Thank you to the NAIOP Community Service Committee and NAIOP members for your valued efforts to service the Las Vegas community throughout the summer months.

The group kicked off summer with the Communities in Schools college scholarship application fundraiser. The $2,921 raised during the fundraiser allowed graduating high school seniors the ability to submit college applications and pursue their dreams of attending college.

Next up was the annual Street Teens donation drive. Street Teens is a local non-profit dedicated to assisting homeless and at-risk youth. Our yearly involvement with the organization allows Street Teens to provide services that empower teens to strive towards a bright future. This year, the committee raised 411 total items (food and non-food) and collected monetary donations totaling $830.

Throughout August, members collected donations for the Hollingsworth Elementary School Drive. The supplies donated will help enable students and teachers go to school proud and empowered having the tools necessary to succeed. The group went above and beyond this year and collected 11,688 total student supplies and 162 total teacher supplies totaling $2,543.39.

Our Helping Hands of Vegas Valley donation drive was held at our October breakfast and our 3 drop off locations. The drive helps to support seniors in need throughout the valley. Often, seniors find themselves having to pay for either their prescriptions or food. We want to alleviate those worries and with YOUR help, our event was a success. We collected 1,164 pounds of canned and nonperishable food, 222 rolls of toilet paper, 48 rolls of paper towels, paper plates and plastic cutlery, as well as $740.00 in cash donations that will support seniors for months to come.

Next up is our EARLY TOY DRIVE through December 3rd.  We’re collecting toys for CASA Foundation of Las Vegas who puts on a wonderful annual holiday event for the foster kids in Southern Nevada. This year will be another drive through and their goal is for each child to receive $50 worth of gifts. We have three ways to donate and a list of suggested toys/gift cards. Note that the drive is early this year (instead of at our holiday event). See details here.

Contact us if you are interested in joining or would like more details on past or upcoming events. With your support, our efforts will continue to make a meaningful impact on the Las Vegas Valley.

Marianna Hunnicutt has been named a recipient of the National NAIOP 2021 Developing Leaders Award, honoring rising industry professionals throughout the nation. NAIOP selected five young professionals nationally to receive this prestigious award. Finalists were selected by a diverse group of NAIOP board members, and Hunnicutt represented Southern Nevada.

She has been an active member of NAIOP Southern Nevada since 2016 and she has been involved in numerous committees over the years. These include serving on the Communications, DLI, Programs and Sustainable Development Committees. Hunnicutt is an alumni of the DLI Class of 2019 and won the Developing Leader of the Year Award at this year’s NAIOP Southern Nevada chapter Spotlight Awards.

Hunnicutt works as a licensed civil engineer and project manager in the Southern Nevada private land development sector for Kimley-Horn, specializing in retail, industrial, mixed-use, multifamily, military, sports venues and gaming development.

Established in 2006, the Developing Leaders Award has been given to rising industry professionals from across NAIOP’s chapter network in all sectors of commercial real estate. The annual award honors up-and-coming professionals under the age of 35 for their extraordinary professional accomplishments, strong leadership and community involvement.

The DLA winners were announced at CRE.Converge 2021 in Miami Beach on Sept. 28 before 1,000 industry colleagues.

Earlier this year the Las Vegas Valley Water District made changes to its service rules, prohibiting water service to new customers who discharge wastewater to septic tanks. The rule was made to ensure all that our community’s water resources are returned to a wastewater treatment plant, and ultimately Lake Mead for credit – an important resource management effort to extend supplies. Septic tanks prevent our community’s water supplies from being used over and over again and represent a high consumptive use of scarce resources.

This memo is intended for members of the development community, including NAIOP and its members, and outlines the rule and how it may affect land owners seeking water service from LVVWD.

The Governor’s Office of Energy held a workshop and adoption hearing regarding the 2021 IECC adoption. There were two proposed appendices dealing with EV charging stations and parking calculations for both commercial and residential developments.

Ultimately what ended up happening was the GOE lowered some of the thresholds and did not formally adopt the appendices with the code. What they did was hand the appendices to the local municipalities as a guide for what they can pass through ordinance. Included are the links to the amended appendices.

We will be monitoring the local jurisdictions, as Clark County and Henderson are doing comprehensive code rewrites as we speak, and we will likely see some of this included in those code rewrites. The City of Las Vegas and the City of Henderson are also looking to adopt the 2021 IBC and IFC codes, so they are a candidate for adoption of the EV charging station appendices as well.

This issue will impact every aspect of commercial real estate, and we need your help! Please take some time to review and provide comments that will help NAIOP navigate this at the local level.

The 29th Annual NAIOP Golf Tournament was held on October 8, 2021 at Spanish Trail Country Club!  With more than 240 NAIOP Southern Nevada members and their guests in attendance, everyone enjoyed a fabulous day of golfing, refreshments, food and tee sponsor entertainment.

It was the one of the few days in Las Vegas that started with rain, causing a delayed start time, so players enjoyed breakfast inside the clubhouse, a fabulous Bloody Mary bar, putting contest and networking.

As the weather cleared, golfers were given a passport at registration and set out to travel “Around the World in 18 holes”. They visited destinations such as Cuba for a cigar, Seattle to warm up at the coffee bar, New York where they enjoyed the hot dog cart, Mexico City for a taco bar, Venice for some enchanting opera entertainment, Hawaii for shaved ice and hula-hoop competitions, Ireland for “luck o’ the Irish” at their golf game, amongst other destinations where players got to sample international treats, sip exotic beverages, and enjoy games and numerous photo booth ops.

Helix Electric won the best “Around the World in 18 Holes” themed hole. Their New York destination included a concession stand, hot dog cart, baseball outfits, décor which was a hit with the golfers.

After traveling their way through 18 holes, golfers enjoyed a sunny outdoor barbecue luncheon and awards banquet. With all the fabulous raffle prize donations we received from our amazing membership to support Government Affairs efforts in the upcoming year.

NAIOP Southern Nevada held its 2021 “Strength vs. Adversity: A Superhero battle within CRE” Bus Tour at Red Rock Casino Resort on November 4th. The annual event offered an overview of Southern Nevada’s commercial real estate industry and local developments. Instead of touring attendees on buses, those participating in this year’s event were assigned to a virtual “bus” traveling through four sponsored zone rooms that included a video flyover highlighting new developments within specific segments of the market.

Check out the event photos here.
