Though prices are nowhere near the golden days of the mid-2000s boom, interest is definitely there. Offering confirmation, <em>The Las Vegas Sun<\/em> reports that Newport Lofts, a 2007-built, 168-unit high rise residential project sold out during Q2 of this year. The building stands at Hoover Avenue and Casino Center Boulevard.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, a series of projects are preparing to break ground in downtown in order to fill the need generated by the area\u2019s increasing appeal. This month, the Las Vegas City Council approved a plan for a 240-apartment project at Casino Center and Coolidge Avenue. The project is led by New York developer Barnet Liberman and it relies on funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development\u2019s TOP program. The plan is to offer affordable units that will be made available for rent. In the developer\u2019s view, it\u2019s the rental market that\u2019s going to revitalize the need for housing in the area.<\/p>\n<p>After a brief period of seemingly positive signs in the Las Vegas market, new-home sales statistics released for the month of August show a discouraging record. It looks like the city is posting its worst numbers in the last 20 years.
