In the first property, which is located just off the Las Vegas Strip and across the street from the Wynn Resort and golf course, Geoffrey West, Director of Investments/Apartments for Cushman & Wakefield | Commerce (Nevada) represented Hall Equities Group in its purchase of the property from Garrison Commercial Funding, LLC. The purchase consisted of 359 extended-stay apartment units totaling 143,280 SF located at 3684 Paradise Road, Las Vegas, NV for $11,000,000.

This three-story extended-stay property was purchased from Metzia Holding, LLC.

"There is strong demand for quality extended-stay apartment properties in this market," West said. "Being centrally located near the Strip and the Las Vegas Convention Center, the Paradise Road property provides a location that is extremely conducive to residential, business, and leisure occupancy in the heart of Las Vegas and the Tropicana Avenue property provides a complementary location with close proximity to major employers on the Strip and the surrounding area." 

When combined with its prior purchase of the 396 unit Emerald Suites extended-stay apartment property in May 2012 for $18,500,000, Hall Equities Group now controls three extended-stay properties totaling 851 units in Las Vegas, Nevada.
