Rockefeller Group to Convert Former Las Vegas-Based Walmart Property Into Industrial Complex

LAS VEGAS, NV – The Rockefeller Group – a private company based in New York City primarily involved in real estate operations and a subsidiary of Mitsubishi Estate Company – announced this week that they had purchased the 19-acre location of a former Walmart supercenter located in Las Vegas, with plans to redevelop the property into an industrial complex.

The project, dubbed the Craig Road Logistics Center – which will be The Rockefeller Group’s third industrial development in Vegas thus far – is located at the intersection of Craig Road and North Nellis Boulevard in Clark County and is slated to be made up of at least two speculative industrial buildings, spanning a total of approximately 369,198 square-feet in size.

The company reportedly paid $19 million for the property, and Marc Berg – Vice President and Regional Director for The Rockefeller Group – noted that demolition of the existing Walmart building will start before the end of September, and that construction is anticipated to be finished on the new industrial complex by June 2025.

The buildings will be designed by Lee & Sakahara Architects and TWC Construction will serve as general contractor.

As for the potential tenants for the complex, Berg noted that they could consist of representatives from a variety of different industries, such as distribution, warehousing, e-commerce, light manufacturing, and assembly.

Clark County Commissioner Marilyn Kirkpatrick applauded The Rockefeller Group’s intention to redevelop the former big box store property, saying it would be tremendously helpful to the local economy.

Since the Walmart location closed in 2016, we have been looking for an innovative way to redevelop the parcel and bring back jobs to the area,” she said. “We are confident that we have found the right use for the project and the right partner in The Rockefeller Group.”

Las Vegas Strip

Developer to Begin Adding New Individual Retail Locations Along Las Vegas Strip

LAS VEGAS, NV – While commonplace in many other cities, visitors to the famed Las Vegas Strip will take note of the general lack of individual, freestanding retail storefronts lining the four-mile stretch of roadway; instead, the majority of stores are located either within casino hotels or enclosed malls.  

However, one New York-based developer is looking to change that via two street-facing retail projects, with one recently opened and another currently under construction. 

Developer Eli Gindi – whose family founded and owns the Century 21 retail chain – is behind the under-construction “door on the street” retail property dubbed BLVD located at 3743 South Las Vegas Boulevard. Upon completion, this property will utilize 300,000-square-feet of space to deliver two stories of street-facing retail space, with a 100,000-square-foot rooftop overlooking the Strip offering dining and “hang out” area options for patrons. 

Meanwhile, Project 63 at Harmon Avenue and Las Vegas Boulevard is already open for business, offering up 186,000-square-feet of street-facing retail space right next to the upscale The Shops at Crystals, an enclosed mall owned by the Simon Property Group. 

The move to developing street-facing retail on the Strip shows how the area has evolved over the years, with a major sporting component being added to its impressive gambling and entertainment options. With new venues opening nearby – such as the Golden Knights hockey team’s T-Mobile Arena and the NFL Raiders‘ Allegiant Stadium – more and more sports fans are being lured to Las Vegas and, subsequently, the stores nearby their favorite team’s events that they came there to see. 

Additional sporting attractions – including an upcoming stadium for the Oakland Athletics baseball team, as well as the city hosting a Formula 1 race in November – should prove to continue to draw fans to the Las Vegas, resulting in even further retail expansion in and around the Strip

11 Million Square-Foot Industrial Project Planned for North Las Vegas

LAS VEGAS, NV – San Francisco, California-based Prologis has announced plans to build an 11 million square-foot industrial project in North Las Vegas that will be situated upon 879 acres at Apex Industrial Park that the developer purchased last week. 

The project is slated to take the form of several buildings and construction is anticipated to begin within the next three years, with Prologis planning on also covering the cost of installing utilities at the site, located at Highway 93 and Grand Valley Parkway. 

The developer has not disclosed the price that they paid for the land and the deed has yet to be filed with Clark County officials. 

