LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Exterior fencing has blown into the property, exposed siding is starting to erode, metal wall panels are laying out on the sidewalk and it’s at odds with where business owners are in building Henderson’s next great chapter.
The Watermark was on the minds of some at the Water Street District Business Association meeting at the Little Chapel at the Corner, and Yvonne Wallace, co-owner of Pacific Diner, pointed out the high rise’s exposed elevator shaft could be seen from the meeting.
“I just hope that whatever is going on with the building is able to get worked out,” she said. “We want people walking down on Water Street—we want it to be the destination of choice.”
Wallace’s restaurant, Pacific Diner, is still planned to go inside The Watermark but she and her husband said they don’t know the project’s new timeline since Gillette workers walked off the job in December of last year.
“I think it’s been four months since we’ve gotten an update,” Wallace said. “We called Gillette and wanted an update from them, so we sent an email to both saying, ‘Hey, what’s going on?’’”
