Reportedly flames of up to 30 feet in height steadly consumed the area as over 60 fireighters battled the blaze on Wednesday May 10th. Although a through investigation was underway as soon as the area was stable it still is unknown what caused the fire. Workers who were on site wednesday morning have been questioned and many witnesses have been asked what their opinion was and if they saw anything unusual.

What is known at this time is that Lan Terra Developments has released a statement saying that buyers will receive a refund, as there are no plans to rebuild at this time. This project was an Urban Village project off strip in a nice location for family buyers. They had a decent price point starting around $300,000 and it is assumed that someof the buyers will look at projects like Sullivan Square and Manhattan West who have similar price points and amenities. Although Brickwater is closer to the same geographic area and has better access to the Strip and the i-215 beltway.

A high profile condo project on the Strip is being canceled.  The W Las Vegas was supposed to go up on 50 acres of land near Harmon. This does not bode well for other high profile projects like Project City Center and Cosmopolitan! Although those other projects are doing strong in sales, does this mean that there aren’t as many nuyers as others have thought

It appears that financial backers have pulled out of the W Las Vegas, and now the project is dead.  There is no word on what is being planned for the location now.

A strong sentiment here at ‘the las vegas real estate showroom blog’ is that the “Casino Condos” don’t have the draw or staying power that Urban Villages do. They are not creating anything more then more rooms on the strip for people to stay in, regardless of whether they come here for weeks a year or not. And that is not what is needed, what is needed is an advanced sophistication for teh living styles of Las Vegas…Urban Villages.

Projects like Manhattan West, Sullivan Square and Brickwater are delivering a high quality, neighborhood lifestyle unlike anything ever avaialble in Las Vegas or Henderson. The Master Plan Communities that ahve been built in the last 20 years have paved the road for this more sophisticated reality and it is the belief of this blog that those projects will provide a much needed “Growing Up” for the City of Sin and Neon.

 We have an update regarding the beautiful and inpressive mixed use project known as Sullivan Square. For those whoa re unfamialiar with this project it is at Durango and Sunset in the Southwest of Las Vegas, Nv. Well positioned right next to the I-215 freeway which allows hign speed access to the Strip and Green Valley as well as those that like to play on the West Side as well!!

They have broken ground and started blasting on Tuesday to make way for the underground 100 car garage. Of course it will be a lengthy process as the all too irritating caliche has to be blasted through inorder to proceed with digging.

Hubble Smith of the Review Journal had this to say:

Drilling and blasting will start Tuesday at the 16-acre Sullivan Square development site near the Las Vegas Beltway and Durango Drive, an executive for the general contractor said.

Two drilling rigs were placed on the site to drill 40 blast holes a day on a 6-foot-by-6-foot grid pattern, UPA Group senior vice president Steven Parker said. The first blast of 100 holes will use 4,765 pounds of dynamite, he said.

The blasting begins site preparation work for Sullivan Square, an $800 million mixed-use project by Glen, Smith & Glen Development combining residential, business and retail space.

During the next few months, 15 separate blasts will enable the excavation of dirt and caliche to depths of 30 feet for building foundations and the underground parking garage. A portable rock crusher will be moved on site to process up to 4,000 cubic yards of dirt a day.