Prologis’ investment officer, Mathias Hughes, noted that the company sees massive untapped potential in the area in terms of its use as an industrial hub, which is what drove their decision to purchase and develop the land. 

Prologis has been operating in North Las Vegas for more than 30 years,” he said. “Our Vegas Industrial Park project demonstrates our commitment to the market while also enabling us to maintain our development momentum in Southern Nevada.” 

Hughes also justified the new development by referencing the success that Prologis has enjoyed with their previous commercial real estate investments in Las Vegas, noting that the company currently boasts 13.9 million square feet of space in the Las Vegas Valley, 96 percent of which is currently leased. 

We continue to see strong demand for modern and well-located logistics facilities in the market,” he said. “This industrial park will be best in class and its strategic location makes it ideal for a wide range of companies with varying logistics needs.” 

No tenants have been signed up for the Apex Industrial Park property as of yet.

Stadium Joint Construction

Athletics Hire Allegiant Stadium Joint Construction Firms to Build Las Vegas Baseball Ballpark

LAS VEGAS, NV – The Athletics’ ownership has hired the pair of industry-leading construction firms responsible for building Allegiant Stadium to build the Major League Baseball (MLB) team’s proposed new $1.5 billion ballpark on the Las Vegas Strip

 The A’s announced this week that the Mortenson | McCarthy Joint Venture will be responsible for handling all construction-related duties on the upcoming stadium, including estimates prior to the start of construction, scheduling and logistics planning, bidding, coordinating and managing labor, as well as engaging with the community. 

According to a statement released by A’s President Dave Kaval, the decision to go with this joint development team –  who are considered standouts in their field – was an easy one based on their previous efforts, particularly with the work they did on bringing Allegiant Stadium to life for the Las Vegas Raiders. 

Mortenson | McCarthy brings an exceptional level of expertise and experience to our project,” he said. “Their focus on innovation, safety and efficiency makes them the best in their field.” 

Despite the announcement, hiring of Mortenson | McCarthy still must be approved by the Las Vegas Stadium Authority before the deal can go down, although that is considered merely a formality. 

The new home of the Athletics – who are joining the Raiders in moving from their former hometown of Oakland, California – will be on a nine-acre plot of land situated on the 35-acre site of the Tropicana, located at Las Vegas Boulevard and Tropicana Avenue. Currently, the plan is to demolish the Tropicana to make way for the A’s stadium and to build a new 1,500-room hotel and casino on the remaining acreage. 

The A’s home stadium – a project expected to cost a total of $1.5 billion – is slated to take the form of a 35,000-seat retractable roof stadium. $380 million in public funds have been earmarked for the A’s new stadium, and the project in its current form could potentially also receive up to $180 million in transferable tax credits as well.

Guitar Hotel

Clark County Approves Construction of Hard Rock “Guitar Tower,” Replacing Mirage’s Iconic Volcano

LAS VEGAS, NV – Hard Rock International, the new owners of the Mirage Las Vegas, have gained the approval of the Clark County Zoning Commission to replace the resort’s iconic volcano attraction with a massive guitar tower-themed resort and casino, reflecting the eventual rebranding of the property into the Hard Rock Las Vegas. 

The Mirage Las Vegas transferred operations in December 2022 from MGM Resorts International to new owners Hard Rock, the gaming arm of the Seminole Tribe of Florida, who purchased the rights to operate the resort for $1.075 billion; this marks the first time that a Native American tribe has run a Las Vegas Strip-based casino in history.  

While Hard Rock plans to continue operating The Mirage under its current name for the time being, the eventual plan is to re-brand the resort with the Hard Rock name in 2024 and redevelop the building into the same trademark guitar-style shape as other Hard Rock resorts. 

The eventual plan for the resort includes a 600-room, 660-foot-tall project along Las Vegas Boulevard – slated to be built exactly where the existing Mirage volcano currently is – with 49,000 square feet of gaming area and 96,000 square feet of retail and restaurants; amenities will include a pool, spa, fitness center, and salon. 

