S

pring is upon us. In most of the country, this means a time of thawing, an awakening from slumber, or an incredible display of new life and greenery. Here in the desert city of Las Vegas, it means business is booming, the tourists are coming, and for those of us lucky enough call Las Vegas home, it’s the time of year where not only playing, but working outdoors, is a blessing. This time of year in Las Vegas is incredible.

In the months ahead, we will see projects sprout up all over the valley. April brings us the groundbreaking of the much-anticipated 351,000-square-foot IKEA off Sunset Road and Durango Drive, May will plant Genting Berhad’s $4 billion Resort’s World Las Vegas on the north end of the Strip, while the MGM Resorts International-AEG Arena takes shape toward the south.

With new homes climbing up the mountain ridges and retail and restaurants on the rise, the business of building is in full swing and it looks to be growing yet again.

Construction Las Vegas was created for the industry that develops, designs, and constructs everything that makes our city great. In the following pages, we showcase a wide array of projects from some of the most talented of our locally based companies. For example, we’ll display some amazing photographs from Nutone Construction who show us their contribution to the Linq; Tutor Perini shares their most

recent buildout to the McCarran International Airport, and we get a sample of the luxury retail portfolio of PWI Construction (who’s work we used for our cover in this issue).

We have also included our association partners, making Construction Las Vegas your destination for all of your individual association updates in one place.

This publication, like many of you, can do a number of jobs.

I encourage anyone involved in the construction, contracting, design and development of our city who would like to showcase a project, or wants to reach this industry to help build their own business to contact us. We would love to offer you this platform.

Thank you for reading.

Tiffany. Chanel. Gucci. High-end retailers in Southern Nevada wouldn’t have a hook to hang their diamond-crusted keychains from if it weren’t for the multifaceted construction industry.

As Las Vegas rebuilds after the lingering recession, retailers and shoppers are coming back. According to a report in VEGAS INC, investors bought 48 shopping centers last year for a combined $485.7 million, up from $13.3 million in 2010.

It takes teams of contractors and subcontractors to bring the brightest polish to the high-end retail industry. Once that’s done, many top names in the industry are able to extend their reach across the globe thanks to the groundbreaking work they accomplish here.

Las Vegas is one of the world’s shiniest cities, and we have the construction industry to thank for keeping it gleaming.

tutor perini building corp. mccarran international AIRPORT Tutor Perini Building Corp.’s first construction project at McCarran International Airport was more than 32 years ago. Since then, the company has built some of the airport’s most significant expansion projects, including four major terminals: Terminal 3 (T3), Terminal D (phase 1), the International Terminal, and the Central Terminal. Tutor Perini’s most recent project was McCarran’s newest terminal, T3, Nevada’s largest public works job built to date.

T3’s contemporary design and advanced technology position it as a leader in aviation innovation. T3 has 14 aircraft gates, seven domestic and seven direct international and includes some the airline industry’s latest technologies. Each new gate has self-boarding equipment; with the simple scan of a pre-printed boarding pass or mobile device, verified passengers can immediately board their flight without the need of an airline attendant. The terminal has eight miles of baggage conveyors, 15,538 square-feet of skylight and enough cubic yards of concrete to pave a 4-foot wide by 4-inch thick sidewalk stretching from Las Vegas to Oklahoma City.

Constructing T3 was a massive project that required a team effort from hundreds of firms. To highlight T3’s complexity, construction involved 50,000 building department inspections and over 100 companies. Terminal 3 spans 1.9 million square feet. Lengthwise it can fit six football fields, including the end zones on the south side of Level 2.

T3 is the future of aviation.

The penta Building group Sls Las vegas The PENTA Building Group’s recent completion of the SLS Hotel and Casino is part of the North Strip resurgence occurring in Vegas.

Bringing new life within the completely renovated three-tower skeleton of the former Sahara, PENTA’s team constructed over 1,600 stylish new accommodations ranging from 350 square foot rooms to unique 3,000-square-foot opulent penthouse suites. Of the three towers — World Tower, Story’s Tower, and Lux Tower — the World Tower stands as the tallest at 28 stories. It features 27 luxury suites, including a three-bay suite designed by Lenny Kravitz.

