Strong sales activity reported at Aliante

Builders who have begun presales at the Aliante master-planned community in North Las Vegas are reporting a high level of sales activity at their temporary information centers.

Most notable is Sun City Aliante, an age-qualified community where Del Webb Communities has sold more than 140 homes since presales began in October.

Sales manager Lorraine Roberts said construction of model homes and amenities have begun. A planned recreation center will feature a swimming pool, tennis and bocce courts, a fitness center, and clubhouse with hobby rooms.

The single-story designs range from 1,155 to 2,105 square feet.

Prices start from the mid-$140,000s to more than $200,000.

A temporary sales center is located at 7891 Tropical Parkway, Suite 120, in the Centennial Marketplace at U.S. Highway 95 and Centennial Parkway.

Sun City is one of several planned developments at the 1,905-acre Aliante, which will encompass about 7,500 homes and 20,000 residents at buildout.

Developed by North Valley Enterprises, an affiliate of American Nevada Corp., and Del Webb, the site is bordered roughly by Grand Teton Drive, Centennial Parkway, Decatur Boulevard and Clayton Street.

Dan Naef, senior vice president of North Valley Enterprises, said prospective buyers should visit builders' off-site sales offices, rather than drive to the community.
