What’s going on with the mall? Some say enclosed shopping malls are relics of a bygone era, but owners are invested in bringing them back By Eli Segall | STAFF WRITER
With blue-lit booths, nightclub-style music, a sleek bar and an hourlong wait for a table, the weeks-old Gen Korean BBQ House seems like it belongs in a flashy casino on the Strip. Music plays outside, and the restaurant is steps from a steakhouse with a $55, 16-ounce rib eye and a new Italian eatery. ¶ The dining spots are nowhere near the resort corridor, though: They’re in suburban Henderson’s Galleria at Sunset mall, part of a big-money effort by shopping centers to boost business and, in many cases, stay alive. ¶ “You can’t just have five department stores and 140 retail stores anymore and expect to dominate the market,” said Heather FitzGerald, marketing director for Galleria. mall s, Continu e d on pag e 15

Q&A with charles van geel
Industry rebounding, but let’s not go overboard Charles Van Geel, vice president of leasing and sales at American Nevada Company, is a well-known problem solver in a complex industry. His experience negotiating lease and sales transactions, contributing ideas and insights for development, and analyzing the real estate landscape made him a strong candidate for president of the Southern Nevada chapter of NAIOP, a commercial real estate development association. He was voted into the position by his peers and is serving this year. What is the most challenging part of your job? The awareness that every tenant, lawyer, lender, architect, general contractor, etc., conducts business differently and every transaction is negotiated by different personalities with different goals and objectives. Understandably, the most challenging part of my job is to maintain honest, effective communication while preserving my strategy to achieve my client’s goals. What’s the status of commercial real estate in the valley these days? Our industrial developers are touting that industrial real estate in Southern Nevada is well into the Charles Van Geel, president of NAIOP, says warehousing stands out as the stronrecovery mode, and that trend will gest prospect for investment and development in 2015.

We canned and raised cows, pigs and chickens. And I’ve never ridden a horse. Anything else you want to tell us? Commercial real estate development is the most boom-or-bust industry in our economy. Therefore, where we are in the cycle must drive our strategies. Although we are excited to see the industrial development enter an expansion phase, we must be careful not to overbuild. Overbuilding will always hurt the industry, it’s just a question of when.

High-end office complex could rise downtown By eli segall Staff Writer
Across the street from Las Vegas City Hall, near Goodfellas Bail Bonds (“Free ride home, free T-shirt, free hug”) and Desert Manor apartments (“No guns, knives or weapons allowed on premises”), a cluster of pricey, high-quality office buildings might rise from the ground. Forest City Enterprises has drawn up plans to develop three office buildings on what are now fencedoff lots between City Hall and a Regional Transportation Commission transit center.

There wasn’t as much office development downtown the past few decades as there was in the rest of the valley, but if the Grid opens, existing tenants in the area might vacate their space for the new buildings, said broker Brad Peterson, a senior vice president with CBRE Group. However, with asking rents for the Grid hovering around $3.25 to $3.50 per square foot, tenants will be those who “really want to be downtown in a Class A image,” he said. “There’s a few of those tenants, but I don’t know how many,” Peterson said. Developers flooded the valley with office buildings during the boom years last decade, and properties emptied during the recession as companies laid off workers en masse or shut down. There are plenty of empty offices these days and, overall, a relatively small number of users who gobble up whole buildings or other large amounts of space. All told, the number of tenants willing and able to pay top-dollar for the Grid is small, RCG Economics founder John Restrepo said. “I don’t think there’s a demand for it,” said broker Dan Palmeri, a director with Cushman & Wakefield Commerce Real Estate Solutions. “If they built it, would people be more interested in moving downtown? A little bit more.” Investors last decade bought the majority of five blocks downtown and then sold a 60 percent stake to Forest City. The group reached an agreement with the city to build City Hall on a portion of the site; to develop a 1,000-room resort in what’s now called Symphony Park; and to develop 900,000 to 1 million square feet of Class A offices and up to 300,000 square feet of retail on the remainder of the holdings, city documents show. The developers traded the land underneath City Hall for the city-owned parcel in Symphony Park. Radke, the city spokesman, said there are no pending applications or permits for the resort. He also confirmed that the Grid, despite being smaller than what the development agreement previously called for, comprises the third aspect of that deal. Forest City may not stop there, however. The marketing brochure for The Grid labels a block just south of the project site as “future development.”
Tight Nevada testing rules constrict supply of medical marijuana By conor shine Staff Writer
With Southern Nevada’s first dispensary open, medical marijuana cultivators are facing growing pains as they grapple with the state’s strict testing standards. Laboratory tests are required before medical marijuana can be sold, and failed tests have led to pounds of marijuana being destroyed, constricting supply and delaying at least one dispensary from opening. Dispensaries report several batch-
es of cannabis failing to meet the required levels for pesticides, mycotoxins or heavy metals, although the Division of Public and Behavioral Health did not provide specific data. While the lost crops are painful to growers who can lose tens of thousands of dollars for each failed batch, industry advocates say it’s a sign Nevada’s toughest-in-the-nation standards for quality are working. “This is medicine. It is going to the people who are the highest of risk — the elderly, cancer patients, people
who have compromised immune systems,” said Kathy Gillespie, co-owner of the cultivator Nevada Pure. “Why shouldn’t it be similar standards to what you would feed your kids?” In Nevada, independent laboratories check the quality of the cannabis. In California, no law requires medical marijuana testing, although some growers have cannabis tested because of customer demand, said Savino Sguera, lab director of DB Labs in Las Vegas.
“No one’s ever done this with cannabis before. We’re breaking new ground,” he said of the eight types of tests his office runs, looking for molds, funguses, fertilizers and bacteria such as salmonella. Many of the failed batches have been disqualified for excessive pesticide use. Testing standards for the monthsold industry are shifting as regulators and a panel of marijuana business representatives meet regularly to fine-tune the rules.

