Who’s ready for BLVD Las Vegas? Well, first we better explain just what BLVD is. First, it’s not a shopping center. Rather, it’s a three-story center located on The Strip. Ut’s a mixed bowl of restaurants, lifestyle, special events, and yes… retail. But these are specialty shops you won’t find in every mall.
BLVD Las Vegas is taking over the former site of the Hawaiian Marketplace, which closed in 2022. Once fully up and running it will be the largest standalone retail, entertainment, and dining complex on the Strip, spanning 400,000 square feet. That’s pretty impressive for a business in Las Vegas with no casino or hotel.
Current tenants include Abercrombie & Fitch, Pandora, Adidas, In-N-Out Burger, and Puma. The opening will happen in stages from March to May, with more stores opening up through 2026. The complex will also feature a 120,000 square-foot food court and a rooftop area.
The rooftop area will also be able to host special events and/or performances. Plus there’s The Overlook, which is a small benched area, located right above Las Vegas Boulevard, which is expected to be a popular selfie spot. You can see more about this project when you visit the official website.
Gindi Capital, a New York-based real estate investment and development firm, owns BLVD Las Vegas, which was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Construction resumed in 2023, and the first tenant moved in a few months ago, ahead of the official opening.
