Understanding the Starbucks Tenant Retail Lease Extension

Starbucks, an original tenant since 2005, demonstrated its commitment to this Summerlin commercial space by executing a 10-year retail lease extension two years ahead of schedule. This strategic move was driven by Starbucks’ plans for a significant investment in remodeling the store’s floor plan. The early extension, set to begin in March 2026, ensures Starbucks’ long-term presence at Pueblo Place while allowing for immediate improvements to enhance customer experience in this prime Summerlin location.

The current term for the Starbucks lease was set to expire in March 2026. With this early renewal, Starbucks has extended its commitment to the location until March 2036, securing a prime spot in the Summerlin retail landscape for an additional decade. This long-term commitment not only ensures continued foot traffic for Pueblo Place but also significantly enhances the overall value of the property.
