945 luxury residential units, Ivana Las Vegas super tower is set to dominate
the Las Vegas skyline. It will stand shoulder to shoulder with the

Trump Tower Las Vegas is a 64 story tower
located on the parking lot of the New Frontier hotel, across form the Wynn
Resort and the Fashion Show Mall. Reservations for this tower began in
December of 2004 and the tower has been a smashing success with more demand
than supply. The tower's 1280+ units have been all reserved for sometime
now. Folks who are holding reservations will be asked within weeks to
convert these reservations to hard contracts.
Developers typically expect 10-20%
cancellations when prospective buyers are asked to sign on the dotted line
and deliver contracts to the developer with the balance of a 10% deposit.
Given that the studios have been reserved for approximately $650k-$890k and
about $850k-$1.3 million for the 1 bedroom units and multi-millions for the
5 stories of penthouses, this translates into a significant dollar amount.
Shrewdly, Ivana - the ex-Mrs. Trump has
scheduled her select VIP real estate broker orientation the afternoon of the
same day of the Trump Tower groundbreaking. She is timing her launch, such
that she is prepared to give the Donald a run for his money with a unique
product that distinguishes itself from all current Las Vegas high rise condo
competition.
Ivana will be 80 stories and has a Las
Vegas Boulevard address. It is considered by the city of Las Vegas as a
residential condominium tower while Trump International & the extremely
successful Cosmopolitan Resort are considered hotel-condominiums. What this
means to the investor/buyer is easier financing and lower down payment
requirements, translating into better leverage for second home buyers.
Unlike other very successful Las Vegas
High Rise residential condo towers such as SKY LAS VEGAS, Icon Towers by The
Related Group, and Turnberry Towers, IVANA units will come fully appointed
& fully furnished.
They will be managed resort condominiums,
and fill a niche in the Las Vegas market that has as of yet, been untapped.
Buyers can use their units as long as they wish, or have the on-site
management rent them on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.
The tower's top floors will be elaborate
penthouse style units. Ivana will have a hand in the design & furnishing
selection of all units and she will be tending towards a more elegant
contemporary Italian flair.
Because of its location on the NE corner
of Las Vegas Boulevard & Sahara Avenue, each unit in Ivana is positioned
to capture long views all the way up the strip. And because of the floor
plate design, the tower will have a very intimate feel.
Reservation requirements will be anywhere
from $10k, $25k and up and Ivana plans to convert her reservations to
contracts in a much shorter time frame than Trump International, in a
business strategy patterned much like the Cosmopolitan Resort's.
Cosmo is preparing to launch "8", its thin tower fronting Las
Vegas Boulevard.
Both Ivana and "8" promise to
offer some of the most spectacular views in Las Vegas. Ivana will have long
southerly views up Las Vegas Boulevard, and Cosmo will have northern
Bellagio fountain views & southern views of the soon to be MGM Project
City Center.
Kirk Kerkorian, owner of MGM/Mirage is
focusing his efforts on the development of this acreage south of Harmon, up
to the Monte Carlo, exciting times for the Vegas Skyline .
