Fall of the high-rise Why the jewels of the pre-recession boom are missing from the construction rebound By Eli Segall | Staff Writer
Southern Nevada’s once-pummeled construction industry has bounced back from the depths of the recession, with builders putting up housing tracts, apartment complexes, warehouses and retail plazas. ¶ But one type of project, a poster child for Las Vegas’ real estate craze last decade, is missing from local construction sites: residential towers. tow e r trou b le , Continu e d on pag e 10

ALLEGIANT AIR AND THE PILOTS’ UNION MAY STRIKE A DEAL Is the long-running spat between Allegiant Air pilots and management coming to an end? Early signs are that it might be — at least for now. The Las Vegas-based discount airline announced June 21 that it struck a tentative contract agreement with the pilots’ union, the Teamsters. Neither the company nor the union disclosed exact terms of the contract. But if approved by the pilots, it would be the aviators’ first labor agreement with Allegiant since they voted in 2012 to join the Teamsters. “Our pilots are a vital part of our team, and we are looking forward to building a better future with them and for them,” Allegiant CEO Maury Gallagher said in a news release. The pilots’ “resolve” and the tentative deal show that “when airline pilots stand together, we can win real changes that help improve the passenger experience and the company’s bottom

line, as well as our ability to support our families,” said Daniel Wells, president of Teamsters Local 1224 in its own release on the development. Relations between the union and Allegiant have been volatile, marked by litigation, heated rhetoric and an attempted pilots’ strike that was quashed by the courts. Don’t be surprised if tensions flare up again when the new contract expires — and if talk of “a better future” fades away. — ELI SEGALL

We work with major commercial clients and government agencies at local, state and federal levels, including Nellis Air Force Base (where we coordinate with the Network Operations Center to ensure operational continuity). We have an established presence in Las Vegas, Reno, Denver and Phoenix. We also have satellite locations and clients nationwide. What’s the most important part of your job?
The most important thing for any CEO is her people. Find the right team, figure out what motivates each individual, and then give them the guidance and resources they need to be successful. What’s difficult about doing business in Las Vegas?
There’s an IT talent gap in Las Vegas. There’s a lot of work to be done to improve STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) education here. We don’t have enough qualified IT people locally to serve all the projects that our clients need to fulfill. Organizations like SIM Las Vegas and TechImpact’s ITWorks are working to fix this issue. The SIM Las Vegas bylaws include assisting in identifying the educational needs of the community and working with academic institutions to meet those needs. ITWorks strives to provide a free, immersive IT training program to motivated young adults who are underemployed or unemployed. Link Technolo-
gies is an active and proud supporter of both organizations. What is the best part about doing business in Las Vegas?
It’s a small community. If you excel at supporting your clients, you become part of that community, not just an outside vendor.
Do you ever face discrimination for being a woman in the technology industry?
It’s disingenuous to say women don’t face discrimination in this industry, but it’s not something I fixate on. I acknowledge it as a reality, but I’ve never hesitated to make a phone call, schedule a meeting or attempt a sale out of fear for how I’d be perceived. I put together a strong strategic plan and then execute it, regardless of my gender. What’s next for your company?
We’re continuing to focus on our compliance and cyber-security practices. In a world of sophisticated cyber threats and well-publicized attacks, having a strong security posture and PCI-compliant credit-card practices is only going to become more important. Our goal is to be the go-to provider for this in Las Vegas and Denver, and we’re already off to a great start. How can Nevada improve its business climate?
Nevada needs to be seen as a burgeoning hub of tech innovation — by the media and by the students who go to school here. That’s going to draw talent from outside our community and hopefully get our kids excited about science, technology and engineering careers. It starts with perception. As a state, we need to brand ourselves appropriately to attract the right kind of attention.

