Discovery Land project and the only membership club in the city. It’s not just a neighborhood. It’s a community that people want to belong to, and there’s a cost that’s not only found in the membership fees but in the real estate.”

LAS VEGAS, NV – Clark County announced this week that they had purchased 20 acres of U.S. government-controlled land from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to construct Nevada’s first-of-its-kind affordable residential housing community.

Officials confirmed that Clark County bought the land – located along Cactus Avenue in the southwest Las Vegas Valley – from BLM for the price of $100 an acre, with the intention of constructing 210 single-family homes aimed at first-time homebuyers who earn approximately $70,000 a year or less.

The community will be dubbed “Cactus Trails” once it is complete, and will offer three- and four-bedroom homes with numerous amenities for its residents, such as a playground, walking and hiking trails, and much more.

The plan, originally announced on July 16, will see Clark County retaining ownership of the land, which will ensure that prices remain at affordable levels, according to a post made by officials on X (formerly Twitter).

Plans for the project are expected to be submitted this fall,” the post said. “After the homes are built, qualified homebuyers will purchase the home while the County maintains ownership of the land to keep the cost of homebuying attainable for working families.”

Documents were signed last Friday officially transferring the 20 acres of land at a ceremony attended by officials from Clark County, the Biden Administration, BLM, and the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

At the event, District F Commissioner Justin Jones noted that Clark County’s commitment to providing affordable housing for its residents is a top priority.

Clark County has invested millions of dollars to foster development of affordable housing for working families and seniors on fixed income within our community,” he said. “Cactus Trails will be a first-of-its kind development in our community, aiming to offer affordable homeownership opportunities to working families.”

LAS VEGAS, NV – The sale of the Anthem Country Club home of former Las Vegas Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels for $4.8 million was the highest-priced residential transaction in the valley in May, according to new real estate figures that have just been released.

Despite the seemingly impressive payday, McDaniels actually came out on the short end of the deal, selling his home for a loss after initially purchasing it two years ago for $4.95 million.

The residence, located on a half-acre in Henderson’s high-end Anthem master-planned community, is a one-story, Santa Barbara-style home originally built in 2005 that offers 6,705 square feet of space and has four bedrooms, six baths, an office and a three-car garage.

The home boasts a wide array of lavish and high-end amenities, including a movie theater, billiard room, wet bar with pocket doors, and wine chillers. The large, well-equipped kitchen is designed for entertaining guests and features a walk-in pantry, butler’s pantry, and breakfast nook, marble flooring and a Sonos® surround sound system controlled by an iPad that includes both indoor and outdoor speakers.

In addition, the extensive backyard includes a covered patio, pool, spa, built-in barbecue area with a fireplace, and views of the nearby golf course.

The sale marked the end of McDaniels’ residency in Las Vegas following his public firing as the Raiders’ head coach halfway through the 2023 NFL season. At the time of his ouster, he had only helmed the Raiders for less than two years, but during his tenure he was criticized for his team’s inability to hold leads and close out games; he finished his time with the Raiders with a record of 9–16.

Before purchasing his Anthem Country Club home, he had previously considered living in Southern Highlands.

LAS VEGAS, NV – According to Clark County property records, Lennar Corporation, one of the largest home construction companies in the United States, has bought 37 acres of land in Henderson for $45 million from California-based Trilogy Land Holdings LLC.

It is expected that Lenar will develop the vacant land – the sale of which closed on March 1 – into a single-family residential community. The property is located in west Henderson, just south of the Henderson Executive Airport and the master-planned community of Inspirada, close to the McCullough Range and Black Mountain.

Based out of Miami-Dade County in Florida, Lennar Corporation is the second-largest homebuilder in the nation based on the number of homes sold as of 2023, with 68,817 recorded closings; in that same year, the company was ranked 119th on the Fortune 500. Lennar Corporation’s share price has soared 235 percent in the last half decade, with a 17 percent gain in just the last three months alone.

Henderson, Nevada is heralded as one of the fastest-growing municipalities in the nation, seeing a large explosion recently in both the residential and commercial real estate industries; in January, the city approved plans submitted by Woodside Homes of Nevada for the development of two residential subdivision projects – dubbed Cadence Acacia and Cadence Meridian – on nearly 17 acres of land, for a total of 160 lots.

Development in Henderson has also commenced on The Canyon at Ascaya, which upon completion will offer 51 multimillion-dollar residences designed and built by Las Vegas luxury developer Blue Heron, and will feature impressive views of the Las Vegas Valley, including the famed Las Vegas Strip. The homes in The Canyon at Ascaya will be comprised of single-floor, three-to-four-bedroom residences ranging in size from 3,391 square-feet to 4,407 square-feet, and owners will be able to enjoy a wide range of high-end amenities.

