Prime Vegas Land Could Top $1B

LAS VEGAS-Local real estate executive Howard Bulloch retains CB Richard Ellis and Goldman Sachs to market 38 acres with Strip frontage near McCarran International Airport.

By Brian K. Miller | Updated on July 17, 2007

LAS VEGAS-A 38-acre site across Las Vegas Boulevard from Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino is coming to market. Landowner Howard Bulloch, a local real estate executive, has retained the global gaming groups of CB Richard Ellis and Goldman Sachs to market the property. Given recent comparables, the purchase price could hit $1 billion.

The site is located at the south end of the six-mile stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard known as the Las Vegas Strip. CB Richard Ellis says the property will be marketed to the world’s largest development and gaming companies as the last opportunity on the Strip to control enough land for a large mixed-use project. Local CB Richard Ellis brokers John Knott, Carlton Geer and Michael Parks will be at the forefront of the process on the local level.

Land with Strip frontage has recently been sold or put under contract for between $17 million and $35 million per acre. Most recently, earlier this month, FX Luxury Realty paid $36.7 million per acre ($180 million plus assumed debt) for the 50% interest it did not already own in 17.7 acres fronting the east side of the Las Vegas Strip immediately south of Harmon Avenue. The interest was acquired from Africa-Israel Investments Ltd. An Elvis-themed resort is expected, if not a sure thing.
