  • Real Estate Deck 2017
    ABOUTWE ASPIRE TO BEUS FIRST, UNIQUE, OR BEST IN EVERYTHING WE DO. Downtown Project was founded in January 2012 with the idea that if you accelerate co-learning, collisions, and connectedness in the city’s urban core, productivity, innovation, growth, and happiness will fall into place. Zappos.com CEO Tony Hsieh made a personal investment of $350 million toward helping with the revitalization of part of downtown Las Vegas. His investment became Downtown Project, which has allocated roughly $200 million in real estate and development, $50 million in small businesses, $50 million in technology and startups through VTF Capital, and $50 million in arts and culture, education, and healthcare. A large portion of our investment was allocated toward real estate and development in the Fremont East/East Village districts of downtown Las Vegas. We own approximately 45 acres, and we’re activating our holdings in an organic way, rather than through a top-down master plan. We’ve purposely activated buildings that are not directly next to one another in order to encourage people to walk a little farther into the neighborhood, which increases opportunities for collisions. The roughly $200 million to real estate and development includes approximately 45 acres of land in and around the Fremont East and East Village districts, and approximately 11 businesses that we wholly own and operate. So far we’ve invested in approximately 50 small businesses ranging from restaurants, bars, and a microbrewery to retail, including a bookstore, a record store/recording studio, and a toy store. Downtown Project has also invested in services, from a membership-based dog park and doggie day care to an app-based laundry and dry cleaning business.

  • I Hate Las Vegas!
    I hate Las Vegas! As with all things extreme, Las Vegas inspires extreme reactions. For all the millions of travelers who love spending time in Sin City — having experiences that haven’t stayed in Vegas since the dawn of Facebook — there are a few million others for whom the casino playground is not (ahem) their cup of tea. OK, they hate it. Some really hate it. Maybe it’s the casinos and their acres of flashing, beeping games, or the excess of resorts larger than some European countries, or the blanket permission for visitors to overindulge, or the culture of an “adult Disneyland” (which is to say no culture). Whatever the reason, these people are not interested in Las Vegas. Which means probably they haven’t been downtown. It isn’t new. Over the past five years, the Downtown — where the city was born, but miles from the Strip — has been evolving from gritty underbelly neighborhood into a critical mass of fun and funky restaurants, revived watering holes, creatively constructed malls, hotels made over with boutique sensibilities and museums any city would kill to host. The neighborhood still has its gritty side, but don’t be afraid to venture off the main drag of East Fremont Street (not to be confused with the Fremont Street Experience). And while there isn’t a flurry of new developments (at least not compared with two years ago), Downtown is settling in, maturing, becoming more well rounded, with places that aren’t going to burn out in a month or two. It’s been described as the “anti-Vegas,” although we like to think of it as the “alternative Vegas,” a legitimate option for all the folks who hate the town (including many who have never been there).

  • Q114 NW NV Investment RE Report Rowley
    Northern Nevada Commercial Investment Real Estate Report – 1st Quarter 2014 The “VUCA” Issue I read about the word “VUCA” in the April 7th issue of Fortune magazine. This acronym was invented by the Army War College in in the early 1990’s to describe the world after the collapse of the Soviet Union: Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous. Seems like VUCA applies to a lot of things today – since twenty years later Russia seems to be expanding - again. VUCA could describe anything from the Kardashian’s personal relationships to the status of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Major Planned / Under Construction Apartments This quarter I added 560 units to my database: Village at the Peak and Sterling Sierra – both described below. The totals I am tracking now consist of: Planned (there are more but these are likely to be built): 6 projects for 1,380 units – 2 described below Under Construction: 4 projects for 1,034 units – all described below Total: 10 projects for 2,414 units Ø Construction of the Silver Peak Apartments, planned for 420 units in the North Valleys, continues to be on hold. Their Special Use Permit expires in March of 2016, so they have time. Ø The Villas at Keystone Canyon continues in full-swing site work. Grady Kromer out of Truckee is the developer of this 288-unit project. Ø Silverwing Development is planning Edgewater at Virginia Lake. The 1960’s era rental housing will be demolished and replaced with 288 rental condos and 48 for-sale townhouses. Virginia Lake will be revitalized by covering the Cochran Ditch.
