Q&A with brian fike

‘It’s a good time to sell,’ but for buyers, value ‘is still out there if you turn over all the rocks’ Brian Fike is vice president of investment sales at Colliers International, a global commercial and residential real estate services firm. In October, he shifted his focus from the vacant land market to investment sales, which he calls the “true essence of commercial real estate.”

What is the best business advice you’ve received?

Work half-days: 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Also, consistency and persistency.

Randy Black told me that when I started in the business in 1986.

Where do you see the valley’s commercial real estate industry headed in 2016?

Las Vegas always will be a safe bet for investment real estate. I think interest rates are pinned down right now, and we will see them tick up this year. Buyers with disciplined investment criteria will do well; speculators, on the other hand, will have a tougher way to go, unless they really buy at a great value.

What’s your best advice for buyers?

Shop value; it’s still out there if you turn over all the rocks.

What’s your best advice for sellers?

Don’t hold out for the last dollar.

The run-up of values in the early millennium contaminated sellers’ opinion of value for their assets. If they didn’t sell at that time, they still refer to the “I coulda, shoulda” phraseology of a time that was and isn’t coming back anytime soon, especially Brian Fike’s advice to people who want to sell land or commercial property: in the land market. Simply put, they “Don’t hold out for the last dollar.” (l.e. baskow/staff) missed the boat, and their property other industries and international minutes.

developed that locals would embrace and use, as opposed to driving everywhere. There are so many cars here, and unless an alternative is offered to get to and fro, it will only get worse.

What are you reading?

“The Way of the SEAL,” by former U.S. Navy SEAL Mark Divine.

What do you do after work?

Usually, I go home and hang out with my wife, Kelli, and my 9-yearold little girl, Gabbi. You know, homework and stuff.

Describe your management style.

I used to micromanage and want to do everything myself. There were a few contributing factors to that: One was insecurity, and the other was not trusting in others’ ability. Today, I’m more apt to delegate and leverage my resources to maximize time. I work at a much more productive and efficient mode when practicing the latter.

What is your dream job, outside of your current field?

Playing the guitar and performing in a fine dining establishment at a beautiful ski resort. Ski all day and play music all night.

Whom do you admire and why?

My mother and father. To observe them go through the financial wipeout my father endured, then pick up the pieces, re-engineer their lives and be willing to live within their means, and most importantly be happy, is absolutely admirable. They basically have lived two lives in one lifetime.

They’re both tremendously impressive, and I applaud them for who they are and what they continue to be.

What is your biggest pet peeve?

People and their hand-held devices, especially if they’ve invited you to lunch or dinner and are on it as opposed to being present with you.

It’s possibly one of the most self-centered, rude acts a person can do in the presence of company.

What is your business philosophy?

Provide great service, find our clients the perfect fit and offer a one-of-a-kind, fashionable product. These elements are what we believe build lifetime customers.

What is the hardest part about doing business in Las Vegas?

Las Vegas is a shopper’s paradise, but the transactional experience is generally just that — transactional. The essence of our business, especially when the client is interested in our more historic pieces, is very detailed, as our mission is to take the time to find our clients the perfect piece and fit for their desired look.

Tell us about your latest collection.

Our historic pieces were manufactured from gold-filled and cellulose acetate and are some of the most exclusive eyeglasses and sunglasses in the world. Marya and I wanted to use our knowledge of historic eyewear’s custom fit and feel to create a collection made from the contemporary world’s finest materials but at a more affordable price point than our historic frames. Cuthbert is my dad’s first

name, and Chen is Marya’s mother’s maiden name. The collaboration is a marriage of craft and style.

You’ve been in business for more than two decades. To what do you owe your company’s longevity?

We have nurtured exclusive dealerships in every major city in the world that not only sell our collections but service our historic collections, as well.

Our glasses are not disposable fashion pieces but lifetime frames. At the end of the day, it is more about the service and less about the sale. Customers always will return to places where they experienced great service.

Which pair of your glasses has the most interesting story?

There are many pieces, including JFK’s sunglasses, MacArthur’s WWII Ray-Bans or Bruce Lee’s ’70s shades, but the most iconic are the fashion brand frames from the 1970s by Dior and Diane Von Furstenberg, and the 1960s American Optical jet-age pilot frame, which were manufactured for the U.S. military out of premium 12K goldfilled wire. These early-brand frames changed eyewear forever, and the pilot frame is the only to be worn on the moon as well as featured in the Smithsonian.

What is the best part about doing business in Las Vegas?

Las Vegas is a city that never rests. People are curious and open to discovery experiences. From a retail perspective, they aren’t afraid to try something on just to see how it looks.

Park Highlands would be impressive comeback tale By eli segall Staff Writer

Developer Gregg Wolin has been in the real estate business for 25 years, but few projects have tested his humanity and ethical fiber as much as Park Highlands in North Las Vegas, he said.

The sprawling development, long seen as an economic boon to the city, has gone bankrupt twice and there are still no homes. After the economy tanked, the land was chopped up among numerous buyers, all of whom had veto powers over project plans.

