Presales under way in Aliante

Brisk sales activity were reported during the first week of presales at Aliante, a master-planned community in North Las Vegas, according to Dan Naef, senior vice president of North Valley Enterprises.

"This is the event the valley has been waiting for," Naef said. "Our first neighborhoods are in presales and several more are set to open in the coming weeks. It is an opportune time for prospective home buyers who wish to be among the first to live in this exciting new community."

An affiliate of American Nevada Corp. and Del Webb Communities, North Valley Enterprises is developing the 1,905-acre community in an area roughly bordered by Grand Teton Drive, Centennial Parkway, Decatur Boulevard and Clayton Street. It is bisected by Interstate 215.

It will consist of a primary village and an age-qualified village, and will encompass as many as 7,500 homes and 20,000 residents.

About 428 acres of the community is designated for recreational and public purposes. Planned amenities include a 20-acre Nature Discovery Park; traditional and linear parks; a trail system; and a 6,900-yard, par-72 municipal golf course designed by Gary Panks Associates.

Naef said prospective buyers should call builders for information, rather than driving out to the Aliante site. Some temporary sales offices have opened off-site.
