As far as Las Vegas condotel developments go, Signature at MGM Grand could end up with a massive location boost very soon. So how could the three towers, which feature fully furnished, turn key residences end up bettering their location so dramatically? A full fledged NBA and NHL arena built by Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG) sure would help.
In mid 2007, Harrah’s Entertainment Group announced they had partnered with the very well respected Anschutz Entertainment Group to build a 22,000 seat arena behind Paris Hotel (see link for details on AEG and the arena). A spokesperson for AEG confirmed in late 2007 that they intend on breaking ground on an arena behind Paris by Summer 2008. (many feel this location is challenged, as traffic would increase dramatically in the area)
Signature at the MGM Grand is a luxury condo hotel project built by Turnberry Associates in conjunction with MGM MIRAGE. The towers of Signature sit on Harmon Blvd, just behind the MGM Grand Hotel. While the location of the development is not as spectacular as some direct Las Vegas Strip properties such as Cosmopolitan (condotel), Veer Towers (residential), The Harmon Hotel (hotel/residences), and Mandarin Oriental (hotel/residences), it does feature many amenities not found in other developments.
Pricing of Signature
The price per square foot for resale property in Signature is low, compared to units at Trump International and Vdara at CityCenter. The value of parcels of land on the Las Vegas Strip have increased in value 8x in last four years. How will this affect future value at this development?
Some perks of staying at Signature
- Close proximity to the monorail station at MGM Grand (good for convention and business guests).
- Private pool for each tower.
- Balcony access on many studio and one bedroom floor plans.
- Located near 20+ restaurants at MGM Grand including Joel Robuchon.
- 24-hour security and guard gated entrance.
- Soon to be professional sports in less than half of a mile?
The proposed arena by AEG would sit less than a half-mile away from Signature
Concerts and now possible NBA and NHL games?
Signature is already sitting pretty near the MGM Grand Garden Arena where major concerts and boxing matches regularly take place. Could you imaging what adding an NBA/NHL arena less than a half-mile away would do for the projects location and future value?