North Las Vegas’ squatting problem prompts coordinated crackdown By eli segall
and called the police. Both houses are a mess inside, and Clark County records show they’re still owned by people who bought them during the bubble years. They’ve been abandoned for quite a while, too. According to Ragsdell, the larger house has been vacant for two or three years, the smaller house for five years.
Staff Writer
When squatters go to the North Las Vegas Utilities Department to get the water turned on at a house, they show a signed lease as proof of ownership. The document is bogus, of course, and sometimes it doesn’t take long for the department’s staff to spot its flaws. The owner of record’s name is misspelled or wrong, or the landlord’s signature looks like the renter’s. The tenant might indicate that he sends rent checks to the rental house itself, or list his own phone number as the landlord’s. City officials call that number to verify the lease, but a cell phone nearby starts ringing. The phone belongs to — you guessed it — the squatter. “Sometimes, they get embarrassed and won’t even pick it up,” says business services manager Romina Wilson. “It’s funny. You can tell.” Like the rest of the valley, North Las Vegas is grappling with a squatter problem around the city, fueled by the region’s big inventory of empty houses — many of which were abandoned by people with steep financial problems when the economy crashed — and the nowwidespread use of bogus leases. Local government agencies have taken different steps the past few years to clear squatters or prevent them from moving in. North Las Vegas, arguably more prone to squatters than much of Southern Nevada, is using a multipronged approach: Police, code-enforcement and utilities officials say they’re working together and using paperwork traps to spot fake rental contracts and push squatters out. “We’re working as one to put it together, because without that, we’d be out there spinning our wheels,” said Officer Scott Vaughn, who leads the police department’s squatter enforcement. By all accounts, it’s not too difficult to find an abandoned home in the valley to squat in, and it’s even easier to draw up a bogus lease. Vaughn has heard that someone locally is even teaching classes on how to squat in houses. And like in the rest of the valley,

there’s no shortage of homes for city officials to target. Through April 21, in the first four weeks or so that some officers spent the bulk of their time targeting squatters, North Las Vegas police cleared out some 55 houses and made four arrests, Vaughn said. Officers have been visiting six to 10 suspected squatter homes per week. Squatters move to nice and rundown houses, come from “every walk of life” and target neighborhoods citywide, according to Vaughn. “It looks like a shotgun blast on a map; it’s everywhere,” he said. That includes Reliant Street, near Lone Mountain Road and Allen Lane, where two vacant homes — next door to each other, no less — were occupied by squatters in recent months. A woman and her five children lived in an abandoned two-story house for eight months, and they had no water service over their last two months, Vaughn said. Officers cleared the house in May, and a children’s bicycle, furniture, a barbecue, a mop, water bottles, an open box of Pop-Tarts and other items were still inside on a recent visit. The prior occupant — apparently the owner — left furniture and other belongings when she moved out. The squatter, who showed up one day in a U-Haul truck and said she had rented the place, held two garage sales with
the abandoned property. The squatter became a nightmare of sorts: She got into confrontations with neighbors, sent her kids with buckets or jugs to steal water from neighbors’ hose bibbs, and ran an extension cord to the squatter house next door to get power. Susan Ragsdell, who lives across the street, said the kids would hang out on the roof and were in the neighborhood “a lot” during the day. “They weren’t in school very much,” she said. Squatters in the one-story house next door apparently knew the woman in the other home, Vaughn said.

Southern Nevada’s housing market is on stronger footing today, but it’s still ripe for squatting. Some 2.1 percent of Las Vegas-area homes, or 13,850 properties, are vacant, compared with 1.6 percent of U.S. homes, according to foreclosuretracking firm RealtyTrac. Metro Police have said they received at least 4,458 squatter-related service calls in Las Vegas and unincorporated Clark County last year, more than double the tally in 2012. Squatter homes can become dens of drug use, weapons, fraud labs, child neglect or other criminal activity, police say, and the occupants often are ex-cons. “We’re finding hardcore felons, serious criminals in these houses,” said Officer Ann Cavaricci, North Las Vegas police spokeswoman. Government agencies are trying to crack down. Metro, which oversees the bulk of Clark County, does not have a dedicated squatter unit, but some of its officers pushed for an anti-squatter law. Assembly Bill 386, approved by the Legislature last year, established such criminal offenses as housebreaking, or forcibly entering a vacant home to live there or let someone else move in without the owner’s consent, and unlawful occupancy, or moving to an empty home knowing you don’t have permission to be there. Las Vegas city officials recently launched a pilot program to board up abandoned houses with a sheet plastic made of polycarbonate, a supposedly unbreakable alternative to plywood. Also, Henderson Police have teamed with the Greater Las Vegas Association of Realtors to cre-

