Puerto Peñasco’s finest beachfront resort, Tessoro at Las Conchas, recently raised $3,300 for the Boys & Girls Club of Scottsdale. At the Scottsdale Resort on Saturday, March 20, the Boys & Girls Club held its annual Celebrate Youth Dinner & Auction, featuring the Youth of the Year Awards. Tessoro was proud to be featured in a live auction at the gala dinner.

The Boys & Girls Club supports over 16,000 youths between the ages of 6 and 18 in several clubhouses in the Eastern Valley. The organization operates with an emphasis on outreach to teens, gender inclusion and family involvement. The continuation of these important activities is funded in large part by fundraising events like the Celebrate Youth Dinner.

Tessoro donated a one-week beachfront vacation in a Diamond Residence on the Las Conchas Peninsula. The Nuevo Temazcal Spa at Tessoro was kind enough to contribute two full spa packages as an added bonus. The winner was promised an unparalleled vacation experience in Puerto Peñasco in our new boutique resort in Las Conchas. Multiple bidders competed for the Tessoro package, with the winner paying nearly the full advertised value.

Tessoro at Las Conchas is Mexico’s 2009 Development of the Year and its design has been honored with 5 Stars by the International Property Awards and ranked top five in the Americas. Located on the Las Conchas Peninsula with water on three sides, Tessoro is Puerto Peñasco’s finest beachfront real estate offering.

Tessoro has been a strong supporter of the Boys & Girls Clubs in the Tucson and Phoenix Metropolitan areas. It is company policy to support worthy charities in our core markets and give back to the communities we serve.

Tessoro at Las Conchas raised $5000 for children’s causes and the JCC along with Brenda Lee designs in the Heroes for Children Gala on February 20, 2010 at the Biltmore Ritz-Carlton Hotel. The event was organized by the Valley of the Sun JCC and honored Phoenix Suns owner Robert Sarver. Steve Nash, the suns Gorilla and comedian Howie Mandel were among the high-profile guests, presenters and performers.

The featured auction of the evening was a Tessoro vacation to spend a week at Puerto Peñasco’s finest beachfront condominium resort. Who can resist a chance to get away to the Las Conchas Peninsula in Rocky Point, especially when it is for such a worthy cause? Making the vacation even more special, Brenda Lee Design donated round trip transportation to the winner in a private jet.

During the past year, Tessoro has raised over $15,000 for charities benefiting children’s causes, handicapped sports and underprivileged communities in Phoenix and Tucson. Tessoro has been a sponsor of the 2008 Paralympics Trials and a contributor to the Tucson and Scottsdale Boys & Girls Clubs, the Miracle League of Arizona, the American Liver Foundation, and the Bridging Arizona Furniture Bank. In addition, in the local Rocky Point community, Tessoro has been active in environmental causes. This commitment to giving back to the communities Tessoro serves is part of the development’s core principals.

Tessoro, its owners and its staff are all proud to have been supporters of the 2010 Heroes for Children event and look forward to being an active participant in charitable causes this year.

The Boys & Girls Clubs of Tucson has served as a leading force for youth development for over 40 years in Tucson. The six your clubhouses of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Tucson served nearly 7,000 youths in 2009. The Club’s programs are fun, safe and affordable for all younger members of the Tucson community and are offered year-round.

The Twenty-Ninth Annual Holiday Auction was presented as “The Show Must Go On” and was held at the Westin La Paloma in Tucson. The Holiday Auction is the Boys and Girls Club’s most important annual fundraiser. Dozens of children from the different Clubhouses of the Boys and Girls Club were there to greet the guests and remind everyone what these events go to support. Tessoro’s representative was the guest of Cris, Juliette, Joe and Carol Cristiani, who were kind enough to invite Tessoro to join their Aqua Chill LLC table.

New communities spawn new traditions. Several owners plan to spend the Thanksgiving holiday at Tessoro in Puerto Peñasco and this is a big weekend in the Las Conchas neighborhood. In honor of the holidays, Tessoro plans to start an annual “Turkey Chili Cook-Off” for the Saturday after Thanksgiving.

All Tessoro owners are invited to bring their family Chili recipes (use your leftover Turkey, bring your favorite meats or go vegetarian). In addition, Tessoro will invite some of our Las Conchas neighbors and a few local restaurants to participate. Tessoro’s own cantinero (bartender) extraordinaire Carlos will be preparing his own special Chili.

