LAS VEGAS, Aug. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Inc. ranked Las Vegas real estate
developer Group Gemstone today in the top five on its annual ranking of the

"We're pleased that Inc. has recognized us as one of the five fastest
growing private companies in America," said Group Gemstone CEO, Alex
Edelstein, "Our success in a tough real estate market is evidence that
products with great design and companies with great execution can thrive in
any market environment."
The company's current development, ManhattanWest, is under construction
on 20 acres ten minutes west of the Las Vegas Strip. ManhattanWest features
700 residences along with shops, restaurants, office space, and a hotel.
"Our mission," says Edelstein, "is to build the best condominiums in
the world by focusing on quality of life. By building in amenities like our
own coffeehouse and wine bar, a 9th floor Sky Lounge with views of the
Strip, and services like dog day care, we can truly impact the way our
residents live." Gemstone's vision was validated earlier this year as
ManhattanWest was named one of the five best condominium communities in the
country by the National Association of Home Builders.
Las Vegas holds the unique honor of being the only city with two
companies ranked in the top 10 on this year's Inc. 5000. Joining Group
Gemstone at #6 on the list is Just Like Sugar, a Las Vegas based
manufacturer of sugar substitutes. Complete results of the Inc. 5000,