According to Jennifer Lazovich, a land-use attorney with law firm Kaempfer Crowell, the design of the proposed tower that Clark County approved last week will see it take the form of giant back-to-back guitars featuring “brightly lit strings” and massive floor-to-ceiling glass panes. 

Hard Rock had been repeatedly questioned about their plans for the volcano attraction since taking over the property, which has entertained tourists and visitors to the city for years; unfortunately, earlier this year the company confirmed their plans to eventually demolish it, citing the fact that it does not generate any revenue. 

For the time being, MGM will license the “Mirage” name to Hard Rock until the rebranding project is complete; Hard Rock Las Vegas is expected to open in 2025 or 2026.

Complex on track to be the first high-rise constructed in Henderson

New Luxury Apartment Complex to Be Constructed in Henderson; First High-Rise Building in City

LAS VEGAS, NV – The new high-rise apartment complex is slated to be constructed in Henderson – the first-ever located in the city – with the developers stating they plan to raise the bar in terms of luxury accommodations in the region. 

The complex – dubbed Four Seasons Private Residences Las Vegas, a fully-serviced luxury residential project – is set to break ground and begin construction at the end of 2023. It will take the form of two towers containing 171 homes, as well as six additional private villas to be located off-site in McDonald Highlands.  

Four Seasons, upon completion, will encompass 7,300 interior square feet and 5,000 exterior square feet, and is being built in partnership with Azure Resorts & Hotels and Luxus Developments. 

The developers describe the project as being a “single-family home, but in the sky,” with the units being marketed to families who are seeking to downsize from high-maintenance houses to a high-rise home with a similar layout. 

The project is also pioneering what they refer to as a “lock and leave” concept, wherein residents can leave their keys at the front desk when going away and have management watch over and maintain their home in their absence. 

Four Seasons will boast 24-hour staff and over 90,000 square feet of amenities, including media rooms, gyms, a golf simulator, an indoor jacuzzi, cryotherapy chamber, wine cellars, meeting rooms, indoor pools an on-site world-class chef with food delivery service, and more. Residents will also be able to access their units through private garages – complete with electric vehicle charging stations – or private elevators. 

Such lavish accommodations certainly don’t come cheap: the homes start at $3.5 million, with some of the high-end penthouses costing as much as $45 million and featuring extras such as large terraces and outdoor kitchens.  

50 residences have been sold already, according to the developer, totaling $250 million in sales so far; the project is expected to open in the first quarter of 2026.

Durango Drive

Development of “UnCommons” Mixed-Use Facility Expands, Now Includes Event Pavilion

LAS VEGAS, NV – UnCommons – a 40-acre mixed-used facility currently under development in southwestern Las Vegas – recently announced an expansion of the experimental project with the addition of The Assembly, a 5,000-square-foot conference and event pavilion scheduled to open in September. 

Upon completion, UnCommons – located at Durango Drive and the 215 Beltway in the southwest valley – will essentially be a mini-city within a city, consisting of 500,000 square feet of offices, as well as restaurants, health and fitness studios, relaxation options, and over 830 residential units, in addition to the aforementioned event pavilion. 

The Assembly is being touted as a one-of-a-kind addition to the mixed-use development that can host a variety of event types, including talks, community events, and weddings; the space can even be utilized as a hub for the facility’s office tenants when needed. 

The concept behind the $800 million project is that it will be a space where the various employees working for businesses located there will have numerous solutions to all of their needs – living space, entertainment, exercise, and more – right there at their fingertips. 

The 830 apartment units are spread out amongst 3 towers, and already have 40 residents who have moved in; in addition, six office tenants have also set up operations in their respective spaces, including companies such as Draft Kings and CBRE Group Inc; companies such as Deloitte and Newmark will also be coming in soon. 

On the storefront side, six food and beverage locations have already opened – such as Urth Caffe, Teaspoon, and Amari – and two retail businesses have opened their doors, one being a luxury candle maker and the other a hair salon. 