There will be awards for Best Chili and Hottest Chili in Rocky Point. Hit us with your best shot!

As an added attraction, Tessoro at Las Conchas will be opening its Spa and Fitness Center on Saturday, November 28 at 2pm. Tessoro’s owners will be invited to help lead the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

The Spa will be operated by the Nuevo Temazcal Spa group and promises to be a terrific amenity for Tessoro and the Las Conchas community. What services will be offered? How is it set up? What does it cost? You will have to come see for yourselves. As an added enticement, the Spa will be offering free massages after 2pm!

Tessoro welcomes you to take part in this new tradition – owners, neighbors, friends and guest alike. We wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving and wish you all the very best for the year to come. The Tessoro family is very thankful to have so many wonderful new owners and to be in a neighborhood as rich in tradition as Las Conchas.

The glittering illuminati of the property world converged in San Diego on Thursday, November 12 for the 2009 Americas Property Awards. From Argentina and Brazil to the United States and Canada; from South America to Central America and the Caribbean to North America, leading property professionals gathered for the results of the world’s most prestigious awards. Tessoro at Las Conchas was honored to be invited and, although hopeful, could not have imagined what was in store.

We are proud to share that Tessoro was named the Best Development in Mexico and the Best Interior Design for Mexico in 2009 and given Best Development and Design Honors for the Americas.

Tessoro was one of only 4 Best Development honorees in all of North America. Its interior design was given 5 stars and rated top-five in the entire Americas region. The Awards results and elite company of the winners made clear just how special the judges found Tessoro to be.

Tessoro is the first and only International Property Awards winner in the history of Sonora. This award is not only a great honor for Tessoro, but a tremendous recognition of how far Puerto Peñasco has come as a destination. That the Best Development winner for all of Mexico comes from this emerging beach community speaks volumes – Rocky Point has truly arrived on the international scene.

Developments from around the world were judged by a panel of 52 distinguished property professionals whose collective knowledge of the industry is unsurpassed. This year’s judges included Helen Shield, editor-in-chief of International Homes magazine, Ben Wood, head of property markets for Google UK; Peter Bolton King, group chief executive of the National Federation of Property Professionals; Imtiaz Farookhi, chief executive of the National House Building Council; Christopher Hall, president elect of FIABCI; Wilhelm Harnish, Master Builders of Australia (MBA); Thijs Stoffer, International Consortium of Real Estate Agents Association (ICREA); and Gillian Farr, head of design of Laura Ashley Home.

Tessoro is pleased to continue to bring good news to the Rocky Point Real Estate community, the Las Conchas neighborhood and its proud owners.

The Mar de Cortes International Airport was formally opened on November 5 in Puerto Peñasco. Dignitaries from all over Mexico flew in for the event and Mexican President Felipe Calderón presided over the ceremony. Sonoran Governor Guillermo Padres and Puerto Peñasco Mayor Alejandro Zepeda watched proudly as their beach destination became national and international news.

Private and charter flights opened last week and a commercial schedule is expected in early 2010. Interjet and Aeromexico are expected to be the first carriers to service the airport. These and several American airlines are in negotiations with the airport operators.

It has been an exciting fall for Puerto Peñasco, with the coastal highway to California, the Pinacate Biosphere visitor center and now the international airport opening. With infrastructure expanding, Rocky Point is expected to receive an increase in visitors over the coming year and broaden its market. While flight service will develop over time, everyone in the Puerto Peñasco community, American, Canadian and Mexican, will remember where they were on this day.

Tessoro at Las Conchas has been delivered at the perfect time and has captured the imagination of the Rocky Point real estate community. Soon you should be able to fly, as well as drive, to join us on the Las Conchas Peninsula at Puerto Peñasco’s finest beachfront condo resort.

Tessoro at Las Conchas continues its commitment to support worthy causes in its key markets in the United States. On September 10, 2009, Tessoro donated a week-long vacation that was a featured live auction piece at the Flavors of Tucson charity fundraiser. Tessoro is proud to share that it raised $1,800 for the American Liver Foundation and sparked quite a bidding war between three philanthropists!

