REAL ESTATE BRIEFS: JAN. 10

LAS VEGAS, NV – November 16, 2021 – KTGY, a leading full-service architecture, branding, interior and planning firm focused on residential, retail, hospitality and mixed-use developments, today announced the grand opening of Obsidian, a single family community within the Summerlin Masterplan. Geared toward young professional buyers, the collection of 94 single family homes utilizes an efficient footprint to help mitigate high costs in an often-expensive area.

Featuring modern and contemporary designs, the homes range in size between 1,355-1,899 square feet and offer two to three bedrooms across five floorplans. Each home includes at least one office area, a design feature introduced due to the increase in people working from home. Further, the combination of both front-loaded and rear-loaded floorplans creates a diverse streetscape that takes advantage of the existing topography; the result provides unobstructed views of the Las Vegas strip, while also providing private yards where possible. The plans are also a mix of 2 and 3-stories tall, delivering living arrangements for the various needs of the target buyers.

“Designing towards specific goals leads to great results,” said Bill Ramsey, principal at KTGY. “At Obsidian, KTGY crafted thoughtful floorplans that address the needs of families and young professionals that will allow them to live and work in a home that is unique to them.”

The homes are located within the Summerlin Masterplan, an amenity-rich area known for its strong schools, outdoor activities and entertainment options. Situated on a hillside site, with the Red Rock Mountains to the West and the Las Vegas Strip to the east, KTGY worked to ensure all homes have unique views. “It’s rare for a site to have such amazing views in multiple directions. It was imperative that we utilize the existing topography to coproduce an efficient solution that provides a benefit to as many homes as possible”, Ramsey says.

To emphasize the importance of blending indoor and outdoor living in a small lot design, KTGY maximized outdoor space with a mixture of covered and uncovered areas on multiple levels of each house and most homes have three separate outdoor spaces. Additionally, the homes feature multiple large window assemblies to help make the spaces feel larger.

The various roof styles bring a diverse streetscape to the neighborhood, mixing gables, shed and flat profiles. KTGY incorporated scored stucco, a favorable material for the Nevada climate, to create a horizontal rhythm on some of the elevations as well as masonry accent materials for additional texture and contrast.

“KTGY was able to create home oasis and bring to life a healthy living environment for Woodside Homes said Michael Colandone, Sales Professional for Woodside Homes. “From the conscious comfort features to the extensive indoor and outdoor living and the trendsetting architectural design, the Obsidian community will make its residents feel like their home is the happiest place on earth.”

KTGY worked with Howard Hughes and the builder, Woodside Homes of Nevada, to ensure the architecture and design complied with the guidelines put in place by the Summerlin Design Review Committee. The three stages of design and review processes ensured the final results were aligned with the masterplan design intent.

KTGY brings over 30-years of experience with single family homes and mixed-use communities with deep experience with families, young professionals and seniors. In addition to Obsidian, KTGY also designed the Chōwa House in conjunction with Woodside Homes in the Las Vegas area.

$105.9 million sale of 557-Unit AYA Apartments Brokered by

Avison Young in Las Vegas, NV

Las Vegas, NV – Sauter Multifamily Group, of Avison Young, is pleased to announce the closing

of the $105.9 million sale ($190,126 per unit) of AYA Apartments, a 557-unit property located

at 3600 University Center Dr, Las Vegas, NV 89169 (Clark County).

Avison Young Principals Patrick Sauter, Art Carll-Tangora, and Steve Nosrat are pleased to

have had the opportunity to advise the seller and facilitate the sale of the property. The

current seller had acquired the asset in 2019. The Sauter Multifamily Group was also

involved in that sale.

The property was previously an affordable property. The actual LURA restrictions expired

several years ago and the 3-year tail period that required to keep tenants in place expired in

March of 2021. As a result, all units are in the process of going to market rate.

Built in 1973 and renovated in 2019, the property features a mix of studio, one-, two-, and

three-bedroom apartments in a two-story garden style layout across 42 buildings and

171,692 SF GBA. AYA is located just minutes from the University of Nevada Las Vegas. The

name of the street was recently changed from Swenson to University Parkway as part of new

campaign to enhance the neighborhood. The City is investing a lot of money and resources

into this submarket because it is adjacent to the Convention Center, and they just invested

more than $2 billion into its expansion and renovations.