The 2.1 million-square-foot renovation included the 60,000-square-foot casino, featuring table games, slot machines, and race and sports book.

The space also provides 12,000 square feet of high-end retail space, including the unique-to-Las Vegas Fred Segal shops.

SLS’s venues include three nightclubs, a 35,000-square-foot full-service spa, 40,000 square feet of meeting and convention space, 52,000 square feet of food and beverage venues, and a one-acre outdoor pool.

Beginning with its preconstruction services and continuing through project closeout, PENTA’s team helped to convert this facility built over the course of five decades into a classy, modern, on-Strip destination.

LEO A DALY THE CROMWELL, DRAI’S, VDARA, LIED LIBRARY AT UNLV & MORE Leo A Daly has designed some of the most recognizable and significant properties in Las Vegas. Whether you know it or not, you’ve probably boarded a plane, placed a bet, dined, danced, or studied in a space designed by the international architecture, engineering, planning and design firm.

Leo A Daly got its start in Las Vegas in the 1960s as casino magnate Jackie Gaughan’s go-to architect. A successful renovation of the El Cortez led to a design commission for the Barbary Coast, and work on every Coast property after it.

For the last 50 years, Leo A Daly has been immersed in the planning, design and development of Las Vegas. Recent projects include executive architecture on Vdara, design of South Point Bowling Plaza, and the transformation of the Barbary Coast into the Cromwell.

Being a part of the Las Vegas gaming industry has allowed Leo A Daly to support the growth of gaming worldwide. They are the architect-of-record for the Wynn Palace Cotai Resort High-Rise Hotel in Macau, currently under construction, with completion expected in 2016.

Beyond gaming and hospitality, Leo A Daly is helping shape the future of Las Vegas through important aviation and education projects. The 26-gate, 1.3 million-square-foot Satellite D, Phase 1, at McCarran International Airport boosted the city’s tourism industry, and the Lied Library at UNLV helped define the library of the 21st Century.

This year marks Leo A Daly’s 100th year in business, and 50th year working in Las Vegas. As much as ever, a philosophy of “design excellence” drives Leo A Daly to create exceptional spaces that enhance the human experience and the environment.

Leo A Daly’s gaming and hospitality leader is Mike Larson, AIA, NCARB, MBA. Based in the firm’s Las Vegas office, he can be reached at 702-369-3247 or MRLarson@leoadaly.com.

CM Builders chipotle Mexican grill The first Chipotle Mexican Grill on the Strip across from CityCenter is the latest tenant improvement by CMBuilders, who is currently constructing a second Chipotle location at the Venetian.

Construction challenges required teamwork to run 200 lineal feet of CaptiveAire grease duct for the cook-hood system, including a ductwork sprinkler system. The project included an above-ground grease interceptor as well as other logistical challenges for the restaurant space.

CMBuilders Founder Curt McClincy said, “Our team excels at the complications that many hotel-casino restaurant projects require of a general contractor. We enjoy participating in our clients’ success as a team player and pride ourselves on building longterm relationships. Our staff is equipped with decades of experience and a proven track record of success.

Our extensive experience allows us to ‘Build Your Vision to Reality’ and complete your projects on time and within a cost-effective manner.

We look forward to meeting and partnering with you to explore projects we can assist you with.”

ASSOCIATED BUILDERS AND CONTRACTORS OF NEVADA The Associated Builders and Contractors Association is proud to be a judge and supplier for the Teamworks portion of SkillsUSA. The SkillsUSA Championships are the showcase for the best career and technical students in the nation.

Contests begin locally and continue through the state and national levels.

This is a multimillion dollar event that occupies a space equivalent to 16 football fields. In 2014, there were nearly 6,000 contestants in 98 separate events. Nearly 1,500 judges and contest organizers from labor and management make the national event possible.

