LOS ANGELES — The Siegel Group, Inc., a Commercial Real Estate & Business Development Company, today announced that it had finalized its acquisition of Garardelli Square; a retail shopping center located in Las Vegas, Nevada. The property is situated on Swenson Street which is the major artery that carries traffic from McCarran International Airport to the Las Vegas Strip and Downtown Las Vegas and sits directly adjacent to the Thomas & Mack Center and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) campus.

The purchase price was financed by First Republic Bank. SASCO Properties, an affiliate of The Siegel Group, has been retained to manage the property which will be renamed Siegel Plaza. Extensive capital improvements have been initiated that will include new facade, signage, lighting and landscaping.

Stephen Siegel, President and Chief Executive Officer of The Siegel Group, said: “This is a great addition to our portfolio of national shopping center developments and we are excited to have acquired an asset in such a desirable location of Las Vegas that is so close to the famous Hard Rock Hotel & Casino and other major destination hubs where so much commercial development is occurring.
