CALV renovates homeless youth facility

Volunteers from the Commercial Alliance Las Vegas (CALV) and its partners will team up on April 27 to renovate and beautify the drop-in center for the Nevada Partnership for Homeless Youth at 4981 Shirley St.

CALV is also organizing a donation drive to collect and deliver items needed by NPHY. This is the latest example of CALV’s ongoing support for the local nonprofit dedicated to helping homeless youth in Southern Nevada.

Last fall, CALV donated $2,500 to NPHY, funding the donation by selling tickets to its fall networking mixer. Last spring, members of CALV, Las Vegas Realtors and other local real estate organizations teamed up to help NPHY by delivering donations and volunteering to renovate residences that house local teens it serves. More than 40 volunteers assembled furniture and helped renovate several of NPHY’s housing units.

In addition to CALV and LVR, local chapters of real estate organizations supporting this cause include the Nevada Appraisal Institute; BOMA (Building Owners and Managers Association); Southern Nevada CCIM (Certified Commercial Investment Member); CREW (Commercial Real Estate Women); IREM (Institute of Real Estate Management); NAIOP Southern Nevada; Nevada State Apartment Association (NVSAA); and SIOR (Society of Industrial and Office Realtors).

The Commercial Alliance Las Vegas (CALV) is the commercial real estate division of Las Vegas Realtors. One of the largest organizations in Southern Nevada for commercial real estate professionals, it organizes and empowers the industry through education, networking, promoting professionalism and shaping public policy. Membership in CALV is open to Realtors and non-Realtors. For more information, visit calv.org.

NPHY is the most comprehensive service provider for the thousands of young people experiencing homelessness in the community, providing access to life-changing services for homeless youth 24 hours a day at virtually every street corner in Southern Nevada. Visit NPHY.org.

Platinum to build floating docks in Lake Las Vegas

Platinum Contracting of Nevada, an Inc. 5000 company, is making waves in the desert as construction is now underway on a series of all-season floating docks for Shoreline, a waterfront enclave at The Island in Lake Las Vegas.

As a preferred dock installer, Platinum has begun installing permanent and removable floating docks for exclusive lakeside homes. Each build-out provides direct access from the residence to the community’s 320-acre lake via boat, paddle board, surfboard, kayak or canoe.

“Helping to make lakeside living a reality in the Las Vegas desert has allowed us to showcase our versatility and commitment to advancing the local community,” said Dean Gettman, CEO of Platinum Contracting of Nevada. “With every dock installed, we not only enhance the community’s environmental surroundings and aesthetic but also nurture a lifestyle for future Shoreline residents to enjoy.”

Upon completion, the floating docks will service residents of the Shoreline community that makes up a portion of Lake Las Vegas’ The Island. The modular docks vary in size with options for both functional and luxury customization, including hammocks, ladders, storage and shape.

“The opportunities that the Las Vegas Valley provides for its residents, local businesses and entrepreneurs is unparalleled,” Gettman said. “To not only install but specialize in water docks in the middle of the desert truly shows that our city is limitless in what it has to offer.”

Platinum has several other ongoing and completed dock projects throughout the lakeside community. The projects entail the repair, build and preservation of new and existing docks, in addition to the installment of anchors, gangways, abutments and seawalls. The award-winning general contractor also specializes in underground utility installations, grading and excavation.
