Green Chair Blog: Denver Real Estate Search Engine Optimization WEB DESIGN INTERNET MARKETING GRAPHIC DESIGN CONTACT US ABOUT US HOME Green Chair Blog Green Chair Marketing Group is a Denver based search engine marketing firm that also create custom web sites and programming, as well as email marketing. We will regularly comment here on some of the things going on in search engine marketing, web design and some of the projects we're working on. Saturday, February 19, 2005 Denver Real Estate Search Engine Optimization I've been working on search engine optimization for Realty Oasis , a Denver based real estate office. The program they use is pretty slick and once they really learn how to use their web site, it will be very powerful. They have a 100 agents in the office, and the site will be used well by them because they are very technically savvy. Sites like this are a problem for the search engine. They have so much function in them that they are filled with a lot of code in the HTML. The search engines have to find their way through a lot of code before they get to the content on the site. Sometimes they will give up after 500 lines of code or a bit more. When you look at the pages that are indexed on Google, you see something called "Supplemental Results", which means that Google knows the page exists but doesn't have any content in their database for the page. What a site like this should do is eliminate code that is unnecessary or have the code called in from a separate document using Javascript. posted by Dave at 2:37 AM 0 Comments: Post a Comment << Home About Me Name: Dave Carlson Location: Denver, Colorado, United States View my complete profile Previous Posts New Web Site Design from Green Chair Microsoft PPC Product Getting Help with Search Engine Marketing Using Site Match to Get More Traffic Lead Generation Web Sites Quote on Procrastination Understanding Pay Per Click Advertising This is a paragraph of text that could go in the sidebar. -- WEB DESIGN | INTERNET MARKETING | GRAPHIC DESIGN | CONTACT US | SITE MAP New Web Site Design Air Cannons Colorado Homes for Sale CreARTive the Studio Metro Screenworks The Boylston Group Western-Moving.com Powers Products RBC Business Articles Karen Faulkner Verge1 Contact Us Green Chair Marketing Group Phone: 720-922-3124 Email: info@greenchair.net ©2005 Green Chair Marketing Group Hosting by Green Chair Hosting, Denver Web Hosting

Las Vegas Real Estate

In Business Las Vegas December 9 - December 15 Current Issue Special Publications Search In Business In Business on TV The List Book of Lists About InBusiness Media Kit Subscribe Contact Us Real Estate and Development Centex takes over Urban Village project By Jennifer Shubinksi / Staff Writer Fresh from paying $146 million for the 15-acre Westward Ho site near the north end of the Strip, Centex Destination Properties has turned its sights to the south with the purchase of Urban Village Las Vegas. Denver-based Centex Destination Properties, a division of the Houston-based Centex Homes, bought the first phase - 13.6 acres - and the original Urban Village Las Vegas concept promoted by Diversified Real Estate Group. The purchase price was not disclosed. Clark County recorder's data does not show any recent sales between the two parties. Centex Destination Properties has the option to purchase the remainder of the 50-acre site at a later date, said C.J. Julin, Centex Destination vice president of market ing. The Urban Village concept will remain largely unchanged from its Diversified beginnings. (Diversified Real Estate Group is owned by Philippe Pageau-Goyette, formerly involved in the under-construction Manhattan Condominiums at Las Vegas Boulevard South and Serene Avenue and who is also involved in the development of condo tower Club Renaissance in downtown Las Vegas.) Urban Village, at the southwest corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Pyle Avenue, will include five neighborhoods with about 2,400 condominium houses in brownstones, high rises, live-work spaces, flats, lofts and condo-hotel units. Also slated for the project will be restaurants, service retailers, a pool complex and fitness center, jogging paths and parks. The first phase of the project will consist of the brownstone portion of the project, Julin said. The architecture will resemble the brownstones of the East Coast, Chicago and Boston areas with an emphasis on brick, Julin said. Reservations for the first phase will begin after the first of the year with construction tentatively scheduled for the spring, Julin said. Price ranges for units were not disclosed. John Restrepo, principal at Las Vegas-based Restrepo Consulting Group, said large companies buying out smaller companies' ideas is not uncommon, whether it's