BloggerView: Emily Hafey - One Las Vegas

For our next BloggerView, we spoke with Emily Hafey, sales manager for the One Las Vegas high rise condo project located on the South Strip. Here's how Emily answered our BloggerView questions:

Q: Tell us a little about your background and how you ended up at the One Las Vegas project.

Before ONE, my background was in general real estate and retail management. My passion has always been luxury high rise condominiums! The magnificent architecture, amenities, culture, and lifestyle that they offer are a few aspects that convinced me that there is no better product available. In just over a year I have not only had the exciting opportunity to sell the best luxury resort-style condominium project in town, but I have watched it grow from the ground floor up. Standing on the rooftop of Tower 1 gave a whole new meaning to the phrase “breathtaking” and I am so proud of what has been and will be accomplished.

Q: What is the current status of One?

Towers 1 and 2 have both topped off and the completion date for this phase is estimated to be in the 1st Quarter of 2008. The total number of units within the two towers is 361, of which limited inventory is still available. Prices for current inventory range from the high $300's to just under $2 million. We currently have a handful of our Collector Series available as well as about 40 one and two bedroom units.

Q: What are the unique features of your project that sets it apart from the other projects in town?

The location is the hook: We are neighbors to many assets - the Strip, the airport, the freeway and now the new Town Square shopping mecca. The lifestyle is awesome; behind our private gates we offer lush pools, state of the art fitness center, valet and concierge services, and then there is the prestige of not only owning a piece of the Las Vegas Strip, but having the Las Vegas Blvd. address.

Q: Who is the target market for One? What attributes describe your typical buyer?

We have entertainers, airline pilots and staff, casino executives, roommates, students, corporate units, second home buyers, and even locals who will use their condo part-time to get away. You name it, we attract all types. But they all also have one thing in common; they long for the convenient and high-quality lifestyle that our project will offer them as well as close proximity to an exciting social environment.

Q: What is the process at this point to reserve a unit at One? What is available and at what prices?

15% is required to take a unit off the market and lock the sales price, so it is not subject to further price increase. A $10,000 fully-refundable fee will hold your reservation, when reservations are made available. We also offer 5% deposits to all local buyers, which we think is awesome!

Q: Do you have a showroom or a model that potential buyers can preview?

Within our sales center, we have a full model that showcases one of our most popular floor plans. The Plan 6 is 1546 square foot with 2 bedrooms, a corner den and two terraces. The ONE Las Vegas Sales Center is open seven days a week from 9:30 AM until 6:00 PM. A member of our sales team will always be available for tours and presentations. To accommodate the busy schedules of our local brokers, we also schedule office presentations where we bring ONE to their office. Even site and building tours can be arranged with advance notice.

Q: Any advice, insights, etc. for high rise shoppers?

The reputation and stability of the developer is one of the highlights of my conversations with clients. Too many times clients buy into the hype of a nice web page and a slick brochure, only to find out later the developer didn’t have a clue about the Las Vegas market, much less understand the thought, fortitude and planning that goes into a high end-high rise community. No matter how “slick” the presentation, it goes away, and you’re left with the residence, its features and amenities. Amland’s local resources, attention to detail, stellar reputation and innovative floor plans combined with BSR’s international experience, engineering strengths and global real estate history make us a powerhouse combination for delivering value, quality, and a convenient lifestyle.

Q: Describe One Las Vegas in one sentence.

You can search Las Vegas or any other resort destination in the US without ever finding a more complete and appealing marriage of product, location, value, services, and amenities as those found at ONE Las Vegas.
