LV mall, tenant sued by builder

Tuesday, Dec. 12, 2000 | 11:33 a.m.

A Las Vegas contractor sued the owner of the Beluga Bar at the Caspian Sea and the owner of the Desert Passage Mall, TrizecHahn Development Corp. of Toronto, alleging they failed to pay $608,245 for work done at the Beluga Bar.

In a Clark County District Court lawsuit, Nevada Building & Development Corp. sued Caviar Royal LLC and Beluga Bar's manager, Barry Katcher, to foreclose on the Beluga Bar, alleging it defaulted on "payments for supervision, overhead profits and scope of work payments due based on the percentage of work completed at the time of billing."

Beluga Bar received in October a three-day notice to pay rents or vacate its space from the Desert Passage Mall. But the caviar sampling establishment said in court documents it doesn't owe mall managers $135,000 sought in back rents because the mall on the Las Vegas Strip hasn't been completed and traffic has been below expectations.

The defendants could not be reached.