Las Vegas ‘s intense desert heat has been taken into consideration as far as the UnCommons’ design goes, with all buildings on the grounds built around the concept of providing maximum shade to the maximum amount of outdoor square footage possible, ensuring that tenants and visitors are rarely required to be exposed to direct sunlight for any great period of time. 

The final phase of the UnCommons project – which originally broke ground in 2021 – is slated to begin in early 2024.

Texas Station and Fiesta Rancho

New Mixed-Use Development Combining Retail and Housing Proposed in North Las Vegas

LAS VEGAS, NV – A new mixed-use development comprised of retail shopping and a residential housing complex has been proposed at a 73-acre location in North Las Vegas that had previously the homes to two well-known casinos that have since been shuttered. 

Agora Realty and Management has entered a proposal with the North Las Vegas Planning Commission to re-zone the former sites of the Texas Station and Fiesta Rancho casinos – located at Lake Mead Boulevard and Rancho Drive – from resort-commercial to a residential mixed-use classification, in order to build “a mix of experiential commercial, recreation, hotel, retail, restaurant, and multifamily uses.” 

If the Commission approves the rezoning proposal, Agora plans on constructing what it has dubbed “North Las Vegas Sports Village,” which is slated to include what they refer to as an open-air “Champions Plaza” consisting of 450,000 square-feet of retail shops and restaurants, as well as a “vibrant mix of residential housing options for the community” offering 665 housing units, all of which they say will be constructed in phases. 

Some of the more unusual amenities that Agora is planning on building on the site include an ice skating rink, which is slated to be 100,000 square-feet in size, in addition to a sports field, “outdoor entertainment,” a convenience store, a car wash, a child care center, and a vocational school.  

100,000 square-feet of professional office space is also being planned by the developer as well. 

Agora also intends to replace the former casinos that had previously inhabited the property in some manner by asking the North Las Vegas Planning Commission for permission to acquire a gaming license and to construct a 150-room hotel; at least three beer and wine licenses and three liquor licenses have also been applied for. 

The North Las Vegas Planning Commission will consider Agora’s re-zoning request at its Wednesday, July 12 meeting. If the proposals are approved and construction moves forward, Agora anticipates employing at least 925 people to make the extensive and varied development a reality.

Oakland Athletics

$380 Million in Public Funds Approved by Nevada Legislature for A’s New Las Vegas Stadium

LAS VEGAS, NV – The planned move of the Oakland Athletics to Southern Nevada took one more step to reality as the Nevada state legislature approved on Wednesday the expenditure of up to $380 million in public funds for the construction of the Major League Baseball team’s proposed new stadium on the Las Vegas Strip.

Senate Bill 1 was approved by the Nevada Senate on a vote of 13-8, after which it was sent to the State Assembly, where it also passed on a 25-15 vote. From there, it is slated to the head to the desk of Governor Joe Lombardo where he is expected to sign it into law, given the fact that he has been steadfastly in support of the project since its inception.

Once Lombardo signs the legislation, as much as $380 million in public funds will be earmarked for the A’s new stadium; in addition, the project in its current form could potentially also receive up to $180 million in transferable tax credits.

Tonight, we thank the members of the Nevada State Legislature and their staff for their hard work, due diligence, and attention to detail as we work to bring the Athletics to Las Vegas,” the A’s said in a statement. “We are especially grateful for the legislators’ time and dedication to shepherding this bill through the process. We look forward to Governor Lombardo’s signature as our next step.”

The new home of the Athletics’ will be on a nine-acre plot of land situated on the 35-acre site of the Tropicana, located at Las Vegas Boulevard and Tropicana Avenue. Currently, the plan is to demolish the Tropicana to make way for the A’s stadium and to build a new 1,500-room hotel and casino on the remaining acreage.