Park Highlands has been in the works for almost a decade and was estimated to cost more than $3 billion. But delays piled up because of the recession and the rotating cast of investors pursuing different agendas, according to people involved in the project. It’s been so convoluted that Wolin wants to write a book about it and figures it’d make a great film.

“I may make more money on the Park Highlands has gone bankrupt twice before a single house has been built. movie rights than actually developing The owners have split the project in half, with one group resuming work on its the property,” Wolin said. portion.

North Las Vegas, which saw its population soar 65 percent from 2000 to 2005, to about 190,000. The real estate market was white-hot, and Park Highlands’ potential seemed limitless.

North Las Vegas officials wanted it to have a more affluent bent than the neighboring Aliante community, and the project was led by Goett, who developed the Southern Highlands community in the south valley and had a great track record, said lobbyist Bob Gronauer, who’s been involved with Park Highlands since the beginning.

“Everything was very positive,” he said.

There was “always the possibility, however remote, that the raw land will not be developed into finished lots,” analysts with bond-ratings firm Moody’s Investors Service said in a report in early 2006. But, they added, it seemed that “each additional casino or hotel that is built ... tends to support a growing housing market.”

Moreover, Goett’s group paid a discount compared with previous federal auctions, which should help “provide a bit of added cushion in case the housing market in Las Vegas were to weaken unexpectedly,” the analysts wrote.

When the bubble burst, Southern Nevada was one of the hardest-hit areas of the country, and few cities locally were pummeled as hard as North Las Vegas, which declared a fiscal municipal emergency.

By early 2012, 31 percent of U.S. homeowners with mortgages were underwater, meaning their debt outweighed their home value. In North Las Vegas, roughly 81 percent were underwater, according to Zillow.

By early this year, about 31 percent of North Las Vegas homes were upside-down, double the national average. nnn Plans call for the Villages to have at least 8,600 homes, Gavan said.

That would include higher-end, semicustom or custom homes, and the project site is near its new namesake, the Tule Springs Fossil Beds National Monument.

It’s also the city’s largest residential project in the pipeline, Gavan said.

In 2014, when developers were proposing to split Park Highlands, Mayor John Lee said they were “showing America ... that we’re open for business again.”

It was like a partnership with no operating agreement, or a company with no bylaws — just “a bunch of shareholders with no management,” Wolin said.

Last year, however, the investors received City Council approval to split the project into two parts. Crescent Bay controls 90 percent of the Villages at Tule Springs, but Park Highlands West is more fractured.

SunCal owns about 200 of the 600

acres, and four other groups control the rest, SunCal’s Aguirre said.

During the recession, Crescent Bay wanted to buy property here when others were shying away, and even though North Las Vegas was viewed as being in terrible shape, it didn’t mean the city would never recover, Crescent Bay co-founder Geoff Beer said.

“That was our belief when we bought the land,” he said.

Wolin, for one, isn’t convinced that their heavily discounted deal was as much of a steal as he initially thought.

“It will be an OK deal in the end,” he said.

The project has moved slowly, but it’s alive, and the Villages has a new development agreement with the city, a key, early step for any major project.

“Getting to where we are today,” Gronauer said, “is just a miracle.”

“I trust City National the same way parents trust us.”

Park Highlands’ previous plans called for 15,750 homes, as well as schools, fire and police stations, a library and 130 acres of parks and trails. Construction began in 2007, but when the market tanked, so did master-planned communities.

Ritter, for instance, lost his 1,700acre site to foreclosure in 2008 without having built a thing. Goett, backed by New York investment firms, later acquired the property from lenders and now is developing it as Skye Canyon.

Local officials didn’t give up hope for Park Highlands.

“North Las Vegas is transitioning from a blue-collar, high-crime perception to more of a fast-paced professional-quality-development type of community,” then-City Manager Gregory Rose said in 2008. “I believe Park Highlands helps this transition as a community.”

Goett, however, filed bankruptcy protection for the project in 2009. Hillwood Communities in Dallas later acquired the project’s holding company, and then in 2011, Park Highlands went bankrupt again.

The real estate industry was on life support, and property in Park Highlands sold for next to nothing. Original investors lost “hundreds of millions of dollars,” said former North Las Vegas Mayor Mike Montandon, who acquired some 70 acres in Park Highlands a few years ago with a partner.

“It went down pretty hard on them,” said Montandon, a real estate industry veteran.

Wolin’s Crescent Bay, backed by Newport Beach, Calif., investment firm KBS, bought 1,375 acres — half the site — at a bankruptcy auction for $21 million, in what lobbyist Gronauer said was a daylong bidding war with Hillwood.

That company is part of a lengthy list of landowners that have come and gone or still hold stakes. They include Las Vegas homebuilder Larry Canarelli, founder of American West Homes; New York investment firm Angelo, Gordon & Co.; Irvine, Calif.-based builder Standard Pacific Homes; Goett’s Olympia; SunCal; Montandon and former business partner Jim Zeiter, whose property has since been carved out of the project borders; and Texas-based homebuilder D.R. Horton.

Asked whether it’s tough keeping track of everyone, Gronauer laughed.

“Yeah, it is,” he said.

