Construction began this week on the World Market Center on a 57-acre parcel at Grand Central Parkway and Bonneville Avenue near downtown Las Vegas.
Scheduled to open in 2005, phase one of the World Market Center will include 1.3 million square feet. Upon completion, the project is envisioned to cost $1 billion and will encompass 7.5 million square feet.
Phase one is fully leased with 224 furniture manufacturer tenants, said Jack Kashani, co-managing partner of the project.