in the high-tech field or in real estate. "Maybe Philippe wants to focus on Club Renaissance and they (Centex Destination Properties) probably gave him an offer he couldn't refuse," Restrepo said. Restrepo said this type of transaction is positive for the market and means the project will probably get built more quickly than if it had stayed with a smaller developer. "It will allow Philippe to focus on his downtown property," Restrepo said. "They are a small company and they can only manage so many projects at one time." Officials with Centex Destination Properties view the Las Vegas market as the place to be right now. "There's nothing like Las Vegas in the world," Julin said. "In Las Vegas, that's the attraction - Las Vegas." Centex Destination Properties entered the Las Vegas market several years ago with its Lake Las Vegas resort communities. It was the positive feedback from that project that in part spurred the company to pursue further opportunities in the valley, Julin said. Centex Homes, a large Las Vegas homebuilder, has built homes in Las Vegas since 1952. Centex Destination Properties has essentially made bookends of Las Vegas Boulevard - with its Urban Village at the south and the Westward Ho at the north. Centex Destination Properties in September, together with Gary Tharaldson, created a limited liability company to acquire the Westward Ho hotel and casino. Details on redevelopment of the site have not been released. Tharaldson was the original financier for Diversified Real Estate Group for the Urban Village Las Vegas concept. Urban Village Las Vegas is helping define Centex Destination Properties' direction, Paul Stashick, president of the West Division of Centex Destination Properties, said in a statement. "We plan to take this concept to addi tional markets and create similar villages that reflect the unique qualities of other cities," Stashick said in the statement. In other news: • Del American, the development company that was sued for changing its pricing structure on the under-construction Vegas Grand, has announced new plans for its previously announced condominium at Flamingo Road and Hugh Hefner Drive, near the Palms. Now called Las Vegas 888 (previously called Las Vegas One), the planned 50-story tower is now in the reservation stage. Condominiums at Las Vegas 888 are priced from $750,000 to more than $10 million. • Wright Engineers is under construction with an office building at Buffalo Drive and Peak to accommodate its expanding workforce. The 16,000-square-foot building will be located next door to its existing building, which will continue to house its structural and engineering departments. The new building will accommodate the company's expanding civil engineering department and surveying division. "The Las Vegas construction market has been unbelievable and we have been fortunate as a company to ride the wave of this phenomenal growth," said Brent Wright, president and chief executive of Wright Engineers. "This additional office will help us to better serve our clients and accommodate our continued growth." The move-in date for the new building, which Wright Engineers has purchased, is July. • Las Vegas-based Slade Development re cently announced its plans for Vantage Lofts, planned for the southwest corner of Gibson Road and Paseo Verde Parkway in Hender son. Vantage Lofts is planned for construction in three phases. Phase one will encompass 110 units and has an expected completion date in the fourth quarter of 2006. Construc tion of phase two is scheduled to begin the second quarter of 2006. Slade Development, which has built and sold custom homes in the past, is the developer and design builder. Metropolitan Realty is the development's broker. The development consists of one-and two-bedroom flats, town homes and two-story lofts ranging in size from 1,000 to 2,600 square feet. The project will be terraced into the hills with glass walls that will give views of the city and the mountains, the developer said. • Sunvest Communities USA LLC bought three Las Vegas apartment properties totaling 836 units for a total cost of $103 million. The company's Las Vegas portfolio already includes the Latigo and Desert Shore Villas properties, both condo conversions. Sunvest bought the 180-unit Southgate, 2615 W. Gary Ave., in Las Vegas from St. James Las Vegas LLC for $21.6 million. The lender is Key Bank National. The company also purchased Traverse Point, a 296-unit property at 45 Maleena Mesa St. in Henderson, from Traverse Point Apartments LLC for $39.96 million. The Lender is JP Morgan Chase Bank NA. It also bought Pinehurst Apartments, 6650 Warm Springs Road in Las Vegas from Pine hurst Apartments LLC for $42 million for 360 units. The lender is JP Morgan Chase Bank NA.
