The Dream Las Vegas project could soon awaken from its coma. That’s if an extension application recently filed for its building permits is any indication.<\/p>\n

Construction of the casino resort on the southernmost tip of the Strip stalled in March, <\/a>with its developers reportedly owing between $25M and $30M. According to the new documents filed with Clark County, and first reported by the Las Vegas Review-Journal,<\/em> it could restart at the beginning of 2024.<\/p>\n

One of those documents, a justification letter for the extension written on Oct. 4 by the developer\u2019s attorneys, promised that the financing issues delaying the project were \u201cbeing sorted out,\u201d according to the newspaper.<\/p>\n

Specifically, a bridge loan is expected to close by early November, followed by \u201cthe close of the full capital stack (equity and debt) by December 2023.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the time construction stopped, developer Bill Shopoff, president and CEO of Shopoff Realty Investments, told the R-J<\/em> he expected to strike a new financing deal “in the next couple of weeks.”<\/p>\n

What Dream is Made of<\/h2>\n

In February 2020, Shopoff and Contour, a privately owned commercial real estate development group, announced that they had purchased 5.25 acres of undeveloped Las Vegas Boulevard land next to Harry Reid International Airport.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Dream Hotel Group, a New York City-based operator of four Manhattan luxury properties and hotels in Miami Beach, Hollywood, and Nashville, signed on to run the planned 21-story luxury hotel.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It would include 531 guest rooms, seven dining and nightlife venues \u2014 one being a rooftop pool deck — a 12,000 square-foot convention center, a spa, and a small casino floor. After being delayed by the pandemic shutdown, the casino hotel broke ground<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0on July 8, 2022.<\/p>\n

\n

Dream Las Vegas was originally estimated to cost $300M to complete, but that estimate eventually doubled to $550M-$575M. Shopoff told the R-J<\/em> last year that he blamed inflation, combined with the interest hikes on borrowing imposed last year by the Federal Reserve to control it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Dream Hotel Group\u00a0was acquired by Hyatt Hotels Corp.<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0in February 2023. The corporation reportedly paid a base price of $125M, with an additional $175M due over the next six years \u201cas properties come into the pipeline and open.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
