Village Road Show of Australia is building a 36,000-square-foot, eight-screen theater with reclining Lear jet-style seats. A residential component is planned for 340 condos on top of retail, similar to The District at Green Valley Ranch Resort.

The site required $5 million in infrastructure work to divert water from a drainage channel into a reinforced concrete box culvert, said Pat Henderson, president of Hardstone Construction. The general contractor is a subsidiary of Executive Home Builders. Another $5 million was spent on 35 feet of mass excavation for the parking garage.

Hardstone has worked on the project for more than 400 days without a lost-time injury, he said. About 170 workers are on site daily and that number will ramp up to more than 1,000 at the height of construction.

"There's an industrywide challenge that exists in Clark County to get top-quality labor while competing with other major construction projects for the same labor pool," Henderson said. "We think we've been successful with the manpower we accumulated in various trades. They're top performers."

IDB, the Israeli investment group behind the Frontier hotel acquisition on the Strip, is a partner with Executive Home Builders on both One Queensridge Place and Village at Queensridge.

Irene Porter Street signs were dedicated Thursday in Desert Wind Home's Centennial Crossing subdivision on Centennial Parkway, west of Simmons Street.

Porter, a native of Fargo, N.D., came to Las Vegas in 1954 when her father was transferred to Nellis Air Force Base. She is a graduate of Rancho High School.

Also, the board summarily suspended licenses for Maya LLC, doing business as Avante Homes; RL Homes; and Whitewater Pools of Las Vegas. Multiple money-owing complaints were received on each company.
