LAS VEGAS (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) July 7, 2008 -- The Siegel Group Nevada, Inc., a Commercial Real Estate & Business Development Company and Great American Capital today announced that in partnership the two companies have completed the acquisition of the Deer Creek Apartments; a 330 unit apartment complex situated on approximately 6.68 acres of land adjacent to the corner of Flamingo and Swenson in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Siegel Group had previously been negotiating the purchase of Deer Creek back in late 2007 with the prior owner of the property, Atherton Newport Investments, which acquired the property in February of 2006 with the intention of demolishing and constructing a condominium development for which it submitted for the required entitlements. In early 2008 the property was put into bankruptcy and assigned to a Trustee by the Bankruptcy Court with whom The Siegel Group and Great American Capital continued negotiations with; ultimately settling on a purchase price of $19.10 million. SASCO Properties, an affiliate of the Siegel Group, will assume operational control and immediately begin to correct the numerous deficiencies that the previous owner and property management company failed to address which resulted in high vacancy rates and numerous tenant delinquencies that are months in arrears. The property will be re-tenanted followed by a substantial renovation to correct years of deferred maintenance and cosmetic issues and renamed Siegel Suites Swenson and operate under the Siegel Suites brand which provides quality residential accommodations throughout Nevada. Additionally, The Siegel Group plans to construct additional apartment units with a retail component or a flagged business hotel on excess land located on the southeast corner of the property.

Stephen Siegel, President and Chief Executive Officer of The Siegel Group, said: “I am happy to announce that this newest acquisition marks our 16^th Siegel Suites location in Nevada. We have worked diligently over the last 9 months with the prior seller, bankruptcy court and trustee to finalize this transaction. As a result of our proven business model and track record in the Las Vegas market we are able to acquire properties at a substantial discount and secure competitive financing despite today’s increasingly tough credit market and are excited to have acquired a property in such an excellent location. Deer Creek is just blocks from such well-known landmarks as UNLV, the Las Vegas Convention Center, McCarran International Airport and the Las Vegas Strip and is situated directly across the street from the Vegas Grand; a luxury condominium development that is nearing completion and a perfect example of the tremendous redevelopment that is occurring in the area.”
