Pavilion, a 154,000-square foot, class A office building in the Summerlin area, earned top honors from the Southern Nevada chapter of National Association of Industrial and Office Properties(NAIOP) Spotlight Awards, including Office Building of the Year and Office Building Five-Plus story.

More than 800 Las Vegas area professionals attended the Spotlight Awards on March 8 at Green Valley Ranch Resort, where the awards were presented.

NAIOP?s Southern Nevada Chapter President, John Restrepo, who is president of Restrepo Consulting Group, said the winners represent the ?best of the best.?

Pavilion is located at 10801 W. Charleston Blvd. at Pavilion Center Drive. This Class A office space is part of Summerlin Centre, a 400-acre community being developed by The Howard Hughes Corp. The area surrounding Pavilion will include office buildings, condominiums, homes and shopping within close proximity to the I-215 Beltway.

KKE/Howard F. Thompson & Associates served as the architects and designers of the building and Whiting-Turner Contracting served as the general contractor. Pavilion features a variety of upscale features and amenities for tenants, along with ample covered parking.

Pavilion is the first office building development in the Summerlin area for Jason Awad of Charleston Pavilion LLC.

Awad said, ?We are proud to bring Pavilion to the master-planned Summerlin area as the first Class A office building in Summerlin Centre and we are looking forward to other projects in the Summerlin corridor. With this prestigious Building of the Year award, we feel we started off on a good note. We are also honored to be nominated in the company of such leaders as The Molasky Group.?

When planning Pavilion, Awad said it was important to ensure that the building complemented its surroundings. ?We used actual limestone rather than the typical effacing, which would have been less costly but not as environmentally friendly or attractive. We also looked carefully at the ecology of the site and used the most energy-efficent and aesthetically pleasing glass available.?

Awad said he wanted a first class atmosphere for tenants, with spectacular views of the city and the mountains, upscale designs and generous amenities.

?We hope this is a building the entire community is proud of and that this award will lend to a sense of energy and excitement for the employees who work at the building as well as their familes.?

Pavilion is a prestigious address ? with the "Who?s Who" of tenants, and Pavilion is just as beautiful on the inside as the outside, according to Awad. Tenants include City National Bank, UBS, TD Ameritrade, Colonial Life, Word & Brown and Avery Brooks & Associates, among others.

Gatski Commercial Real Estate Services holds the property management contract for the Pavilion building.

?We commend our client for the high standards they set at every stage of Pavilion?s development and their unwavering commitment to the project,? said Frank Gatski, CPM, CCIM, president of Gatski Commercial Real Estate Services.
