U.S. millionaires see real estate as the top alternative-asset class to own this year, according to Morgan Stanley. (MS)

About 77 percent of investors with at least $1 million in assets own real estate, according to a survey released today by the New York-based investment bank’s wealth-management unit. Direct ownership of residential and commercial properties was the No. 1 alternative-investment pick for 2014, with a third of millionaires surveyed saying they plan to buy this year. Twenty-three percent said they expect to invest in real estate investment trusts, the second-most popular choice.

The Las Vegas real estate market continues to rebound with significant improvements in the $400k+ market with the bulk of the high end sales closing at Mandarin, Veer, The Martin and One Queensridge Place.

Our team is pleased to announce that Brad Winston, CPA and prior CFO of CityCenter Residential (Mandarin, Veer, Vdara) and Tiffany Jones, the top Sales Executive from CityCenter Residential have joined our office and will be opening an office atTivoli Village in Summerlin on March 1st to expand our business into the Summerlin single family and condo segments. Collectively we have over $400mm in luxury sales and over 800 luxury leases so we are uniquely qualified to help you buy/sell or manage luxury properties.

Here is a brief summary of significant events and current promos:

• Our office is currently offering some of the best resale deals at The Martin, Mandarin and Vdara, please review the following link for more information: http://www.mylvcondosales.com/featured-las-vegas-condos/

• Many of the grey shell penthouses that were purchased at Mandarin are now being finished and we anticipate approx 10 to come to market. Contact us for more information. If you are thinking on buying at Mandarin, now is probably the best time…the developer is selling out and raising prices by $50/sf on select residences and the new penthouses will be priced at $1000+ per square foot so current condos on the resale market are probably priced at the lowest point we will see at Mandarin Las Vegas.

• The Martin is offering up to $50,000 off select developer residences.

• Turnberry Towers West (developer) is offering to pay HOA’s for 12m and has residences with tenants in place starting in the $200k’s.

• One Queensridge Place has now six terrace homes which are priced in the $600k’s.

• Veer Towers has various promotions with condos that have tenants in place, email us for specifics.

• The Stirling Club was recently purchased which should be a positive for Turnberry Place. (Although specific plans for its opening have not been announced)

• The downtown properties of Juhl and Ogden were sold, but the new owners strategy/pricing has not been announced. I will try and get an update for our 1st quarter 2014 update.

• SLS announced it will open labor day weekend. Our opinion is that this will be great for the north strip properties of Turnberry Towers, Turnberry Place, Allure and Sky. We are already placing SLS executives in these buildings and the influx of jobs should improve rental prices and ultimately sale prices. If you are interested in a multi-residence purchase with tenants in place, contact us for details. We have 10 unit-condo packages starting in the $2mm range.