LAS VEGAS, NY – A Delaware-based investment group has reportedly purchased a 34-acre industrial park located in North Las Vegas for $115 million.

The Mosaic Commerce Center – a Class A, mid-bay industrial project comprised of nine buildings totaling 582,510 square-feet – has been sold by Las Vegas-based real commercial real estate firm The Mosaic Companies to KW FUND VII- NORTH BELT ROAD, LP, a subsidiary of Beverly Hills-based real estate investment company Kennedy Wilson.

Construction on the Mosaic Commerce Center – facing Interstate 15 and located about six miles south of Apex Industrial Park – was completed in July 2023 in order to meet the growing demand in North Las Vegas for mid-bay projects for office space and warehouse use. At the time of its sale, the complex was fully-leased with a total of 21 tenant companies, most of whom had moved into the facility in July and August of last year.

The Mosaic Companies issued a statement announcing the sale, with the company’s Founder, Vincent Schettler, saying that KW FUND VII- NORTH BELT ROAD, LP is a strong player in the real estate marketplace and should experience great success with their newest acquisition.

Today, we are delighted to announce the successful sale of Mosaic Commerce Center. This project exemplifies our teams’ dedication to excellence and innovation in the world of industrial real estate,” Schettler said. “We are thrilled that our buyer recognized the value in this project, and we look forward to seeing their continued success of this remarkable industrial complex.”

The sale did not encompass all of the Mosaic Commerce Center’s property; Mosaic Companies still owns approximately four acres, upon which they are planning to develop two service hotels and retail centers. The groundbreaking on the first hotel is scheduled to take place by the end of 2024.

LAS VEGAS, NV – According to Clark County property records, JEN Partners – a real estate investment firm based out of New York – recently purchased 54 acres of underdeveloped, residential-zoned land in south Las Vegas for $33.5 million, and speculation is running rampant that the property will be used for a massive residential development.

The land in question is located within the township of Enterprise, just west of the Southern Highlands community; the previous owner was Southern Highlands Investment Partners, and neither they nor JEN Partners responded to queries from local media regarding the sale.

JEN Partners, according to the firm’s website, specializes in “residential land and real estate opportunities,” and has previously built single-family residential developments in such places as Florida, Arizona and Texas. Overall, they have over 150 active or fully realized residential real estate transactions across the country, although their new land acquisition in south Las Vegas will represent their first project in the state of Nevada, provided if JEN Partners indeed chooses to develop it.

Enterprise is an unincorporated town founded on December 17, 1996 and is known as an up-and-coming township as well as one of the fastest growing communities in the United States; as of the 2020 U.S. census, the population of Enterprise was 221,831, a significant increase from the 2000 census that put that number at just 14,676.

Given its degree of rapid growth in recent years – mainly attributed to the development of the 215 Beltway, which connects the Summerlin and Henderson communities and provides easy access to the airport and the Las Vegas Strip – experts say that Enterprise would rank only behind Las Vegas, Henderson and North Las Vegas in terms of the largest cities in the county if it were to incorporate itself today.

Enterprise has recently seen a large boom in building in terms of single-family residential developments, multifamily and apartment construction, including commercial real estate.

LAS VEGAS, NV – According to Clark County property records recently unearthed, 1.62 acres of land on the Las Vegas Strip were clandestinely purchased by MGM Resorts International in May 2023 for $54 million.

Located in-between the Bellagio and the Cosmopolitan, just south of the iconic fountains, the property in question had previously been owned by Steve Wynn, who at the time also owned the Bellagio, Mirage, and Treasure Island. MGM bought those venues from Wynn in 2000, and in the process inherited the real estate developer and art collector’s rights to the 1.62-acre plot of land – currently zoned as a vacant lot – that it later went on to purchase in May.

The casino giant has not yet publicly revealed their plans for the plot of land, but experts find the purchase intriguing given the fact that MGM does not own the majority of the property upon which their resorts and casinos are located. For example, many of the MGM owned and operated casino hotels on the Las Vegas Strip are actually located on land owned by VICI Properties.

Since the news of last year’s sale has been publicly revealed, many in the real estate industry have wondered what MGM‘s plans for the property could be; however, experts say is unlikely that it will be used for another hotel or casino, given the relatively small size of the plot. Likewise, it is not expected to be used to create any sort of pedestrian connection between the Bellagio and the Cosmopolitan given the fact a covered walkway leading to an escalator already exists for that purpose.

Some experts say that the most likely use for the land on part of MGM is to sit on it while its value appreciates – typical of the finite amount of real estate on the Strip – with the intention of eventually selling it off to another entity to develop.
