Alternative business site spotlight: Las Vegas: unique new business center nears completion.

Marnell corporate Center's MCC3, a three story 71,000 square foot building in the master plan business complex, is nearing completion with its first tenants slated to move in November 2004. The Marnell Corporate Center is the only class "A" office complex in the Las Vegas airport submarket.

Marnell Properties recently signed a lease with NAI Horizon to occupy 14,084 square feet in MCC3, a lease with Rosenfeld & Hansen for 9,090 square feet and Tsunami Properties will occupy 2,573 square feet in MCC6 of the Marnell Corporate Center.

"When NAI Horizon decided to relocate its Las Vegas offices, we were looking for a step above from some of the traditional business districts and the Marnell Corporate Center offers a first-class, superior building," NAI Horizon CEO Ron McMenemy said. "The functional, modern, high-tech and quality of design from Marnell Corrao Associates including location and our relationship with the developer all contributed to our decision to move to the Marnell Corporate Center."

Current tenants of the Marnell Corporate Center also include Marnell Corrao Associates corporate headquarters, Tririga, a software development company, Siren Gaming, specializing in gaming software, Smith & Francis, an accounting firm, and Panevino Restaurant, a world class restaurant featuring fine dining and a dell-style restaurant. The Marnell Corporate Center master plan consists of six office buildings that complete the corporate circle with 380,000 square feet of suburban class "A" office space and 15,000 square feet of retail services.

A development project of Marnell Properties, Marnell Corporate Center is strategically located at the intersection of Interstate 15 and I-215 and adjacent to McCarran International Airport. This master planned office complex is a class "A" office environment providing high visibility and ease of access to all points in the Las Vegas Valley and only minutes to the arrival gates at McCarran International Airport. The Marnell Corporate Center is four minutes for the Las Vegas Strip, seven minutes from Sands Convention Center, nine minutes from Las Vegas Convention Center and 11 minutes from the Clark County Government Center.

The multi-tenant buildings in this center feature highly efficient floor plans, state-of-the-art facilities, management services, access to high-speed data infrastructure, lush landscaping, covered parking and public area finishes of the finest materials available.

In addition to ease of location and highly efficient floor plans offered by Marnell Properties, the Las Vegas economy and tax structure proves to be attractive to many businesses in terms of relocation and expansion. Companies and individuals alike appreciate Southern Nevada's low tax and pro-business operating environment. The Nevada Development Authority attributes no state corporate income tax, no personal income tax and the state's economic growth as the top three reasons why businesses find it appealing to relocate and expand into this market.

A division of Marnell Corrao Associates, Marnell Properties, is a real estate development and management company that focuses on the acquisition, development and management of commercial, revenue-producing real estate holdings. Applying that same tradition of innovation and experience to the commercial real estate environment as Marnell Corrao Associates, Marnell Properties is beginning to define a new Las Vegas as a city able to provide business infrastructure that will enhance the capabilities of growing enterprises serving local, national and international markets.
