LOS ANGELES — The Siegel Group Nevada, Inc., a Commercial Real Estate & Business Development Company, today announced that it had completed its acquisition of the Mark Twain Apartments; a 228 unit apartment complex situated on approximately 4.30 acres of land in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Siegel Suites Twain II has a terrific unit-mix and our slogan, “Size Matters. Our Suites Are Bigger” applies perfectly to this property which features large two-bedroom units as well as a unique one-bedroom, one-and-a-half baths which is a rarity in the multi-residential market that we believe our tenants will appreciate.”
