Overview

Betting on the path of growth

Land is a bet on the path of growth. Value turns on entitlements, zoning, utilities and infrastructure, topography, and highest-and-best use — and a large share of developable Southern Nevada land is federally controlled, which shapes supply.

What drives value

  • Entitlements and zoning
  • Utilities and infrastructure access
  • Topography and offsite improvement costs
  • Highest-and-best use versus surrounding development

Lease & deal structure

  • Diligence on entitlements and environmental conditions
  • Offsite improvement costs can be significant
  • Federal land control affects supply and pricing
  • Timelines are longer and staged

Las Vegas market note

The Valley's growth corridors keep pushing outward, and well-located, entitled land remains a sought-after long-term play — though supply is shaped by federal land ownership.
