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.

Sales Associate Roberto Flores led the happy couple through their walk-through of the property. They toured the resort pool area, marveled at the swaying palm trees, palapa and freshly planted grass and landscaping. Excitement built as they headed up the majestic marble and inlaid-stone stairway from the pool to Tessoro’s lobby. From there, the party rode up on their private elevator to the third floor – a floor that is theirs and theirs alone in the Jade wing.

You can only imagine the joy and pride on the faces of the Muñoz as the elevator opened and they surveyed their beautiful, pristine residence and saw for the first time their one-of-a-kind marble cut onyx mantle. Roberto had this description of the scene:

The condo walk-through was even more exiting. There were workers peeking through the service doors with great expectation trying to catch a glimpse of the Muñoz’s faces. It was a wonderful experience. The Muñoz found their condo impeccable. Alfonso’s comment was: “Roberto I’m overwhelmed, this is beyond my expectations it’s . . . it’s great!”

Tessoro is lucky to have many wonderful owners and would have been proud to welcome any of them as the community’s first residents. But we could not be happier that the Muñoz had the honor. Alfonso is an accomplished doctor and long-time Arizona resident was born in Chile. Sue is a sweet and vibrant mother and grandmother who has been planning for months on how to make her Tessoro condo the perfect place for her family to gather and her young grandchildren to play.

Tessoro takes great pride in the step that took place on Saturday. The whole Tessoro family congratulates Alfonso and Sue and cannot wait to welcome the remaining owners in the coming month.

Hundreds of Realtors visited Tessoro’s expo booth, mesmerized by the captivating images of sea, sand, lifestyle and fine architecture. Many were already familiar with Tessoro, which has been featured throughout the Scottsdale community in prestigious outlets such as Robb & Stucky Interiors, Luxury Home Magazine, and the Scottsdale Art Gallery Association. With its well-established connections in Phoenix/Scottsdale, its lucrative Realtor Referral Fee Program and its Arizona Public Report, Tessoro at Las Conchas presents of unique and outstanding partner for the real estate community with clients looking at Arizona’s Beach.

A three-day vacation at Tessoro was featured as the Grand Prize Raffle of the day by the SAAR event organizers. Tessoro generously agreed to donate the vacation in support of the hard-working real estate agents of the SAAR. New Real Estate Commissioner Judy Lowe selected the raffle winner, Associate Broker Kristin Cavaliere. Kristin will have the opportunity to visit Tessoro any time this fall or winter – several friends were seen in the SAAR luncheon lobbying actively to be included in the trip!

Tessoro congratulates SAAR on another outstanding annual Expo event. All Arizona Realtors are encouraged to contact Tessoro at sales@tessoro.com.mx or (602) 476-2396 for more information.

As promised, Tessoro is about to deliver and visitors were treated to a pool full of water, nearly 30 tall sturdy palms trees swaying in the breeze, a towering palapa, finished steps and first floor lobby, a nearly completed outdoor bar and grill building and green landscaping beginning to sweep across the site.

The elevators are tested and running – and visitors for the first time could see that they are graced with travertine and granite flooring with engraved Tessoro logos. Every detail shines with class.

The surprises did not stop with the building and common areas. A CEDO environmental expert arrived before sunset to conduct a first-ever eco-tour of Las Conchas from the Tessoro rooftop. A large crowd enjoyed a sweeping tour-de-force of Puerto Peñasco’s natural bounty without sweating or stepping into a kayak. Tessoro’s unique position allowed the guide to take everyone through San Jorge Island (aka Bird Island), the Morua Estuary, Pinacate Volcano, and the NaturArte oyster and fishing cooperatives. Sea lions, shrimp and crab nurseries, rare and migrating birds and bountiful tides were brought to life and seen from a bird’s-eye view. Also revealed were the new Las Conchas eco-maps, created in cooperative effort between Tessoro and CEDO for the benefit of the community and local environmental conservation efforts.

Back at the model, an American flag ruffled in the breeze and guest grill-master Bill Arrowood kept the hot dogs coming. Smiles, hugs and handshakes were the order of the day. Happy Independence Day America!

For those fascinated by a birds eye view, Tessoro is located at the exact midpoint of Puerto Peñasco between Cholla Mountain and the Mayan Resort. From the highest levels, at high tide, you can actually see both the water in Cholla Bay and the water in the La Pinta Estuary. And, of course, you can fully appreciate the beauty and majesty of the Morua Estuary in a new way, watching from above the tides, birds, NatureArte fishing cooperatives and more.

