Indianapolis, Indiana-based Scannell Properties, a privately-owned real estate development and investment company, announced in April that it reached a milestone on construction, with pouring the concrete slab and preparation of wall panels at its 338,520-square-foot industrial facility in North Las Vegas.
The Lincoln Business Center industrial project at 3910 Alto Ln., near Cheyenne Avenue and Walnut Road, will feature a 32-foot clear height and 70 trailer parking spaces, 62 dock doors and four drive doors. The facility is planned for completion in August 2017.
“We’re excited seeing the progress Arco Construction has made and appreciate our new relationship with Clark County,” said Daniel Madrigal, development manager, Scannell Properties, Minneapolis Office. “North Las Vegas is an ideal location for growing companies looking for efficient western operations. Its two-day delivery time to major markets, access to labor, and Nevada’s competitive tax abatement programs makes it prime real estate for distribution or manufacturing facilities.”
The Larkin Industrial Group at NAI Vegas has been retained by Scannell as the leasing agent.
Scannell works on commercial build-to-suit and speculative development projects across the U.S. and Canada.
