Recently, Gladys Griswold purchased a home at Siena that not only is the 1,000^th home to be sold at the adult community, but is also the third home purchased by Griswold at Siena.

Siena Sales Associate Ann Cropper assisted Griswold on all three of her recent purchases. "It’s a honor to be a part of such a momentous community milestone," said Cropper about the 1,000^th sale. "I have sold new homes in Summerlin for the past 12 years and Siena is what I consider to be the best of the best."

A native of Southern California, Griswold has lived in Southern Nevada for the past seven years and was introduced to Siena by a friend. "A friend of mine had purchased a home within Siena and that’s really how I gained exposure to the community," said Griswold. "In addition to the homes that were available, I was very impressed with the sense of security I felt as well as the variety of amenities and activities that were offered."

Griswold, who is the owner of several businesses, also found Siena to be a great investment. "Being at Siena is like being at a resort and I think snowbirds who are looking to rent for several months will find the community very attractive," said Griswold, who plans to lease at least one of her three homes that are expected to be built later this year.

The three homes purchased by Griswold will be constructed on golf course homesites that are located along the greens of the Siena Golf Club. And, now through August 31, when someone purchases a golf course homesite at Siena they will receive a golf cart in addition to a tiered incentive credit package.

"While each golf course home purchase includes a golf cart, the tiered incentive credit package is based on the homesite premium," said Jimmy Jones, Vice President of Sales. "The purchaser will receive between $2,500 and $6,000 in incentive credits, depending on the value of the purchase made."

Golf course homesite buyers will be able to use their incentive credits on a wide variety of options including golf merchandise, lessons or rounds; food and beverage; lifestyle enhancements including massages, manicures, fitness classes, events and personal training; home owners’ association dues; and Design Studio purchases.

"With fewer than 1,980 homes planned for its 665 acres, Siena was designed to offer our residents a quaint village-like atmosphere with a density of a little less than three homes per acre for the entire community," said Paul Smith, Sunrise Colony Company senior vice president and project manager for the Siena development. "Nearly one-third of those homes will front the Siena Golf Club, which ribbons its way through out the entire community, and lends itself to Siena’s overall flow and beauty."

Located on the southwest edge of the Las Vegas Valley, within the award-winning master planned community of Summerlin, residents find an adult community like no other. Here, set between the natural beauty of Red Rock Canyon and the sparkling lights of the Las Vegas Strip, Sunrise Colony Company has created a world designed for relaxation and rejuvenation named Siena.

According to Smith, Sunrise Colony Company specializes in the development of resort style communities, with more than 30 years of experience throughout the Southwest. "At Siena, we’ve taken our company’s legendary resort community concept and applied it to an adult community, where at least one resident of each home must be no younger than 50 years of age and children under the age of 19 are not permitted as permanent residents. Within its guarded gates, private streets, and patrolled neighborhoods, Siena’s residents have access to an unparalleled variety of recreational and social activities to enjoy including golf, swimming, dancing, bocce ball, tennis, craft clubs, social organizations and much more."

The new 13,500-square-foot Siena Golf Clubhouse anchors the Lee Schmidt and Brian Curley-designed, 18-hole, par-72 daily-fee championship Siena Golf Club and is strategically positioned to offer magnificent views of the 18^th hole, Lake Siena and the Las Vegas skyline. The fully equipped golf pro shop offers the latest in fashionable sportswear and accessories along with a full range of state-of-the-art golf equipment. A full-service restaurant, The Siena Bistro, features indoor and patio dining in a relaxed and casual atmosphere. And for special occasions, The Bistro serves as a perfect venue for social gatherings and receptions. While Siena Golf Club is open to all ages, Siena residents are extended special rates and preferred tee times.

The community’s 15,900-square-foot Tuscan-themed Health & Fitness Center features an indoor swim pavilion with a 25-meter pool, spa and series of two-story windows overlooking the golf course, outdoor pool and spa, lighted tennis and bocce ball courts. The fitness center is equipped with the latest cardiovascular and weight-training equipment, exercise rooms, and private saunas and steam rooms. There is also a comprehensive wellness center run by the Summerlin Hospital & Medical Center, a full-service beauty salon and day spa offering a variety of therapeutic massages, sports therapy, reflexology and natural body treatments.

The interim social center is currently home to a computer lab, billiards and card rooms and a sewing center. The facility features a full-time, on-site activities manager and is also the setting for a variety of classes and club gatherings, from ballroom dancing to watercolor painting.

Siena’s new 39,000-square-foot Community Center will break ground soon. A dramatic dome-shaped lobby and lounge will serve as the focal point of this facility, but the Grand Ballroom will serve as its heart and soul. A 17,600-square-foot building section will be used for such activities as theater productions, political debates, evening entertainment and much more. In addition, this magnificent facility will feature a cyber café, a business center, arts and crafts, cards and game rooms, and will be the hub of all social activity at Siena. The Community Center is anticipated to open in Spring 2003.

Homes at the 665-acre community of Siena range in price from the $140,000s to the $650,000s. Six Italian-themed collections feature 18 single-story floor plans ranging in size from 1,040 square feet to more than 3,100 square feet for buyers to explore.

Each plan at Siena offers three exterior designs and a wide range of customizing opportunities, including selected plans with courtyard fireplaces and casitas with separate entrances. Professional interior designers, headquartered in Siena’s new on-site Design Studio, are available to assist homebuyers with their customizing options.

Siena’s newest offering, the Portofino Collection, debuted early this year. Described by Sunrise Colony Company officials as ‘paired homes,’ the Portofino Collection includes four attached floor plans ranging in size from 1,040 square feet to 1,378 square feet. Base prices begin at $144,500 and range to $169,700.

To reach the Siena models, take Sahara Avenue or Interstate 215 west and turn left on Town Center Drive. Take Town Center south to Siena Monte and turn left. The sales office and model homes are open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

More than 30 years ago, Sunrise Company began developing country club golf course communities in the Palm Springs and Palm Desert, Calif., desert resort area. Today, Sunrise Colony Company is one of the nation’s most respected residential and country club community developers, with a record of achievements including the establishment of Indian Ridge Country Club, former host of the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic and PGA West, the Western home of American golf, which hosted the Chrysler Classic, the Skins Game and the Grand Clam of Golf. Sunrise Colony was awarded the 2000 National Housing Quality Silver Award for "Commitment to Quality."

In Las Vegas, Sunrise Colony Company is also developing the private community of Red Rock Country Club in Summerlin and Royal Oaks Country Club in Houston.
