BloggerView: John Eisele - Juhl Las Vegas

After a tremendous Memorial Day weekend, let's start off the week with a BloggerView of John Eisele, the sales manager of one of my favorite projects, Juhl a mid-rise condo project located in downtown Las Vegas. Here's how John answered our BloggerView questions:

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

Originally from NYC, I served as the Customer Service Director for AIG for almost 10 years. After this assignment, I chose to move to Las Vegas to pursue a career in real estate. After working in general real estate for several years, I decided to work for a new home developer. Being a fan of urban environments in tandem to the my knowledge of the forthcoming renaissance of downtown Las Vegas, I wanted to have an opportunity to help change the face of the city and as such, joined the juhl team as their Sales Manager.

Q: What is the current status of Juhl?

Juhl is currently in hard contract and under construction. We are nearing 70% of the community being sold out.

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

We are in the best location of the downtown city and feature over 150 floor plans spanning 6 buildings. At the base of these buildings will be 27K square feet of retail shopping all of it walkable to the Freemont St. experience, World Market Center, Union Park, The Fashion Outlets, and the new Entertainment District.

Q: What is your opinion of the Las Vegas high rise condo market in general?

Vertical construction is still a solid investment choice for buyers. Despite the slower transaction in single family residential living, people are now seeking to live, work and play in the CENTER of entertainment.

Q: Condo or Condo/Hotel... what makes better sense and what are the good and bad points of each?

This depends on your investment strategies and lifestyle choices. Condotels would not be a wise choice for people seeking to purchase as owner occupied buyers.

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

Our target market consists of urban professional workers, both singles and couples, seeking to live an urban lifestyle punctuated by the ability to walk to everything.

Q: How are you building your brand and marketing to your target audience?

Our mixed use, architecture and builder reputation brand us through their own right.

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

We are in hard contract. To purchase at juhl, the deposit (which earns interest in the buyer’s name) would include 10, 15 and/or 20% down for primary home seekers, 2nd home seekers, and investors respectively.

Q: Do you have any social events, open houses, etc. that showcase your project to the public?

Yes. When an interested party and/or home owner register via our website (www.juhl-lv.com), they will receive invitations to various events we sponsor.

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

Know your builder, know your financial strategies, and pick a credible community.

Q: Describe Juhl in one sentence.

We are a community of primary home buyers seeking to live in one of the most aggressive architectural design the Downtown Las Vegas area has seen bringing with it a mixed use conducive to living, working, and playing in the center of entertainment.
