Turnberry Place vs Turnberry Towers

Clients often ask me what the is the difference between Turnberry Place and Turnberry Towers, and here are my thoughts. Turnberry Towers and Turnberry Place offer distinct luxury high-rise living experiences in Las Vegas, each with unique characteristics and amenities. Both communities provide guard-gated security, valet service, concierge, fitness rooms, business centers, pet areas, BBQ areas, and are in close proximity to monorail access. Views of the strip, sphere and the city vary by location.

About Turnberry Place

Turnberry Place, built between 1990 and 2000, consists of four towers with 720 condominiums, averaging 180 units per tower. The units are generally larger, with two- bedroom configurations starting at 1,550 sq ft and penthouses…

Vegas High-Rises Are Aging Together: What Condo Buyers Must Know

Las Vegas condo buyers usually look at views, amenities, and price per square foot. This focus makes sense because these features are easy to see and compare. However, buyers often overlook construction dates and timing which can be crucial to making a good decision. Most high-rise condo towers in Las Vegas were built between 2004 to 2006, so they're now in that 20-year-old zone when buildings start to require more repairs and upkeep. Therefore understanding a tower's lifecycle is just as important as understanding its floor plan and amenities.

How the Vegas High-Rise Boom Created a Hidden Cycle

Unlike legacy condo markets where developers built condos over several decades, the Las Vegas market experienced a compressed high-rise condo boom. Multiple…

Is an Owner Financed Condo Right For You?

Owner Will Carry, or OWC (also known as seller financing), is an arrangement where the property seller acts as the lender, providing a loan to the buyer instead of a traditional bank or mortgage lender. This method can be mutually beneficial but also carries certain risks for both parties involved. But is it right for you? Let's explore.

When Owner Carry Works Best

When interest rates are high we see more and more OWC options with condos for sale. In addition to high-interest-rate environments we see this used effectively for unique or non-warrantable properties and for investment properties. It works well for sellers who don't need immediate access to all their cash, and for buyers who anticipate refinancing later. Closings are just like with a…

Boston's Big Two Bedroom Condos: The Downsizer's Sweet Spot

You're tired of mowing lawns and negotiating with roofers. You want culture on tap, a concierge who knows your name, and a home that still feels like a home. For a Boston high-rise condo, that often means a large‑format two‑bedroom, not a micro three‑bed or a trophy penthouse. It's a right‑sized residence with proper rooms, flow, and storage. That's the downsizer's bull's-eye: livability without compromise in the city's most coveted districts.

Why Big 2 BRs Work

The traditional script says "shrink everything." Smart downsizers know better. A generous two‑bedroom (think 1600+  sq ft) does three things very well:

• Real Life Comfort: Split bedrooms offer privacy. There's a legitimate dining area, and the living room easily fits a sectional without…

Why Las Vegas High-Rises Are Bought By People Who Don’t Live In Them (And How That Changes Your Playbook)

If you’re picturing Las Vegas high-rises full of locals riding the elevator to work, flip that idea around. The dominant high-rise buyer profile isn’t the full-time resident. It’s the incoming resident, the tax refugee, the snowbird, and the investor who wants a lock-and-leave asset that either produces income or at least carries its own weight. In today’s market, many high-rise buyers are from outside Nevada (especially California) using Vegas as a financial strategy first, and as a lifestyle base second. Let's dig into that reality and discuss how it affects you if you're a Las Vegas local considering purchasing a high-rise.

Priorities & Product Fit

For the California tax refugees the main driver is simple math. They want to establish Nevada…

Las Vegas High-Rises: Safety, Walkability, Views Guide

"Let's see the view!" That's the first line I hear most often when touring Las Vegas high-rises with clients. And I get it! One of the best things about living in a high-rise here are our amazing Strip, mountain and sunset views that extend for miles in every direction.

Las Vegas Condo Report for January 2026

I've been reviewing the January numbers for Las Vegas High-Rise Condo sales and it looks pretty good. While inventory is still high at 587 units currently for sale, we have seen 49 closings in the last 30 days which is a good clip. Those closings had an average list price of $712,699 and an average final sold price of $677, 167. That's a very respectable 95.29% of the list price. 

So it seems the Las Vegas high-rise condo market is still seeing elevated prices that are near historic averages. Sales volume still remains below peak years but that's not surprising considering how crazy those peak years were. We're settling into a more stable market now.

The strongest segment of the market remains the luxury and premium towers on the Strip. There's…

Dallas isn't waiting. Corporate headquarters are setting up in central locations, and high‑rise inventory is tight. The luxury market is shifting fast, especially in buildings with global prestige. Expansive two-bedroom floor plans make these units feel like single-family homes. For relocators and in-state upgraders, the short list includes Ritz‑Carlton Residences, Museum Tower, and The Mansion Residences. It also features Turtle Creek icons such as The Vendome, The Claridge, The Plaza, and The Warrington. The strategy is clear.

The Real Carrying Cost: How Florida's HB 913 Made Condo Reserves Honest

Buyers used to fall in love with the "deal." What deal? An ocean‑view condo with surprisingly low monthly dues. But then the letter would arrive: a special assessment large enough to flatten the ROI and the mood. Florida's HB 913 changed that story. By forcing structural‑integrity reserves into every condo budget, the law didn't make condos more expensive. It made the true costs visible. And in today's market, transparency is an asset in its own right.

Why Honest Dues Matter

For years, many associations kept dues artificially low by underfunding long-term capital needs. Roofs aged. Concrete spalled. Mechanical systems limped along. Suddenly, a major repair forced a one-time assessment that blindsided owners. HB 913 compels building associations to…

Vegas ROI 2.0: How F1 And Mega‑Events Are Rewriting The Condo‑Hotel Math

For years, investors in Las Vegas real estate treated condo‑hotels as entertainment plays. Pure condos appeared as appreciating assets. Investors viewed condo‑hotels as weekend trophies with nice cash flow. They rarely delivered strong yields once program splits, fees, and reserves reduced returns. Then the city changed the rules of engagement. Las Vegas didn't just add events. It stacked them. Formula 1 Grand Prix, the Super Bowl, Sphere residencies, global conferences, and high‑profile fight cards now overlap and repeat. The city's new rhythm has rewritten the return profile. The condo‑hotel math didn't change on paper. The demand curve did.

Event Are Creating a New Baseline for Returns

Old underwriting assumed event weeks were spikes, with…
