LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwired - Oct 17, 2016) - Boulevard Invest LLC., owners of Miracle Mile Shops on the famed Las Vegas Strip, have completed the sale of the center to an affiliate of Institutional Mall Investors LLC, a co-investment venture owned by Miller Capital Advisory, Inc. and CalPERS.
The sale price was not announced.
"We're extremely proud of the job our entire team has done over the last decade, weathering Las Vegas' economic downturn and rebounding to make Miracle Mile Shops one of the 10 busiest malls in the country," said David Edelstein of Tristar Capital, which along with RFR Holdings makes up the partnership behind Boulevard Invest LLC. "With its location, tenant mix and Las Vegas' continued growth, we believe Miracle Mile Shops is ideally poised to continue its upward trajectory and we're confident that Institutional Mall Investors LLC is the right company to take the center to the next level."
Tristar Capital and RFR Holdings took ownership of the mall in 2004. Since that time, Miracle Mile Shops has become one of the most dynamic malls in the country, anchored by the Axis Theatre, which is home to residency performers Britney Spears and Jennifer Lopez, 13 restaurants, three additional live entertainment theatres and direct access to Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino's 100,000-square-foot casino and 2,567 guest rooms.
Andrew Miller, President and CEO of Miller Capital Advisory, said the company is excited for the future of Miracle Mile Shops and Las Vegas.
"Las Vegas continues to set record visitor numbers and that is certainly reflected in the traffic we see at Miracle Mile Shops," said Miller. "The world-class mix of tenants appeals to a broad demographic and we expect to continue to build on the mall's current success."
Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P. (HFF) served as the advisor to the ownership group for this transaction as part of a capitalization advisory strategy that included a refinancing of Miracle Mile Shops in 2013.