Nevada lawmakers pleased by Tesla’s response to angst over lithium deal By daniel rothberg Staff Writer
After lawmakers expressed frustration that Tesla, recipient of a $1.3 billion tax incentive that helped bring the state its battery factory, was planning to source an important metal for its batteries from a northern Mexico mine rather than from Nevada deposits, company CEO Elon Musk tweeted that it was “definitely” pursuing sources of lithium in Nevada. Musk also said the “lithium deal is not exclusive (and) has many contingencies. The press on this matter is unwarranted.” During the legislative session that approved the tax breaks, some lawmakers presumed the Tesla Gigafactory would spur Nevada’s lithium industry, which includes the United States’ only active mine and several other projects in various stages of development. One senator caught off guard was Democrat Tick Segerblom, who lamented Tesla’s sourcing from a Mexico site. Responding to Musk’s tweets, Segerblom said, “If it’s true, it’s fantastic. Hopefully, it was already in the works.” A spokesperson for Tesla clarified Musk’s comments, saying that “not all our lithium will come from these suppliers who made news earlier this week,” which leaves the door open to Nevada mines, as well as others in North America. Tesla declined to specify how much lithium from the Mexico mine would make up the company’s total supply chain. Tesla also declined to discuss projections of how much lithium the factory would consume, but independent estimates have suggested it could require 15,000 tons or more of the metal. Tesla is aiming to start operations in 2017 and be fully operational by 2020. The Silver Peak mine, owned by the Albermarle Corp., one of the world’s primary lithium suppliers, is several hundred miles away from the Giga-
factory. Officials at Albemarle said they would be able to meet the needs of Tesla and other manufacturers from sources including Nevada and other holdings, adding that Tesla’s deal with the Mexico mine does not obviate the ability of Albemarle to sell lithium to Tesla. “We are confident that the quality and security of supply for our lithium derivatives is a key differentiation for Albemarle in the marketplace today,” said David Klanecky, a vice president for the firm. “Based on Tesla’s demand for these materials, we will be able to meet their needs.” Nevada has other sources Tesla might be able to tap. Since 2009, Western Lithium has been developing a project in Nevada that could produce up to 26,000 tons per year, including the particular type of lithium Tesla requires. Jay Chmelauskas, Western Lithium’s CEO, said the company would not comment on corporate activities but said the company was open to talk to any firm “looking for long-term and sustainable lithium supplies.” Chmelauskas estimates the project could begin to produce lithium around 2019. The project’s next phase is permits and final engineering. He said it would be highly unlikely that a company such as Tesla would buy lithium from a single source: “We’re open for business and we’re looking for good partners to work with.” Although Western Lithium and Silver Peak are the highest-profile projects here, since 2008, at least three companies have acquired lithium projects in the state, according to Brian Jaskula, a beryllium, gallium and lithium commodity specialist with the U.S. Geological Survey. Republican Assemblyman Jim Wheeler of Minden said his vote for the Tesla deal was not predicated on the use of Nevada lithium. Asked his reaction to Musk’s assertion that Tesla was exploring in-state sources, Wheeler responded: “I’m really happy to hear that. More jobs in Nevada.”
More than 18,000 people have signed a petition asking Warren Buffett and NV Energy to ease what it calls their opposition to rooftop solar. The petition, released by climatetruth.org, includes more than 400 signatories who are investors in Buffett’s holding company, Berkshire Hathaway, which includes NV Energy. Lobbyists for Berkshire Hathaway have pushed to eliminate a credit or add new costs for rooftop solar customers in Nevada, Utah, Washington and other states, arguing the policy is a burden on nonsolar customers. In the past decade, Berkshire Hathaway has invested $15 billion in utility-scale solar projects across the country. The company recently signed on to the White House’s American Businesses Act on Climate Pledge, promising an additional $15 billion investment in renewables. For the petition signers, what Berkshire is doing isn’t enough. “They’ve made a great commitment, but what’s happening in Nevada and Utah runs contrary to it,” Brant Olson, campaign director for climatetruth.org, said. Roger Levine, 77, is a Berkshire shareholder who has solar panels on his home in Las Vegas. He signed the petition despite his financial interest in Buffett’s company. “I want him to leave net metering alone,” Levine said. “There are people ignoring climate change and we are seeing the results of it.” Faith Frank, a Las Vegas solar customer and Berkshire shareholder, also signed the pledge. “I am sure Warren Buffett is a perfectly nice man, but I am so tired of American corporations trying to squeeze out the last penny of profit at the cost of the environment,” she said. “It’s driving me crazy.” Berkshire has a diverse set of interests aside from the billions it has invested in renewables; it also has a large stake in the fossil fuel industry. Recently, Berkshire paid $4.5 billion to become the largest shareholder in one of the United States’ largest oil refiners, Phillips 66. Buffett’s role in Nevada’s rooftop solar debate has been making headlines this year, but that should be over by 2016. After the state’s cap on new net metering customers was reached months prior to expectations, the state Public Utilities Commission issued rules in August that froze the rate structure for the net metering program until a more permanent solution can be reached before 2016.

