Work has been completed on an expansion to the Showcase Mall, a 481.4k sf retail and entertainment destination owned by Gindi Capital and located on the world famous Las Vegas Strip. The 155k sf, three-story Phase 4 expansion, was designed by Nadel Architecture + Planning.
The expansion, located at 3767 S. Las Vegas Blvd, opened in May after a slight delay due to the pandemic. It includes the addition of a 50k sf Burlington store and a 20k sf Target. Gindi Capital is planning to add a rooftop bar and restaurant 75 feet above street level, offering views of the Strip.
The project represents the potential for a strong retail recovery on the Las Vegas Strip – an area whose economy is largely dependent on tourism – once the COVID-19 pandemic subsides, according to Greg Lyon, chairman and principal for Nadel. Lyon notes that while the COVID-19 pandemic has had an unprecedented impact on all of commercial real estate, the company anticipates a robust rebound beginning in 2021 as a safe and viable vaccine becomes widely available and consumers feel comfortable about returning to shopping centers once more.
Nadel’s design of the fourth phase of Showcase Mall, a center that was originally constructed in 1996 and has experienced several additions over the years, is distinguishable for several reasons including the construction of a basement level and escalators to access the Burlington store on that level, elevators that lead to a unique lobby for each tenant, and an all-glass front façade, according to Mark Mikelson, principal with Nadel and lead architect on the expansion project.
The multi-level Showcase Mall, whose façade is famous for its 100-foot-tall Coca-Cola bottle and enormous bag of M&M’s to signify that the World of Coca-Cola museum and gift shop and the first-ever M&M’s candy and retail store are located at the property, also features a three-story Hard Rock Café and a variety of additional retail and entertainment tenants.