ate forms for landlords to fill out, to show who owns a squatter house and whether the occupants signed a lease with the actual owners, in the hope that the documents would help police more efficiently target squatters. By 2014, North Las Vegas City Councilwoman Anita Wood was hearing complaints about squatters from constituents. She didn’t hear much about the issue when she joined the council in 2009 — but then again, she noted, people didn’t realize how long the valley’s empty houses would sit vacant and ignored. The squatter problem, she says, “was more prolific than we realized.” At a city council meeting in May 2014, she proposed creating a task force to target squatters. The group has come up with a series of tactics, including: If someone tries to get the water turned on at a house listed in North Las Vegas’ foreclosure registry — comprising homes that were hit with default notices — utilities officials are automatically alerted. They then give the application closer scrutiny and try to contact the owner of record. The city doesn’t start water service until officials can verify the lease is real, utilities director Randy DeVaul said. Another tactic: Code-enforcement officers, working with police, pull property records to see if the landlord’s name and signature on the squatter’s lease matches the real owner’s. When police knock on the door of a suspected squatter house, someone often answers with a rental contract in hand that contains the real owner’s name — easily obtained by searching the Clark County Assessor’s website. Code-enforcement officer Matt Meanea said squatters had used so many identical tactics that he looked online to see if someone posted stepby-step instructions, “because that’s what it feels like.” Squatters are neither new nor unique to North Las Vegas or the valley at large. But when Joe Forti was on the city’s police force, squatters hadn’t moved throughout town and made homes, well, their homes. A former North Las Vegas police chief, Forti joined the department in 1980 and retired in 2010. He said he didn’t see squatters until the mid1980s, and most were people breaking into empty houses in low-income neighborhoods to use or sell drugs, or vagrants looking for a place to sleep. Fake leases surfaced about 15 years ago but were rare at the time, he said.

Also, many vacant homes were rental properties owned by local residents, and getting in touch with them seemed relatively easy, according to Forti. Today, when dealing with abandoned houses, it can be difficult to track down the owners, many of whom left the valley when the economy collapsed, or to untangle the mess of foreclosure, bankruptcy, county recorder or other filings to figure out who owns the home. “You don’t even know which bank or mortgage company owns them anymore,” Forti said. nnn
When Southern Nevada was ground zero for the real estate bubble last decade, North Las Vegas was one of the fastest-growing cities in America. But when the market crashed, the valley was one of the hardest-hit areas in the nation, and in some ways North Las Vegas was pummeled the hardest here.
The city declared a financial emergency, its bonds fell to junk status and its housing woes were especially severe. Some 31 percent of U.S. homeowners with mortgages were underwater, meaning their debt outweighed their home’s value, by early 2012, the peak rate nationally. But 71 percent of Southern Nevada borrowers were upside-down at the time — and in North Las Vegas, about 81 percent were underwater, according to home-listing service Zillow. At times in 2008 and 2009, lenders filed more than 1,000 default notices a month against homes in North Las Vegas and repossessed more than 500 homes monthly, according to RealtyTrac. People broke into vacant homes to use drugs or party, and though squatting became more frequent during the recession, it was “kind of a trickle in the beginning,” said Cavaricci, the police spokeswoman.

But with thousands of empty homes littering the valley, squatters had plenty of options if they wanted to live somewhere for free, and a black market began to take shape, according to police and real estate pros. People would break into a house, change the locks, draw up a fake lease — something to show a cop or real estate agent if they stopped by — and “rent” it out, often through Craigslist. Stories abound of squatters meeting their “landlord” at a convenience-store parking lot to pay their rent in cash. Before the new anti-squatter law took effect, police could charge squatters with trespassing or lodging without the owner’s consent, both misdemeanors. But with suspected squatters furnishing lease agreements, officers typically treated the cases as landlord-tenant disputes to be hashed out in civil courts. At least once, squatters even obtained court approval to stay put, Metro officers have said. “People started figuring out that they could do this, that they could give us a fake lease and we couldn’t really do a whole lot about it,” Cavaricci said. Meanwhile, many squatters have tried to get paid to leave the house they’re squatting in. At least in North Las Vegas, they have often told police that they want “cash for keys” — that they’ll leave if someone pays them for rental money they say they shelled out. As Vaughn puts it, that program — or at least the hope of getting paid through it — has helped create “the monster that we have.” Under a typical cash-for-keys program, lenders pay financially strapped homeowners to move out. However, it’s solely for the owner of record, not for anyone who happens to be living in the house, said Nevada Bankers Association CEO Phyllis Gurgevich. She said it seems like people are collecting money from squatters to get them into an abandoned home, and then telling them a bank will pay them to move out at some point. Squatters won’t get paid to leave, Gurgevich said, “but you might be arrested.” All told, it’s possible that some squatters have been duped into renting a home that wasn’t theirs to occupy, Vaughn said. But after clearing dozens of properties across the city, he said, he hadn’t met one person who was victimized in moving to an abandoned house. “I just haven’t found that yet,” he said.

Investors and banks gun-shy about towers “Nobody in their right mind would build another high-rise here right now,” Keller Williams Realty agent Truman Fleming said. Real estate pros don’t view the lack of high-rise development as a bad thing. Condo prices aren’t as high as they used to be, crimping developers’ revenue and ability to book a profit and repay construction loans. Banks, meanwhile, collapsed nationwide during the recession under bad real estate deals, and they aren’t nearly as willing to finance a tower anymore.

