New shopping center in Chinatown area approved
Clark County commissioners gave the green light this week to a new retail plaza in the Chinatown area.
The County Commission on Wednesday approved plans by Las Vegas developer Ali Kaveh for a shopping center along the north side of Spring Mountain Road at Wynn Road, about 1½ miles west of the Strip.
His project was part of the meeting’s so-called routine action items and was approved, with other such measures, in one vote without discussion on them.
Project plans filed with the county show a 73,482-square-foot complex consisting of six buildings on a T-shaped plot. It would also feature outdoor dining areas and a playground.
Las Vegas’ restaurant-packed Chinatown commercial district along Spring Mountain is popular with locals and tourists alike, and its retail centers are typically filled with tenants.
Kaveh, owner of Platinum Realty, previously told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that he aims to break ground on the plaza, called Jade Promenade, in the fourth quarter of 2026.
He also plans to build a neighboring apartment complex with around 150 units, saying this would be the second phase of his project.
Kaveh described the retail center as a roughly $40 million development and the apartment complex as a $30 million project.
Casino giant Caesars Entertainment previously confirmed that it owns the project site, and Kaveh said that he is under contract to buy the empty lot.
