Located right on the Las Vegas Strip (South Las Vegas Blvd.), about three and a half miles from the Mandalay Bay. Hotel, this project is situated about a 10 minute drive to both the McCarran International Airport and the University of Nevada Las Vegas.  These units will achieve excellent rental yields and huge capital uplift potential based on this builder fire sale.  The units are brand new and already completed but based on leverage purposes, our associates have negotiated to push closings out until April 1 2009.  There are quite a few closed sales for the exact same 2 bedroom units in this project in the mid $400,000's.  We are able to offer the same units for just $262,350, that's a saving of over 40%!  A deposit of $5,000 is required with 10% payable in 60 days.  This offer will close in January 2009 to qualify for a rental guarantee of $2,100 per month.   

The Manhattan Condominiums are just minutes away from the heart of The Strip and bring the best of the urban lifestyle to Las Vegas.  The community covers 20 acres and features over 700 elegant condominiums in 9 four-story buildings.  The community's hub is a contemporary, 10,000 sq ft glass clubhouse.  The clubhouse includes a business centre and separate conference room, a screening room with a state of the art projection system and a lounge with a full kitchen and bar, which are available to reserve for parties.  The 24 hour fitness facility has commercial grade equipment, including treadmills and elliptical machines, with personal entertainment centres at each work out station and a separate room featuring free weights.  A sauna, massage rooms and separate men and women's locker rooms are available.  The community features extensive outdoor facilities, all in a beautifully landscaped environment.  A 1.5 acre grassy Central Park is the perfect place to meet your neighbours and provides ample space for volleyball, or for lounging in the hammock, and is the backdrop to the centrally located barbeque pavilion.  2 swimming pools, a tennis court ,lit for night use, and a basketball court also available. The community is pet friendly, featuring a dog run.  Manhattan Condominiums offers an ample set of services.  A full time concierge facilitates everything from dry cleaning delivery to restaurant reservations and show tickets.  The community security consists of a manned guard gate, 24/7 roving patrols, closed circuit security cameras that monitor activities and are available to view within your home and programmable electronic key fobs that allow access to elevators and buildings.  Guest suites are available to reserve for visiting friends and family.  Free Wi-Fi internet is provided in the park, pool and clubhouse. 

If buyers elect to close in January 2009, the developer is prepared to offer a rental guarantee paying $2,100 per month from January 2009 - January 2010.  Market Rent to follow the rent guarantee will sit between $1,550 - $1,600 per month.  Investors look to this development as an ideal 3-5 year hold, with a defined exit strategy, to fully capitalize on the initial recovery of the Las Vegas Market. 

We have a fantastic range of both new and resale properties in the stunning, coastal resort of Kalkan in Turkey.  Many properties offer magnificent views to the sea with apartments and villas being available.

A small peaceful Mediterranean resort and fishing town on the beautiful Turquoise Coast of Turkey, Kalkan has not been touched by mass tourism.  More sophisticated than the usual resort town, Kalkan appeals to travelers looking for more than a "sun and sea" holiday.  According to the Sunday Times, Kalkan attracts the kind of visitor who would also enjoy Tuscany or the Dordogne.  The Guardian likens the town to "the Italian Riviera minus the poseurs."  Because of its great charm, Kalkan has a growing number of perennial visitors who say the town is the only holiday destination they would choose to visit repeatedly.  There is simply no other town quite like Kalkan along Turkey's coast.  Kalkan curls snuggly around a historic harbour sheltered at the foot of the towering Taurus Mountains.  The town overlooks a beautiful bay in which islands seem to magically float upon the shimmering sea.  Narrow streets twist down to the harbour, lined with old whitewashed villas with shuttered windows situated alongside small local specialty shops and restaurants in historic buildings.  Overhead hang original carved Ottoman Greek timber balconies garlanded with thick masses of brilliantly coloured bougainvillea cascading to the streets below.  It is a very special place with a unique atmosphere.  Not only is Kalkan beautiful, but unlike other Turkish coastal resort towns Kalkan's main economy is tourism and therefore its citizens put much pride and effort into the town's historic preservation.  Because of this, Kalkan has retained the texture of its history by protecting its distinctive Ottoman Greek architecture (it was once an Ottoman Greek and Turkish fishing village).  Very strict building codes keep the town small and architecturally blended with the historic heart of the town known as "Old Kalkan".  Besides the famous "Kalkan Style" historic architecture, the many excellent restaurants of Kalkan contribute to the special atmosphere within Kalkan. Good dining has always been the way of life in Kalkan and continues today. In fact, Kalkan is said to have the highest number of restaurants and bars per inhabitant or square meter on the Turkish coast (over 100 of them!).  Additionally, Kalkan is especially renowned in Turkey for its numerous roof terrace restaurants and bars which offer a wonderful view of the town, sea and stars.  It's also nice to sit at one of the many fine harbour-side restaurants and watch the pleasure boats and fishermen leave early in the morning as you eat your breakfast, or see the fishing boats return with the day's catch in the evening.  There is lots to do during the day and nightlife is fun, but laid-back.  You won't find noisy, wild nightlife here, like in some other coastal resorts.  Kalkan has many fine qualities, but without a doubt, it is the people of Kalkan who make the town extra special. The people of Kalkan warmly welcome you, and you may at first be surprised by the universal friendliness within the town!