The A’s home stadium – the project is expected to cost a total of $1.5 billion – is slated to take the form of a 35,000-seat retractable roof stadium, with the project currently pending the passing of state legislation for public financing. Once the monies are obtained, full development of the ballpark will be in the hands of Bally’s.

Luxury Apartment

Las Vegas Developers Working to Meet Increased Demand for Luxury Apartments

LAS VEGAS, NV – Las Vegas has always been associated with a degree of opulence, and apparently that’s never been truer than it is now as developers have been working overtime to meet the recent increased demand for luxury apartments within the city.

Tim Deters, president of Tru Development, said that the recent boom in demand for luxury rentals is directly connected to the increasing Las Vegas employment market, combined with the relatively low cost of living when compared to neighboring states. These two factors, he said, contribute to people having the extra cash on-hand needed to enjoy the finer things in life.

We’ve had a tremendous amount of new jobs here and affordable living,” Deters said. “So it allows people to spend more money on discretionary areas like their living. Then, we’ve also seen a huge influx of residents coming in from California.”

Tru Development is a Las Vegas-based service that specializes in nearly all aspects of real estate, including retail, commercial, and residential, with Deters noting that local developers are continuously raising the bar in terms of the high-end perks and touches that people expect out of their luxury accommodations.

I believe we developed one of the first of what I would call true luxury projects called Kaktus Life over in the Southern Highlands,” he said. “The amenities, the interior finishes. I think those are the two key areas. We all keep raising the standard. Clubhouses are getting bigger. Pools are getting bigger.”

Currently, the average rent in Las Vegas is $1430 per month, according to the Nevada State Apartment Association; however, a recent report indicated that many residents would be willing to pay that for the right assortment of luxury trappings and perks.

According to Deters, prices for rent jumped approximately 25 percent after the end of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, those prices are slowly starting to come down, which is helping to drive the increased demand for high-end apartments, as people are starting to get more bang for their buck once again.

MSG Sphere

Las Vegas Construction Companies Claim They’re Owed Millions for MSG Sphere Work

LAS VEGAS, NV – Construction companies that have been working on the MSG Sphere in Las Vegas claim the company behind the futuristic entertainment venue – which is still under development – owes them millions of dollars in unpaid labor fees, according to a lawsuit filed with the Eighth Judicial District Court of Nevada.

MSG Las Vegas and Platte River Insurance Company of Nebraska are named as defendants in the lawsuit, which has been filed by plaintiffs comprised of Rider Levett Bucknall LTD and 20 unnamed individuals or business entities.

The plaintiffs allege that they had provided construction services for the MGS Sphere valued at approximately $3 million, and that $2 million of that outstanding balance has yet to be paid to them; eventually, they placed a lien against MSG.

Lawyers representing the plaintiffs blame the lack of payment for their clients on James Dolan, CEO of MSG.

There was supposed to be the world’s longest bar in this project,” the attorneys said to the judge overseeing the case. “And they built it and then he came through and deleted it and wanted to take it out. He increased the project cost. Mr. Dolan’s decision against advice increased the project cost and now he’s blaming us for increasing the project costs.”

A Sphere Entertainment spokesperson said, “This story has no merit.”

When completed, the MSG Sphere will be a 400,000-square-foot, 18,000-seat, 366-foot-tall, 516 foot wide, globe-shaped arena – the largest spherical structure on Earth, according to MSG – located on 63 acres of property located behind the behind the Venetian Resort Hotel Casino on the Las Vegas Strip.

The exterior of the sphere will feature 36 miles of variable intensity LED lighting – the aforementioned exosphere – enabling the structure to allow outside spectators to peer through a transparent façade to watch the concert within; at higher lighting intensities, outside vision will be obscured.

The attendee capacity of the MSG Sphere will be scalable, MSG Entertainment said, ranging from approximately 17,500 seated to 20,000 with a mix of seated and standing. The venue will typically not feature sporting events, but rather cater to musical performances and concerts; however, the occasional boxing or MMA contest could be held there if needed.
