As part of the total square footage, 1 million will be dedicated to office space; another 600,000 square feet will be used for retail, including fitness facilities, movie theaters and restaurants. The balance of the space in City Crossing will be in 2,500 residential units. Henderson recently approved the zoning change and project. Plise is still going through Henderson to determine the architecture and use mix and product type.

The Las Vegas building boom worth $20 billion, a five year timeline, is under way on the Las Vegas Strip. It will roughly double the inventory of luxury hotel rooms costing $200 a night or more, a new Standard & Poor’s study said.

This newfound focus on upscale visitors is largely a response to continuing Las Vegas demographic shifts.

Real estate projects that S&P said probably would be completed include:

• The $1.8 billion Palazzo Las Vegas high rise with 3,025 rooms.

• The $1.7 billion Encore Wynn Las Vegas with 2,054 rooms.

• The $7 billion MGM Mirage Project CityCenter with 7,700 rooms.

• The $4 billion Echelon Place with 3,300 rooms.