Flavors of Tucson is one of the culinary events of the year in Tucson, where celebrity chefs from all over the city and elsewhere in Arizona meet to provide special dinners to a small table of donors in support of this worthy medical cause. Each chef serves multiple courses, each pared with wine, to their personal table of 8-12 guests.

The event was held in the Loews Ventana Canyon Resort in Oro Valley. Tessoro has been a strong supporter of the Mayo Clinic and American Liver Foundation activities, donating to the Flavors of Phoenix event last spring and raising over $2300. The American Liver Foundation’s mission is to facilitate, advocate and promote education, support and research for the prevention, treatment and cure of liver disease. Tessoro is proud to count among its owners two distinguished medical doctors.

The development is excited to welcome the winning bidder to Las Conchas for a week in Tessoro’s fine luxury beachfront condominiums. For more information about Tessoro at Las Conchas and its charitable activities, please visit tessoro2.kglabs.net or call (602) 476-2396.

Tessoro was transformed on Saturday. This time it was not about construction advances, but about people and the start of a community on the Las Conchas Peninsula. For Labor Day weekend, Tessoro invited owners, guests and community leaders to enjoy the resort and see why Tessoro sets a new standard for Rocky Point real estate and resort offerings.

Guests arrived all day at the new Grand Entrance and drove down the elegant paving stone driveway toward the resort pool area. Adults lounged in the sun on Tessoro’s multi-leveled deck areas and soaked in the infinity-edge pool, swimming up to the bar for margaritas and cervezas. Children played under the cascading water fall in the children’s pool, with happy sounds of family fun filling the air. People headed out from the beach to explore the sea and estuary on Kayaks. Others rode horses up and down the fine, sandy shores. And everyone returned at some point to soak in the luxurious bubbles of the large, sea-side hot tub.

Everyone enjoyed the asada and ceviche stands at the El Agave Bar and Grill, Tessoro’s phase one outdoor restaurant. An original member of Las Mujeres fishing cooperative brought the community’s remarkable trigger-fish and scallop ceviche to share and handed out 130 fresh-from-the-water oysters! CEDO leaders accompanied the cooperative and explained the wonderful sea food that can be found in the NaturArte ecotourism corridor in Las Conchas. A local “Asadero” handed out marinated steak tacos and manta-ray fajitas. Nobody left hungry.

Some visitors were there to buy (and sales have been active since Memorial Day!), others there to see what a resort condo in Las Conchas is like, and still others came to take pride in the another advance for the Puerto Peñasco community. The editor of Join Us newspaper, owners of local rental companies and the Puerto Peñasco delegate of Sonora Turismo all spent part of the afternoon congratulating Tessoro’s developers and new owners. There is no doubt this resort is the best news of 2009!

For all those who have not experienced Tessoro or the magic of resort living on the Las Conchas Peninsula, we invite you out to see what everyone is raving about. Tessoro’s proud owners are already living at the resort, so find one and ask them why they cannot stop smiling.

Do you want to spend Labor Day enjoying the most beautiful new resort and finest natural beach in Puerto Peñasco (Rocky Point)? Then join us!

Tessoro at Las Conchas will welcome its new owners and the Puerto Peñasco community to enjoy a beach and pool party on Saturday, September 5 from Noon to 7:00pm. You don’t want to miss it! Lounge pool-side under swaying palm trees and enjoy the amazing infinity-edge views as blue water blends into azure sea. Enjoy margaritas and cervezas served from under Tessoro’s towering palapa, Refill from the swim-up bar. Welcome to paradise.

The fun does not stop there. Tessoro will be welcoming a celebrity Asadero to make fresh Sonoran-style tacos poolside and a local fishing cooperative will bring their family ceviche to serve over fresh tosdadas. On the beach, Tessoro will be offering up horseback rides and sea kayaks to enjoy the majesty of the Las Conchas Peninsula and Morua Estuary. You haven’t experienced Puerto Peñasco until you have seen the beach in this part of Las Conchas. Guides from the CEDO ecological institute will be on hand to give nature tours and explain the local environment and sea life. It will be a great learning experience for parents and kids alike.

Tessoro will be delivering between mid-August and mid-September and welcomes our may proud owners who will be moving in that weekend. It is the only major resort delivering in 2009 and the finest real estate project ever seen in Rocky Point. Now is your chance to see what everyone has been talking about. See you by the pool.