By nature, the project wasn’t going to be easy — the site is sliced into chunks by the Beltway, existing neighborhoods and separately owned land. And despite the large group of investors, no one was appointed after the bankruptcies to oversee everything, and anyone could block plans for the project.

Unions certified to represent workers at Trump International By j.d. morris Staff Writer

A federal labor official has certified the Culinary and Bartenders unions as the legal collective bargaining representatives at the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, per a recent decision that the hotel was expected to challenge.

The Culinary revealed in a statement that a regional director of the National Labor Relations Board rejected objections from the hotel to a December election in which a majority of eligible hotel employees voted for union representation.

In the decision dated March 21, the regional director affirmed previous rulings from a hearing officer, which the decision said were “free from prejudicial error.”

“I have considered the evidence and the arguments presented by the parties and … I agree with the hearing officer that all of the employer’s objections should be overruled,” Regional Director Cornele Overstreet

wrote in the decision.

Culinary Workers Local 226 and Bartenders Local 165, both affiliates of the national Unite Here union, have been trying to organize workers at the off-Strip Trump hotel since 2014.

Their efforts panned out in a twoday election in early December, when 238 voters cast ballots in favor of union representation and 209 cast ballots against it, according to the regional director’s decision. In total, 523 voters were eligible.

But the Trump International has pushed back on the results of the election, arguing that it wasn’t a fair process.

For example, Jill Martin, assistant general counsel for the Trump Organization, said in an emailed statement after the hearing officer’s decision that it had “erroneously disregarded the severe misconduct undertaken by union agents, which clearly impacted an incredibly close organization.”

Martin said the Trump Organization

would continue its efforts to “ensure a fair election for our valued associates, many of whom vigorously oppose union representation.”

The Culinary said the hotel had indicated it would ask the labor board in Washington, D.C., to review Overstreet’s decision.

Overstreet’s 10-page decision details a list of objections from Trump Ruffin Commercial LLC, the entity identified as the employer in the case, and agrees with the hearing officer’s previous recommendations to overrule them. Treasure Island owner Phil Ruffin and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump are coowners of the Trump International.

Among the many objections overruled by Overstreet were claims of “objectionable misconduct” from a union election observer and electioneering from committee leaders and union supporters, according to the decision.

Jeffrey Wise, a food server at the Trump International, said in the Culi-

nary’s statement that those who voted for union representation wanted to negotiate a fair contract with Trump.

“We voted and won. Now, it’s time for him to listen to us, the voters, and finally do the right thing by making a deal with his employees,” Wise said in the statement.

Similarly, Geoconda ArguelloKline, the Culinary’s secretary-treasurer, repeated the union’s call for Trump to “make America great again” by “start(ing) right here in Las Vegas at his hotel.”

Separately, the Trump International also faces a hearing over a complaint that alleges the hotel promised job opportunities to workers who ditched their union support, among other claims. Martin has called the allegations in that complaint “completely without merit.”

The hearing on that matter was supposed to be held April 12, but counsel for the labor board’s general counsel has filed a motion to postpone it until May or June.

It’s a no brainer.

Commercial construction in ‘a regrowth mode’ talk about where his company and the construction industry have been, where they are going and what it means for the Las Vegas Valley.

Pirch, a home products retailer that is rated America’s 25th-most promising company; and Mandarin Oriental at CityCenter.

How did your company get its start?

Burke Construction Group began in 1984 when my brother, Tim Burke, left the local office of Sletten Construction to start the company. We originally focused on the private and federal sectors, with early projects at the Nevada Test Site and Nellis Air Force Base. With very little capital, we were fortunate to have clients who believed in us and helped us through those formative years.

Describe a couple of those projects.

Pirch enlisted the services of Burke Construction Group to build headquarters, distribution centers and several retail locations across the United States. Each project ranged from 25,000 to 52,000 square feet.

The retail locations feature 18 kitchen vignettes, a live demonstration kitchen for guest chef appearances, a back-of-house support kitchen that produces nearly 1,000 meals daily and a fully active outdoor kitchen featuring a pizza oven, grill tops, beer refrigeration and more. Pirch corporate headquarters, the largest project, includes a full-service kitchen for employees, along with the customary Bliss Café.

Built on 53 acres, the 300,000-square-foot, seven-building Cashman industrial complex received multiple 2009 NAIOP Spotlight Awards. All required infrastructure was completed, as well as roads and parking areas on the site.

The campus houses the company headquarters, administrative offices, equipment rental, equipment repair, training facilities, sales operations and warehousing. It was built using proven LEED strategies and cuttingedge construction techniques, and remains the largest office/industrial gold-certified project in Nevada.

What have been the biggest challenges you’ve faced?

Leading our company through the economic downturn and then back out to regrowth. Much should be attributed to our staff’s mentality and tenacity in that, as we saw the local market go into a depression-like state, we took a “burn the ships” mentality. There was only one direction we could take, and that was forward. Forward, as we defined it, was continued geographic diversification and market diversification aided in part by the shale oil-and-gas boom in North Dakota and by an emerging market in experiential retail.

What’s on the horizon?

For us, it is all about regrowth in our core and new markets.
