"Juhl" in Downtown Las Vegas Begins Taking Reservations!

The rapidly changing downtown Las Vegas area now has, yet another, addition to its already impressive portfolio of Las Vegas high-rise projects! "Juhl", a fifteen-story development, which will be mixed-use, recently began taking reservations!

Rich Gustafson, President of CityMark Development and the project's mastermind, feels that the town has created a large demand for this type of residential product.

The Las Vegas condo project is set to include 341 residences, which are available in over 100 different layouts.

A fitness facility (two stories), secured parking, fully landscaped rooftop, pool, and spas will all be incorporated into "Juhl". The development will also encompass 8,000 square feet of mixed-use retail shops.

CityMark, who has taken part in much of downtown San Diego's renovation, is excited to mark its first project in the greater Las Vegas area. On behalf of the development company, Rich said that, "We are delighted to be a part of the new, very walkable urban village being created in downtown. With the new Regional Justice Center, the World Market Center and a number of eclectic boutiques and restaurants opening up, the renaissance of downtown is well under way!"

"Juhl's" interior features will include granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, floor-to-ceiling windows, concrete floors, terraces, and high-tech internet capabilities.

Pricing for the Las Vegas high-rise begins in the high-$200's and varies depending on type of unit, size, and location.

Debbie says that, "Kaitlin is really thrilled when we visit the park and see her friends. It's so convenient that we've actually been to the park almost every weekend this past month." Coral Palm's park area not only has a playground for children, but it also has BBQ pits and dog runs.

Ms. Smith also said that, "I feel so comfortable knowing that Kaitlin is befriending children in our community. I've had the opportunity of meeting many parents, and enjoy their company as our kids play together. This makes going to the park pleasant for me as well." Quotes like these have been very encouraging to future north Las Vegas home buyers and the sales for Coral Palms have done very well.

Las Vegas condos within the neighborhood start at 1,056 square feet and range up to 1,200+ square feet.
