Marnell Properties has announced construction of its new 19-acre Air Cargo Center at McCarran International Airport, is on-schedule and is expected to open in early October 2010.
The $29 million, 200,000sqft facility consists of a single story building designed with freight forwarders and distribution companies in mind, although the space will also be highly adaptable, explains David Simard, senior vice president of Marnell Properties.
"This new facility offers a level of customisation that in itself is quite unique," says Simard. "The air cargo industry is one of high-technology - different tenants need very specific layouts, custom floors and a variety of other components to get the maximum efficiency from their space. We're tailoring each suite to fill those needs."
The company has already completed the first of three buildings comprising the Marnell Airport Center, a master-planned office development complex on approximately 14 acres of land adjacent to the airport which houses the Clark County Department of Aviation.
In addition, Marnell Properties has also completed the majority of the McCarran Marketplace, a 75-acre retail marketplace housing tenants such as Walmart, Lowe's, PetSmart and Office Depot.