Deteriorating conditions can lead to a death spiral Long a staple of American suburbia, enclosed shopping malls have for years faced increased competition from online retailers and open-air, urban-style centers such as Town Square and Tivoli Village. Higher-end enclosed malls remain healthy and are growing stronger, analysts say, but older, lower-end ones are falling behind. Las Vegas Valley malls haven’t been forced to lock up, but some are doing better than others. The Forum Shops at Caesars is an “A++” mall with $1,616 in sales per square foot, and “A++” Fashion Show books $1,185 in sales per square foot, according to research firm Green Street Advisors. Meanwhile, Meadows Mall at U.S. 95 and Valley View Boulevard is a “B” Meadows Mall opened in 1978 and was renovated in 2003.

The department store has been converted into a clearance center, with the first floor closed to shoppers. Curry is there because clothing is discounted up to 65 percent, but it’s the first time she has been to Meadows in about a year. “I don’t like this mall at all,” says the retiree who has lived in Las Vegas since 1988. Meadows, which opened in 1978, is 97 percent occupied, according to Green Street — and appears in good shape. It was renovated in 2003, according to its owner, Chicago-based General Growth Properties. But walking around, it looks like a typical mall from the ’90s. It’s also short on shoppers. Meadows, at 945,000 square feet, gets busier on weekends, but even then, it’s not packed, clothing-store worker Esteban Hernandez said. “It’s pretty slow,” he said. Galleria and Boulevard have put a big focus on luring sit-down restaurants, but Meadows has only a food court. “I know I would go get a drink after work if there was something here, definitely,” Hernandez said. Janet LaFevre, senior marketing manager for General Growth’s Las Vegas malls, said at least six retailers have renovated, expanded or relocated inside Meadows this year; three others opened in the past year; a 10,000-square-foot shoe store is being built; and management is close to making an announcement about the Dillard’s building. She also said Meadows has a new general manager, Chris White, who brings a breath of fresh air to the mall, and that Meadows hosts community events with charities and other groups. Luring sit-down restaurants, LaFevre said, is “absolutely one of our wishlist priorities.” General Growth also owns Fashion Show, which is getting 22,000 square feet of new restaurant and retail space. LaFevre said the 1.8 million-squarefoot mall is never stagnant and never dull and is one of the company’s most dynamic properties. “You have to be when you’re on the Strip,” she said.
