Sale of Spanish View Towers Site is the Largest Multi-Family Land Transaction in
Las Vegas in 2009
SAN DIEGO--(Business Wire)--
The project that once boasted the largest crane - 285 feet - ever erected in
southwest Las Vegas Valley has been sold through a "stalking horse" bid process
on behalf of the U.S. Trustee. The announcement was made by Tigg Mitchell,
Director of Brokerage Services for Douglas Wilson Companies, one of the nation`s
most experienced specialists in receivership services for distressed commercial
real estate. 

"Our marketing efforts resulted in the largest multi-family land transaction in
Las Vegas this year," said Mitchell. "Our company also re-created due diligence
materials and entitlement assessments." 

The Spanish View Towers luxury high-rise project, originally valued at $660
million, was thrown into bankruptcy in 2007 when developer Tower Homes was
served an involuntary petition filed by several of the mechanics` lien
creditors. Construction on the 14.3-acre project stopped in July 2006. One Cap
Mortgage Corporation, a private investment firm and wholly owned subsidiary of
OneCap Holding Corporation, held the trust deeds on the property, valued at
approximately $36 million, including interest and fees. 

Located near the Las Vegas Beltway and Buffalo Drive, the partially completed
Spanish View Towers site is fully excavated with a partially constructed
subterranean garage. Entitlements include 390 units with wind turbine capacity
in the top 26 feet of three, 27-story towers and 29,000 square feet of ground
floor retail space.

district of downtown San Diego. It also has offices in Atlanta, Las Vegas,
Orlando, Miami and San Francisco. For further information, call 619-641-1141 or