We have apartments in Kalkan ranging from just £59,000 with villas starting from only £99,000 right up to over £500,000 for our homes of distinction in this beautiful area.

This promotion of 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartments is located near the picturesque Spanish town of Manilva and is approximately 2 minutes walking distance from the un spoilt beaches of La Duquesa, approximately 5 minutes walking distance from the La Duquesa Golf and Country club and the Duquesa Port and is approximately only 20 minutes west of Marbella.  The apartments were price at 275,000 euro and are now available for just 150,000 euro.  This will be a huge growth area, so anything bought now will be a solid investment when there are more high quality developments in the future.  It is also within fairly close proximity to the world-famous golf course of Valderama, where the Ryder Cup was recently contested, and is close to the tax haven of Gibraltar.  Manilva is a tranquil place with a great potential for growth, which has proven to be very popular due to its history and unspoilt beauty.  It is a relaxed placed to live, with lots of quieter bars and restaurants.  The development is located approximately 55 minutes west of Malaga and the airport.  There is a commercial centre, with many restaurants and bars approximately 5 minutes walking distance from the development, as well as a clinic for health facilities. 

There are ample tropical garden areas with swimming pools and 2 paddle/tennis courts within the complex.  The development is gated so the facilities are private for the residents and there is private underground parking available with the apartments.  The kitchens are fully fitted with the very best of amenities, air conditioning is included with a hot/cold air conditioning unit and the bathrooms also come finished.  There is top quality Spanish marble throughout the apartments and there are wonderful panoramic sea views from the higher units on the development.

We are now able to offer a wide variety of brand new apartments and villa developments on the beautiful Silver Coast area of Portual with the apartment developments being priced from just 48,000 euro and villa developments being priced from 185,000 euro.  The Oeste Region of Portugal, sometimes referred to as the Silver Coast, was voted the European Golf Destination of the Year 2007 by the International Association of Golf Tour Operators.  Central to that award is the area to the south of the Obidos Lagoon, home to the famous Prai d’El Rey GolfCourse and 2 new championship courses, Bom Successo and Royal Obidos.  In addition to the outstanding golf, the area has much more to offer.  The medieval town of Obidos is considered one of the jewels of Portuguese National Heritage.  Within it's imposing castle walls, the narrow cobbledstreets are alive with traditional shops, bars and restaurants and from Spring onwards, the town is ablaze with the rich colours of bougainvillea.  Stunning beaches, beautiful scenery and some of the best wine in Portugal all go towards making Oeste the top investment region of Portugal.

An example of one of the luxury villa developments we are able to offer is the Perola da Lagoa Villas.  These 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom villas, situated at the Perola da Lagoa golf resort, are each set in grounds of up to 1,000m2.  Discounted green fees and tee booking service are available to all property owners and their guests if renting the villa. 

The properties are finished to an extremely high standard with fully fitted Italian designer kitchens and bathrooms, fitted wardrobes,under floor heating, a central vacuum system and private swimming pools. With just 10 villas available, it is vital to reserve early. It is unlikely that properties of this quality in this location will be seen again at this heavily discounted price of only €400,000.

We currently are able to offer a selection of homes of distinction in various locations in and around the Marbella area with prices ranging up to 25,000,000 euro.

Amazing villas are available with up to 14 bedrooms and up to 2,201m2 in build size, some having staff quarters, helipads, fitness suites, cinema rooms and several being ocean front.

We also are able to offer some serious reductions of up to 4,000,000 euro on a selected few of these fabulous properties due to distressed sales.

As times get harder financially, it provides a double edged sword. There is less money floating around at the moment but that also means sellers are having to reduce the asking price to gain interest, so we have expanded our horizons further for the best options available, in places like Cape Verde, Margarita Island, St Vincent and Grenadines with more coming soon including Italy.
