Our President-Elect Jeff Foster is undertaking a role shift within Prologis which unfortunately for NAIOP will preclude him from serving as President Elect for 2018. He will remain a member and finish his term on the Board. A long-time pillar of the NAIOP Southern Nevada Chapter, we appreciate Jeff’s dedication and energy while on the Board.

The Board of Directors has appointed Mike Mixer as President-Elect. Mike is the Executive Managing Director and co-founder of the Colliers International Las Vegas office. He has been a NAIOP member since the 1990’s and has served on the Board for the past 3 years. Mike is actively involved in the Membership Committee.

Thank you to Mike for stepping up and taking on the challenge. We look forward to supporting and working alongside him next year as he serves as Chapter President.

LED Bulbs use 90% less energy than standard bulbs, generate light at 87.2 degrees and have a lifespan of an estimated 15,000 hours. Standard bulbs typically generate light at 335.4 degrees and have a lifespan of 1,000 hours.

LEDs do cost more up front but in order to match a typical 13.5 year life span of an LED bulb, a person would need to purchase 14 standard bulbs and would spend approximately $80 more in energy costs. Not to mention the cost savings in terms of the labor to switch out all of the lights.

So while the upfront costs of LED bulbs are higher, the long term energy and cost savings can be significant for businesses that require significant lighting.

The 1950s saw the introduction of two innovations to the American scene – the supermarket, where people could buy just about everything they needed for day-to-day living under one roof in air-conditioned comfort and to the soothing sounds of Muzak, and the computer. Who could have guessed that the latter would, in just 50 years, threaten the existence of the other? Read more

Dear Fellow Members,

Commercial real estate development continues to thrive in Southern Nevada and NAIOP is on the forefront, blazing the trail.

A big part of the trail in 2017 is attributable to the Government Affairs efforts during Nevada’s 79th legislative session. NAIOP Southern Nevada teamed up with our colleagues from the Northern Nevada chapter and successfully represented the voice of commercial real estate development as “one Nevada”. Our success at the State level wouldn’t have been possible without the involvement of Jonathan Leleu and Kerrie Kramer of Greenberg Traurig. They camped out in Carson City from February 6th to June 6th and assisted the Government Affairs Committee immensely by being the eyes, ears, and voice of NAIOP for those biennial 120 days.
