NEW YORK CITY-Robert K. Futterman & Associates opened a Las Vegas office to coincide with securing the exclusive retail assignment for the under construction 1.7-million-sf Town Square Las Vegas. RKF, which is headquartered here, also plans to open offices in Los Angeles and in Miami later this year.

"Las Vegas is one of the hottest market for retail in the US," explains Robert K. Futterman, CEO. "Many of our clients--retailers and investors alike--have either already entered the market or plan to establish a presence there.

Construction is expected to begin later this year on Turnberry Associates' super-regional lifestyle center. It will be developed at the south end of the Strip at the intersection of Interstates 15 and 215. When complete, Town Square Las Vegas will include retail shops, restaurants, entertainment, a multiplex cinema, office space and a hotel.
