26-year-old worker who fell to his death identified

The man who fell to his death while working at the under-construction Shops at Summerlin has been identified.

Mark Brian Lovett, 26, of Henderson, fell around 8:45 a.m. Tuesday from the Howard Hughes Corp. project.

The 1.6 million-square-foot Shops at Summerlin is being developed on a 106-acre retail and commercial site along the Las Vegas Beltway south of Red Rock Resort.

Renamed from Summerlin Centre, the Shops at Summerlin is slated to feature 125 shops and a nine-story office building. It’s scheduled to open in late 2014.

Construction on the center was halted in 2008 when its original owner, General Growth Properties, underwent a Chapter 11 bankruptcy because of the recession. The Howard Hughes Corp. is the current developer of the estimated $1 billion project.

OSHA is investigating the accident.