The philosophy of the championships is to reward students for excellence, to involve industry in directly evaluating student performance and to keep training relevant to employers’ needs.

••• President Theodore Roosevelt once said, “Every man owes a part of his time and money to the business or industry in which he is engaged. No man has a moral right to withhold his support from an organization that is striving to improve conditions within his sphere.”

This notion, in part, is what drives ABC of Nevada and its members.

ABC Nevada is the state chapter of a national construction trade association dedicated to the preservation of free enterprise and open and fair competition within the construction industry. ABC is a member-driven

CONSTRUCTION LAS VEGAS

58

56-72_CLV_Associations.indd 58

organization committed to the betterment of the industry in which its members make a living.

ABC is sometimes identified as an organization that represents the 85 percent of the construction industry that works “non-union, also called open or merit shop.” The association is not offended by that designation because it is essentially true.

However, it is not the position of ABC that only non-union contractors should be used on construction projects to the exclusion of union companies. Our philosophy holds that both merit contractors and union firms should work side-by-side, free of coercion or outside interference to provide on-time, on-budget construction with safety, quality and cost effectiveness as its goal.

Currently membership services focus on government affairs, education programs, safety programs and member recognition.

ABC Nevada is proud of the productive work its members have accomplished through the years to advance the interests of those who earn their living in the construction industry.

The past few years have easily been the most difficult in the history of the construction industry.

However, the resilience and “can do” attitude of ABC members guarantees that in every aspect, the best is yet to come for Nevada’s construction industry and the great men and women who have chosen construction as their career.

ASSOCIATED GENERAL CONTRACTORS & NEVADA CONTRACTORS ASSOCIATION The AGC Las Vegas Chapter and Nevada Contractors Association hosted a Southern Nevada Legislative Day at the Capitol in Carson City on Feb. 18. They two trade groups had displays on community projects, educational outreaches, facts on Southern Nevada’s construction industry, and success stories. Association leaders met more than 100 legislators and discussed the work the construction industry does in Clark County. The lunch and show-and-tell took place from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Later, association leaders met with Lt. Gov. Mark Hutchison and Gov. Brian Sandoval.

The AGC, NCA contingent additionally had an opportunity to participate in a floor vote during the assembly session.

ABOUT US In 2011, the Las Vegas Chapter of the Associated General Contractors (AGC) reached a landmark agreement with the Nevada Contractors Association (NCA) that created unprecedented industry unification, strength and leadership. While the

two associations still maintain their individual identities and branding, they share staff, finances, leadership and resources. The trade groups also have consolidated political lobbying efforts, including financial contribution and candidate endorsements.

“The combined group creates a business synergy that cuts the cost and eliminates redundancy, while closely aligning the industry,” says Sean Stewart, who serves as executive vice president for both groups.

“It benefits our members by providing services that are either too costly or time consuming to manage individually.”

The consolidated group represents over 500 union and nonunion general contractors, subcontractors, suppliers and affiliated firms. The newly aligned nonprofit professional associations are headquartered at 150 N. Durango Drive, Suite 100, Las Vegas.

“AGC and NCA together represent an elite group of construction industry movers and shakers,” Stewart says. “It’s your single source for everything construction: one industry, one voice.”

COMMERCIAL ALLIANCE LAS VEGAS The Commercial Alliance Las Vegas is the commercial real estate division of the Greater Las Vegas Association of Realtors. It organizes and empowers the industry in Southern Nevada through education, networking, promoting professionalism and shaping public policy.

IMPROVING THE COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE MARKET A report released by Xceligent and the Commercial Alliance Las Vegas (CALV) shows continued improvement in the commercial real estate market in Southern Nevada, though some parts of the market are recovering from the Great Recession faster than others.

“This report from CALV and Xceligent shows that most sectors of our market are faring better than in past years,” said CALV President Bobbi Miracle, a local commercial real estate broker. “At the same time, our local office market and some submarkets and product types are still lagging behind more successful sectors, such as industrial.”

