PROJECT CHALLENGES

​

  • Size of site was 1/3 of that typically developed for a Las Vegas strip resort, which was usually more than 25 acres.

​

  • The property wrapped around The Jockey Club, a timeshare property that could not be acquired, and was being used as an outdoor parking facility for the owners.

​

  • Development solution had to include an incentive package to allow for construction of The Cosmopolitan while The Jockey Club remained operational.

OUR SOLUTION

  • Used an urban development model to maximize site potential which resulted in the ability to build 6.5 million square feet on the 8.5 acre parcel.

​

  • Devised a plan to excavate 62 feet below grade to provide the required number of parking spaces for the resort.

​

  • Through the government approval process, acquired dense entitlement approval including a variance on FAA building height restrictions, a variance which reduced the parking requirement, and a variance on the set back requirement relating to The Jockey Club line which granted approval for a 0 feet set back instead of the standard 30 feet set back.

​

  • The development model included 2200 condo-hotel rooms that would be sold at an estimated value to the project of $1.8 B.
