Wynn Resorts Partners with Crown Acquisitions to Develop and Operate Retail Offerings at Wynn Las
Vegas
The joint venture will lease and develop the all-new Wynn Plaza and existing luxury retail space at Wynn Las
Vegas
Wynn Resorts (WYNN) and Crown Acquisitions signed an agreement to form a joint venture to own and operate the premier luxury
retail space at Wynn Las Vegas. Under the terms of the agreement and subject to certain customary conditions to closing, Crown will
pay $472 million in gross proceeds in two installments. Crown will pay Wynn the first payment of $292 million at closing, which is
expected to be in 2016 or early 2017, for its 49.9% interest in a portion of Wynn Las Vegas' owned and leased retail, representing
a 4.7% capitalization rate. Wynn will receive the second fixed payment of $180 million following the completion of Wynn Plaza in
2017. On a combined basis, Wynn expects the sale of a 49.9% interest in its retail operations to represent a capitalization-rate
range of 4.5 to 5.0%. The joint venture will own approximately 88,233 square feet of existing retail space at Wynn and Encore Las
Vegas plus the 72,851 square foot Wynn Plaza currently under construction at Wynn Las Vegas. Wynn Resorts will act as the managing
member and maintain 50.1% ownership of the newly formed retail joint venture.