Officials from Xceligent, a provider of commercial real estate information locally and nationally, said the company is working with CALV to produce quarterly reports on market trends and conditions in the office, industrial and retail markets in

Southern Nevada. The report covers activity through the end of 2014.

“Xceligent is extremely pleased to have the support and collaboration of CALV and Las Vegas’ toptier commercial real estate professionals in the preparation of these quarterly market reports,” said Steve Golin, Western sales vice president for Xceligent. “The data collected in these reports will help market leaders in Las Vegas and around the country accurately gauge the trends and strength of the industry overall, quarter by quarter” Miracle, whose professional designations include being a Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM) and a member of the Society of Industrial and Office Realtors (SIOR), was one of 27 leading local commercial real estate brokers who served on advisory boards that helped verify and produce reports on the office, industrial and retail markets in Southern Nevada.

“We look forward to producing and distributing similar reports each quarter to inform CALV members and others in our industry about what’s happening in the local commercial real estate market,” Miracle said. “We also want to thank all the brokers and others who volunteered their time and expertise to serve on the advisory panels that helped us create these reports.”

SOUTHERN NEVADA CCIM IN THE COMMUNITY The Southern Nevada community is an important partner for CCIM and, as such, the organization participates in several community programs including Spread the Word and Three Square. This past December, Southern Nevada CCIM donated $500 to Spread the Word Nevada, a nonprofit dedicated to advancing early childhood literacy by placing books into the hands and homes of children within Southern Nevada’s at-risk, low-income communities.

The chapter has a long history supporting John S. Park Elementary School. At our annual holiday lunch in December the chapter donated $6,000 to John S. Park.

Proceeds are raised from our charity auction held at our annual Wine Soiree as well as from our annual charity Poker Tournament.

For the past few years the chapter has partnered with Three Square to help provide assistance to Southern Nevada’s only food bank. The chapter helps box food for distribution and recently provided Three Square with a donation of $1,500.

WHAT IS A CCIM? A CCIM (Certified Commercial Investment Member) is a recognized expert in the commercial and investment real estate industry.

The CCIM lapel pin is earned after successfully completing a designation process that ensures CCIMs are proficient not only in theory, but also in practice. This elite corps of CCIMs includes brokers, leasing professionals, investment counselors, asset managers, appraisers, corporate real estate executives, property managers, developers, institutional investors, commercial lenders, attorneys, bankers, and other allied professionals.

A CCIM is part of a global commercial real estate network with members across North America and more than 30 countries. This professional network has enabled CCIM members to close thousands of transactions annually, representing more than $200 billion in value.

Southern Nevada CCIM offers several scholarships annually to individuals pushing to obtain the coveted designation. The chapter hosted CI 101 in March and is hosting CI 102 in December.

GREATER LAS VEGAS ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS Most people don’t think about the Federal Housing Administration as often as Realtors do, but when you ask someone over 30 how they bought their first home, most will smile and say, “I got an FHA loan.”

Since FHA is just a happy memory for many, it’s understandable the agency’s new fee reduction was only modestly celebrated when it went into effect this year. I can tell you though, for hundreds of thousands of aspiring U.S. homeowners who have been priced out of the housing market, the policy shift is a lifechanging opportunity.

There is a vocal misguided minority who will argue this price reduction will turn back the clock to the days when underqualified buyers received loans they could never repay. This couldn’t be further from the truth. FHA is not lowering its underwriting standards or luring irresponsible borrowers into homeownership, instead it is enabling qualified buyers to safely enter the market without exposing taxpayers to unnecessary risks.

The new policy lowers the cost of FHA’s mortgage insurance premiums by 50 basis points, which translates into an average savings of $900 a year for future homeowners and current borrowers who refinance.

When private investors retreated from the mortgage sector in the wake of the worst housing crisis since the Great Depression, FHA increased its insurance activity to keep

money flowing into the market.

Without the FHA, our ongoing economic recovery in Southern Nevada would be taking even longer.

