Las Vegas Industrial Property Demand

Las Vegas industrial property demand has decreased, due to the overall economic conditions around the country, with fewer companies expanding or relocating to the Las Vegas and southern Nevada areas.  The industrial market has started to feel the effects of a declining real estate market.  The number of Las Vegas industrial buildings currently under construction is down from the 6.5 million square feet in 2007, which is the result of the short term concern over more supply than demand.

Signs of a Strong Las Vegas Leasing Market

Las Vegas industrial leasing is strong, with several major tenants having signed long term leasing on large warehouse buildings.  Analysts expect to see the absorption of this industrial space during the next year; the construction of new industrial buildings has stopped temporarily, due to costs and lack of available financing.
