Tivoli Village at Queensridge
Executives cut the ribbon today on the first phase of the $850 million Tivoli Village at Queensridge in the western Las Vegas Valley, officially opening the European-style development.
Tivoli opened with 15 stores and restaurants, which is half of the stores planned for Phase 1 of the project. Developers plan to have 30 retailers when the first phase is complete during the winter.
The multi-use development includes 225,000 square feet of retail space and restaurants, and about 145,000 square feet of office space. Tivoli Village Executive Vice President Patrick Done said 54 percent of the office space and 72 percent of the retail space has been leased.
Businesses opening today include Brio Tuscan Grille, a Land Rover dealership and new-to-the-market retailers like Charming Charlie’s accessory store, Obika eyewear and a gallery by photographer Bobby Wheat.
Opening this summer will be a gourmet hamburger joint, a high-end gym, a martini bar, Greek restaurant and medical spa.
"The goal is to be everything to everybody," Done said. "Our retailers will be blend of all price points."
Next, developers will turn their focus to construction of the second phase of Tivoli Village, which will include a 300,000-square-foot indoor retail and entertainment facility with a movie theater. That phase is expected to be finished in time for the 2012 holiday shopping season.
Across Alta Drive sits an empty plot of land where Tivoli developers recently submitted plans to build an additional 750,000-square-foot indoor mall and 100 condominiums with a completion date sometime in 2015.

We went to the AFAN charity event at the new Brio at Tivoli Village last night, which was the soft opening for both the restaurant and mall. Absolutely beautiful, this new retail/commercial space should be a fantastic success for the developer (and tenants). Great job!
Don't like to sound negative but we don't need another upscale burger place , Steak or more office space. I give this 1 year and it will be like the one in Henderson. It just like the housing situation . They keep building new developments and we have thousands of foreclosed ,short sale and non distressed homes for sale.
countdown to bankruptcy--can't believe these idiots are building more retail space when there is 17 years worth of empty commercial property sitting idol. These arrogant people will never stop building even in the face of the biggest turndown in the vegas economy in 30 years. good luck--but it won't help with this disaster--this should be renamed city center west, or titanic 2.
I also went to admire the the masonry and open air architecture both restaurants were filled to capacity the stonework was neat and uncomplicated, geometric patterns that drew your eyes outward more like floors found indoors the mosaic inlays on the external facade of the Tuscan style store front near the entrance colorful and smooth live music many different languages and Hebrew speaking security that made me feel welcome and safe the weather was perfect for a day outside cool bell tower.
I am relatively curious who the Architect of the Complex to take credit, no where in the article is the Architect mentioned. The design concept appears more of Lifestyle with an open mall theme. One does not necessary need the Nordstrom, Macy's or other major DS still out there to make this environment lively. The architecture is rough but done elegantly and in context with lively materials. I am an Architect by profession & am used to producing similar complexes in my earlier days. Great space good luck to all specially the architect.
