Today, the Sahara Towne Square owner filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and reorganization.

The shopping center is located at Sahara Avenue and Maryland Parkway, with a Smith’s grocery store in the area as well. The owner of the Sahara Towne Square is Desert Lakes Apartments.

Within the shopping center there is All Discount Vacuum & Sewing, Cemondel’s Bakery Shop, China Star, Jack In The Box, Koster Finance, Los Toritos Grill, Mail Boxes Etc., Metro PCS, Nail Craze, Beauty Supply Warehouse, Office 7 Lounge, Super Cuts, the Original Thai BBQ and as well as doctors’ and dentists’ offices.

According to the bankruptcy filing, the center generated nearly $1.6 million last year. On paper, assets are valued at $13.8 million. Sahara Towne Square owes nearly $9.6 million to U.S. Bank.

The bankruptcy seemed to be perfectly timed, as it was filed just in time to block a hearing that was planned for Thursday in the Clark County District Court. Thursday’s hearing was to ask the court to appoint a receiver to take over, as well as supervise the property. Since the bankruptcy filing has already happened, Thursday’s hearing will likely be cancelled.

In the event that a deal can not be reached in Bankruptcy Court, U.S. Bank will have to petition the court for permission to complete its foreclosure.
