"Our quarter-end goals have motivated us to offer prospective home buyers some of our most generous specials and incentives to date," said Sia Howe, vice president of marketing for Astoria Homes.

"At both Prominence and Fields, we are offering various discounts, unbelievably competitive financing, plus added bonuses such as zero closing costs, interest rate buy-downs and a number of other incentives, per plan and neighborhood."

Howe said at Fields at Aliante, Astoria Homes is also offering "$1 moves-you-in" financing, as well as down payment assistance programs on selected homes for qualified buyers.

Prominence at Aliante is a private, gated neighborhood of two-story homes ranging from 2,830 to 4,449 square feet and priced from the low $400,000s.

The majority of the homes feature family rooms, three-car garages, bonus rooms, courtyards, numerous baths, flex space and an owners' retreat.

Encompassing more than 1,900 acres, the community is bordered roughly by Grand Teton Drive, Centennial Parkway, Decatur Boulevard and Clayton Street.

About 428 acres in Aliante are designated for recreational and public purposes, including the Aliante Golf Club, the 20-acre Nature Discovery Park, Deer Springs Park, Aviary Park, more than 24 miles of lighted concrete trails and linear parks and an arroyo.

Proposed plans for Aliante include two elementary schools and a middle school, all of which would be built by the Clark County School District.

About 100 acres in Aliante are allocated for commercial development.

Ground was broken during the first quarter of 2007 for the Aliante Station Hotel and Casino. The resort will be located on a 40-acre parcel at the northeast corner of I-215 and Aliante Parkway.
