Redevelopment Projects RECENT PROJECTS Downtown Area El Super
The recent closure of the Lucky’s grocery store located in the College Park Shopping Center on Lake Mead Boulevard just east of Bruce Street created an opportunity for a store that could provide food products to local residents. El Super grocery store jumped on the chance and has filled the vacant spot. It opened in July 2010. The new store occupies about 37,000 square-feet and El Super has created about 100 permanent jobs. It created 150 ancillary jobs during construction. This development serves an important role in providing products for the local residents. It has become a popular place for those shoppers who are looking for hard-to-find food items along with those for everyday consumption. Jerry’s Nugget Casino
Jerry’s Nugget is investing substantial amounts of money in exterior improvements to its casino, which is located near the City’s main downtown entryway where Las Vegas Boulevard North converges with Main Street and North 5th Street. The work coincides with the upcoming completion of the City’s North 5th Street widening project. Jerry’s Nugget Casino improvements will include gathering space, upgraded lighting and improved parking facilities. The work will paid for in part by federal grants and matching funds from the City’s Redevelopment Agency through its façade improvement program. North Las Vegas North Redevelopment Area
Cheyenne Pointe – The Cheyenne Pointe shopping center, near the intersection of Cheyenne Avenue and Civic Center Drive, is the result of the Redevelopment Agency’s partnership with Montecito Companies. The developer invested $20 million and the agency invested $450,000 to create the shopping center, anchored by Mariana’s grocery store. Other tenants include Panda Express, CiCi’s Pizza and others. Today, the shopping center boasts a constant stream of customers, including families from nearby residential neighborhoods. It also has become a popular lunch venue for City employees, whose offices at City Hall on Civic Center Drive are just a few blocks away. UPCOMING PROJECTS Downtown Area Las Flores Shopping Center – The Montecito Commercial Company, in partnership with Serafin, is developing Las Flores Shopping Center, a 350,000 square-foot commercial and retail shopping center with a Hispanic theme. Located on Las Vegas Boulevard North, across from the new City Hall and Civic Plaza, it will be in the heart of the downtown redevelopment area known as Boulevard North. Construction of this $120 million project will commence as soon as economic conditions improve. |