High-rise housing wasn’t new to Las Vegas last decade. Regency Towers, apparently the first high-rise condo complex in town, opened in the 1970s at the Las Vegas Country Club. But with easy credit sloshing around for developers and homebuyers alike, Las Vegas’ fast growth turned white-hot. Housing tracts, condo buildings, office parks, shopping centers and other projects were built valley-wide at a rapid pace. Property values soared, investors flipped homes — and would-be developers laid out plans for dozens of high-rises. Supporters called it the “Manhattanization” of Las Vegas. “Have you ever thought about what it would be like to live in Manhattan?” Richard Lee, then-public relations director at First American Title Co. of Nevada, and a vocal proponent of the high-rise boom, told a business conference in early 2004. Fifty residential and commercial high-rise projects, comprising 82 towers, had been announced or were on the drawing board in the Las Vegas area by summer 2004, the Las Vegas Sun reported. The tally included 44 condo towers. “We’re talking to experienced people from Chicago, New York and London,” Lee said at the time. “They look at this market and say it is just ripe, it is perfect, and it is next.” Celebrities such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Jessica Simpson and Tobey Maguire reportedly bought high-rise units here, and developers held lavish sales parties and doled out pricey gifts. Stark, of Elite Realty, said she went to a party with caged tigers, got a monogrammed bathrobe at another function, and saw half-dressed people dripping with chocolate at Continued on page 15

yet another. “The more (gifts) we got, the more we knew the project wouldn’t get off the ground,” she said. nnn
It didn’t take long for people to notice that planned projects far outweighed what was actually being constructed. “All we’ve got to go on right now is what the sales managers are telling us,” housing analyst Larry Murphy said in spring 2004. “Other than (a few projects), none of them have been built.” Plans for more towers kept coming, but by 2006 some projects had been canceled. Eventually, when the bubble burst and the recession clobbered Las Vegas harder than almost any other metro area, the high-rise market collapsed with the valley’s economy. Condo towers that got built were hit with foreclosures, litigation and plunging sales totals, but overall, most planned high-rises never materialized. “It’s been an interesting few years,” Lee told the Las Vegas Re-
view-Journal in 2010. “How things changed. We had the fastest-growing city in the nation. Now we’re No. 1 in foreclosures.” The carcass of one abandoned high-rise project still sits in southwest Las Vegas: Spanish View Tower. Planned as three 18-story towers during the bubble years, the project site today is little more than a giant, fenced-off hole in the ground with a partially built parking garage. In early 2006, developer Rodney Yanke said in a news release that the 15-acre project at Buffalo Drive and the 215 Beltway would “surpass anything Las Vegas has seen” and be “the foundation for high-rise living” in the Western U.S. The news release noted it would take almost 437 million 1-ounce jars of caviar to equal the 27.3 million pounds of cement that workers poured for the foundation, the completion of which was “a clear signal” that the project was “well on its way to reality.” But construction stopped that year, and creditors filed papers in 2007 to force the project into bankruptcy.
“Nobody in their right mind would build another high-rise here right now.” — Truman Fleming, agent with Keller Williams Realty
In fall 2007, creditors alleged in a court filing that Yanke — whose other ventures included DWG International, a multi-level marketing company that sells “waterless” carwash products — used project money for his 7,200-square-foot house in Las Vegas. He also used project funds for luxury cars and to pay for a captain for his 55-foot boat, called “Squirt the Dirt,” in Tampa, Fla., the filing claimed. Yanke had “no experience building any kind of high-rise condominium project,” and when his promises of imminent project financing fell through, he always blamed some kind of “massive fraud” that had been perpetrated against him, the filing claimed. Yanke could not be reached for
comment for this story. Real estate broker and investor Jack Woodcock — also a Spanish View lender — acquired the site through foreclosure in 2012. He’s trying to sell it for $18.9 million. Woodcock said a Chinese development company was under contract the past two years to buy the property, but the deal recently fell through. Some $30 million worth of work was put into the site a decade ago, he said, and if built, the towers could lure people from single-family houses, as project plans have called for large condos. Yanke planned to offer units ranging from 1,835 to 9,500 square feet. “The demand for this kind of project still exists,” Woodcock said. Stark, for one, said high-rises were bound to get built during the housing boom amid Las Vegas’ then-soaring population growth and skyrocketing land prices. And now, with the supply of developable land shrinking, she said, towers could rise again. “Eventually,” she said, “the vertical growth will be inevitable.” Staff librarian Rebecca Clifford-Cruz contributed research to this report.
