gyms are some of the things our members are requesting.

BB: Obviously, the strongest plans are going to win—the newest in design, energy-efficiency, and technology. The icing on the cake is the ones that are turnkey, fully furnished, staged really well. It's for people who say, "I want it and I want it now." RM: We're looking at one house that has a bridge entrance. There's water under the house, water sometimes cascading a whole level or two, as you walk into the house. There's a new home coming in that has an infinity-edge pool that's about 300 degrees--not quite 360 because you have to get into the pool! It makes you want to tear your house down and start over again. The sophistication of the new construction is just mindblowing. Do you see a ceiling for the Vegas market? MM: We believe the upside at The Summit is limitless. There is a finite number of properties in the community so every sale creates even more demand. The investment in the property will be over $100 million, and as we develop the property and build the golf course and clubhouse, the lots and homes will become even more valuable.
