Closings Begin at The Residence At Canyon Gate, a Las Vegas Condo Conversion by Skyrise Development Group.

LAS VEGAS -- Since closing on the Canyon Lake At The Lakes apartment complex on June 30, 2005, Senior Project Manager Robert Katz has been working nearly around the clock to ensure a timely, quality conversion.

According to homeowner Lewis Lampley, Katz has achieved just that. "We came to our walkthrough last week prepared with a notebook and video camera to document anything left undone. To our surprise, the place was perfect. We put the notebook and video camera away and walked right over to the sales center to purchase an additional condo. The quality of the converted condos, its location, and its well-established landscape have made it a terrific bargain for us."

"Of the 504 condos, there are only about 140 left to sell," said Michelle Johnson, director of sales for Coldwell Banker The Condo Store, the firm retained by Skyrise to manage the sales and marketing function for the conversion. "This is a hot property in a perfect location. As soon as prospective buyers visit the property, it sells itself."

The Residence condos include one-, two- and three-bedroom homes ranging from 810 to 1,235 square feet with pricing starting in the low $160s. Homeowners can choose between two interior-finish upgrade levels or the standard level. All condos come with granite countertops and refurbished or new kitchen cabinets.

The Residence At Canyon Gate, Las Vegas is a 30-building, 504-condominium development with a comprehensive list of luxurious amenities. The Residence has three pools and clubhouses, two fitness centers and racquetball courts, a tennis court and business center. The condos are minutes away from Summerlin, Red Rock Canyon and only a short drive from the Las Vegas Strip.

The Residence offers resort-style living in an enclosed, natural, picturesque setting. During the conversion the well-established landscaping was supplemented with 25 California date palms, more than 2,000 plants, 70 new trees, a new front entrance and thousands of tons of new dirt and decorative rock.