FHA began raising its mortgage insurance premiums in 2011 to counter the expected losses that would come from the increased activity. By 2014, the fees were up by 145 percent, an amount overpriced by four times the anticipated risk to FHA’s funds. It was clear the pendulum had swung too far by 2013, when nearly 400,000 creditworthy borrowers were priced out of the housing market because of high FHA premiums.

Economists at the National Association of Realtors estimate that by lowering the annual premiums by 50 basis points, from 1.35 percent to .85 percent, FHA will price-in an additional 1.6 million to 2.1 million U.S. renters, along with many trade-up buyers. This could result in 90,000 to 140,000 additional annual U.S. home purchases.

More affordable FHA loans will also have a positive impact on our all-important and still-too-scarce first-time buyers, who have been entering the market at a lower rate than normal in recent years.

FHA’s fee reduction is financially sound, socially responsible and good public policy. The lower prices will enable more qualified borrowers to enter the market, and a new generation of homeowners to say, “I bought my first house with an FHA loan.”

— Keith Lynam, 2015 president of the GLVAR. Lyman has been a local Realtor for 11 years.

For more than 55 years, NAWIC has helped women take advantage of the opportunities in construction.

Whether you want to embark on a new career, establish a networking base, be a mentor, make a difference in your community, continue your education or invest in great friendships, NAWIC offers a variety of opportunities — large and small. Savvy NAWIC members, business owners and managers can expect value from their investment in NAWIC. We at NAWIC pride ourselves on being a vital part of the community.

For instance, every year NAWIC teams up with Opportunity Village for one of our community outreach projects. We just renovated the Cookie Shack, providing shelves to display gingerbread houses and a counter and service windows to sell and serve cookies and hot chocolate to patrons of the Magical Forest.

We have many annual events such as “Block Kids,” when we help elementary students build a project out of Legos and other materials — their creativity is just amazing!

We also hold a “Fix It Herself Program” with the Southern Nevada Girls Scout Council. We offer the scouts a NAWIC badge, and they have the chance to earn a woodworking or gardening badge.

With our annual CAD Drawing Contest, high school students are awarded scholarship money and the chance to move on to the regional and national level. Last year’s winner made us very proud by winning all three levels.

We participate in Construction Career Day every year, where we educate young ladies about all the available career paths in the construction industry and offer a mentoring program and access to scholarship funds — the NAWIC Las Vegas Chapter recently donated $1,000 to the local chapter of the Associated General Contractors Association’s (AGC) Scholarship fund.

We host a monthly networking dinner featuring speakers from the construction industry. Dinner sponsorships are still available for 2015.

NEVADA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS The Nevada Association of Realtors represents the more than 14,000 Realtors in the state.

NVAR provides a wide range of services to its members, including operating a legal information hotline for Realtors. The association also holds regular meetings for its board of directors and members and supports events and programs related to real estate, the housing market and related issues.

As part of its mission, NVAR works with state and local government leaders to advocate for the interests of its members, to provide useful information, to help shape public policy and to protect private property rights.

For example, NVAR recently supported efforts by Nevada homebuilders, contractors and others to reform the state’s construction defect laws. NVAR supported AB 125, a bill that was approved by the Legislature in February and sent to Gov. Brian Sandoval for his signature.

“We’re pleased to see the passage of AB 125,” said NVAR President Kevin Sigstad. “This bill will create much-needed balance in the system

for repair of construction defects, and expedite the growth and recovery of an area of the housing market that has been lagging – construction of new townhome and low-rise condominiums. This type of construction is particularly important for first-time and entry-level homebuyers, and vital for the recovery of our local housing market. Construction of this type of attached housing has been a frequent target of often-frivolous construction defect litigation.

AB 125 will give homeowners the right to address and repair perceived construction defects and avoid costly litigation whenever possible.”

As another example, NVAR played a key role in a statewide coalition of leading businesses, citizens, community and industry organizations that helped defeat Question 3 in the Nov. 4 general election in Nevada because the association and its members believe the so-called margin tax the ballot question would have created would have been detrimental to Nevada.

NVAR is committed to protecting, promoting and preserving our communities.