The elevators are provided and installed by Otis, the well-recognized international elevator firm. There are private residential elevators servicing the 4 vertical columns in Phase I — Jade, Ruby, Ruby and Diamond. There are also 2 service elevators that will pass between the Jade-Ruby and Ruby-Diamond cores. These elevators will allow for maid and maintenance personnel to service the building without being noticed by owners and guests. They will also facilitate moving and furniture delivery.

Each owner in Tessoro will be able to enter the resort, park underground near their elevator bay, and be transported effortlessly and directly to their residence. Imagine your elevator opening directly into your residence with an electronic key card – no shared hallways, no lugging your luggage, all the privacy and convenience to start your vacation off right.

· Tessoro uses a special thick dual-pane glass to conserve energy.
· Your powerful air conditioning units will have P3 ducts to harness every ounce of cool breeze.
· An on-site, state-of-the-art water treatment plant will recycle water for landscaping use.
· The buildings walls and facades have been fitted with a unique system of insulation to conserve internal temperatures.

The less energy we use and the more resources we conserve, the better we leave this planet for our children. And with all of the money these designs will save our proud owners, being green will never have felt so good.

What has wowed visitors the most? Many buyers have said it is the views from the huge, wrap-around terrace stretching from Whale Hill to the West, to San Jorge Island to the South, to the Mayan Palace and Estuary La Pinta to the East. Others have said it is the majestic great room encased in floor-to-ceiling retractable glass. Still others cannot get over the one-of-a-kind ocean-view shower window (you have to see it). Be sure to tell the staff your favorite part!

Tessoro begins delivering in Spring 2009 and everyone is encouraged to come get a sneak preview of what the next step in the evolution of Puerto Peñasco looks like.

 

It is here. The Rocky Point real estate community has been whispering about the Diamond Residence at Tessoro for months — an epic end unit that is the single finest residence in all of Puerto Peñasco and whose owners will have unchallenged boasting rights.

On March 20, the first day of Spring, Tessoro unveiled its fully-furnished Diamond model inside the phase one building. The model commands the mouth of the Morua Estuary with over 270 degrees of water views. Come to Tessoro for your glimpse at the next step in the evolution of Puerto Peñasco fine property.

Puerto Peñasco, Sonora, Mexico (Rocky Point) – Puerto Peñasco’s premiere luxury residential development, Tessoro at Las Conchas, announced its Final Public Report for Arizona on Tuesday, Jan. 20, 2009. This news will mark an expanded presence by Tessoro at Las Conchas in Arizona and open exciting new opportunities for Arizona realtors.  The development is also gaining popularity in California, where completion of the New Coastal Highway has opened up the Puerto Peñasco market. 

Tessoro at Las Conchas has been Sonora’s most eagerly awaited beachfront project in recent memory and plans to begin delivering its first residences in the spring of 2009.

Set majestically on a peninsula within the prestigious Las Conchas gated community, Tessoro is expected to raise the bar for development in Puerto Peñasco, bringing a whole new level of luxury and amenity to the fast-growing market. The project offers full-ownership condominium residences and expects to compete favorably with Coronado Island in San Diego and the top resorts in Puerto Vallarta and Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.    

Tessoro at Las Conchas is an architectural marvel crafted to be conducive to comfort, elegance and refinement.  All residences are accessed directly by penthouse-style elevators with a sophisticated electronic key card system (leaving no shared hallways).  All residences offer ocean-front terraces and rear balconies overlooking the Morua Estuary and Pinacate Volcano.  All residences offer private, outdoor spa tubs overlooking the Sea of Cortez.  And all are designed to bring the building blocks of nature seamlessly into your home, with river stone, alder wood, granite and marble.

The development’s common areas are just as impressive.  Luxury Home Magazine, reviewing the project, noted that “with resort-level amenities including a spa, infinity pools, yoga retreat, tennis, putting greens, boutique restaurant and sky lounge, up and coming architects from ar+k Arquitectos have certainly raised the bar for Puerto Peñasco.”

The location of the development also is unique within the Puerto Peñasco market, offering a rare mix of nature, exclusivity and accessibility to the town center.  Tessoro fronts over 600 feet of pristine, soft, sandy beach near the mouth of the Morua Estuary.  Not only is this the finest natural beach in Puerto Peñasco, but it is a short walk from a protected and much-studied estuary ecology offering acclaimed biodiversity – sea turtle nesting sites, rare birds, shrimp and oyster hatcheries and occasional visits by dolphins and sea lions.

Finally, Tessoro distinguishes itself among the best planned and most financially secure projects in Sonora or Baja – an increasingly important consideration.  The Arizona Public Report approval, rare for a Mexican project, is yet another indicator of Tessoro’s reliability and superior commitment to quality.
