History

Hawaiian Marketplace in 2012 Hawaiian Marketplace, Las Vegas (7859896684).jpg
Hawaiian Marketplace in 2012

Blvd is being developed by New York-based Gindi Capital, which also owns the Showcase Mall, located further south on the Las Vegas Strip. The Blvd site was previously occupied by the Hawaiian Marketplace, [1] opened in 2004. [2] [3] [4] Other structures on the property included a strip mall known as Cable Center Shops, and the Boulevard food court. [1] [5] The site was once planned to feature an Elvis Presley-themed resort, a project that was ultimately canceled due to the 2008 recession. [6] [7]

Gindi purchased the structures, as well as rear acreage, in 2019. The parcels, totaling 9.5 acres (3.8 ha), were sold for $172 million. Gindi soon announced plans to build a retail and entertainment complex on the site, [1] [8] [5] although the project was delayed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. [9] It was further hampered after the pandemic caused a rise in interest rates. To offset the project's costs, Gindi partnered with entrepreneurs Andrew and Peggy Cherng, who co-own the Waldorf Astoria hotel across the street. Cherng Family Trust is a 50-percent partner in Blvd. [7]

The existing structures on the site closed in mid-2022, [10] [11] and were demolished early the following year. [5] [12] Construction soon began on Blvd, with Penta Building Group as the general contractor. [13] The project was topped out in December 2023, [14] and was 20-percent leased at that time. [7]

The first tenant, Puma, opened on November 15, 2024, [15] ahead of the Las Vegas Grand Prix, an annual race held by Puma's partner Formula One. [16] Additional tenants are expected to open in early 2025, [7] [14] as part of a grand opening event for the mall. [16]

Features

Blvd will have a total of 400,000 sq ft (37,000 m2) across three floors, including a 110,000 sq ft (10,000 m2) rooftop dining terrace overlooking the Strip. [9] [17] The first two floors are dedicated to retail space, with 700 feet of street frontage along the Strip. Tenants will have two-story storefronts. [9] Unlike the nearby Shops at Crystals, Blvd will not feature high-end retailers, [9] instead focusing on a middle-class clientele. [7] In addition to Puma, other notable tenants will include Adidas, H&M, [17] and an In-N-Out Burger, one of the largest in the chain. [18] [19]

Blvd was designed by BWA Architects, 5+design, and 3 Egg Studio. [13] The rear of the property was left vacant for future development, including a possible hotel. [20]
