North Las Vegas Is Finally on the Map: Apex Industrial Park

For years, North Las Vegas was like that one buddy who swears he’s got “big plans,” but nothing ever happens. Now? He’s showing up in a Lambo.

The Apex Industrial Park — yeah, that massive chunk of land off I-15 is finally delivering on the hype. We're talking 18,000 acres of industrial real estate gold. It took a couple decades to get going, but now it’s exploding. Companies are pouring in like it’s Black Friday. Crocs just started shipping out of a 1 million square-foot beast of a facility, and there’s a brand-new $250 million water system in place that recycles water right back into Lake Mead. Efficient and sustainable? That’s the kind of Vegas-level flex we love to see.

And Apex? It's not just big — it’s becoming the logistics and commercial hub for the entire region. We’re talking about Las Vegas ranking in the top 10 industrial development markets in the country. That’s not small potatoes.

Apex Industrial Park Breakdown: What’s Really Happening

Here’s the fast facts, no fluff:

• 18,000 acres total land — around 5,000 of that is prime for development
  
  
• 28.5 million sq. ft. of industrial space either done, in progress, or mapped out
  
  
• 5.5M sq. ft. finished
  
  
• 3.8M sq. ft. currently under construction
  
  
• 19.2M sq. ft. in the pipeline
  
  
• Location? Just 20 minutes north of Vegas via I-15, with easy access to US-11 and Union Pacific Rail
  
  
• Heavy hitters building it out: Prologis, Caprock, Hopewell, VanTrust, Prometheus Dev., and more
  
  

This thing is like the Avengers of commercial real estate.

Real Money, Real Infrastructure

We're not just talking buildings — North Las Vegas is pouring in serious infrastructure:

• $59M water line investment (public + private funding)
  
  
• $850M from SWNA to keep things moving
  
  
• NV Energy: Two substations live, five more on the way — they’re not playing around

Who’s Already in Apex?

Let’s name-drop some big players who’ve already made the move:

• Air Liquide: $200M facility producing 30 tons of hydrogen a day — enough to power 35,000 hydrogen cars
  
  
• Kroger (Smith's): 988,000 sq. ft. of distribution muscle
  
  
• HEYDUDE / Crocs: 1M sq. ft. warehouse now shipping those iconic clogs everywhere
  
  

What’s Coming Next?

This isn’t slowing down — it’s speeding up:

• Prologis: Just grabbed 879 acres for what’ll be their second-biggest U.S. project — 11 million square feet coming soon
  
  
• CapRock: Developing 1.48 million sq. ft. of new industrial space across 85 acres
  
  
• Vantage North: A 350-acre mega-logistics park that’s rolling out in phases, starting with Saddle Creek Logistics' 580,000 sq. ft.

The local government is streamlining permits and plugging in utilities fast, and jobs? We're looking at up to 70,000 new positions created over the next two decades.
