Ground broken on three retail projects

Laurich Properties Inc. said it broke ground on three Las Vegas retail centers and is building seven such centers locally this year.

Laurich broke ground on a 108,000-square-foot "Big K" Kmart store at Buffalo Drive and Washington Avenue. The 153,000-square-foot, $8 million project will include space for additional shops, including a Trader Joe's. The project is expected to open by year's end.

The company also broke ground on Silverado Ranch Center, a development at Silverado Ranch Drive and Maryland Parkway. The center will be anchored by a Lucky market and a Sav-on drug store. The 105,000-square-foot, $13 million first phase is scheduled to open in January, with construction on the second phase starting in the summer of 2000.

Laurich also is building a Sav-on at Charleston Boulevard and Tonopah Avenue.
