Construction has begun on three new private aviation hangars at Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) in Las Vegas, as the airport’s general aviation facilities are redeveloped to provide additional capacity for corporate aircraft.
SR Aviation Infrastructure, a subsidiary of New York- and Nashville, Tennessee-based real estate investment and development firm SomeraRoad, is developing the project on Reno Avenue, adjacent to the Las Vegas Strip. The scheme comprises three 25,000-square-foot hangars, giving a combined total of 75,000 square feet. Each building will be capable of accommodating up to six moderately sized corporate aircraft.
| Project detail | Announcement |
|---|---|
| Developer | SR Aviation Infrastructure |
| Airport | Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) |
| New facilities | Three 25,000-square-foot hangars |
| Expected completion | First quarter of 2028 |
| Aircraft capacity | Up to six moderately sized corporate aircraft per hangar |
Redevelopment of an existing complex
The development will replace 14 of the 37 existing hangars across part of the airport’s 23-acre complex. Once the work is complete, the site is expected to contain 26 individually leased aviation hangars with a combined area of about 315,000 square feet. The facilities will all have direct runway access.
Financial terms have not been disclosed. SR Aviation Infrastructure president Jonathon Reeser said the project was intended to update infrastructure dating from 1985 and accommodate a range of users, including corporations, high-net-worth individuals, government users and AirMed operators.
“It’s for what we call general aviation to accommodate larger scale private jets that either corporations use, high-net-worth individuals and even government uses. We also have some AirMed users. So it’s really just upgrading infrastructure that was built in 1985 to today’s modern era.”
Reeser told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that demand for hangar space had been supported by several developments in the Las Vegas market:
- an expansion in corporate business flying to and from the city;
- increased attendance at leisure events by corporate executives;
- the arrival of major sporting activity and related corporate travel; and
- the need for additional facilities as the airport’s terminal and ramp areas are improved.
Capacity linked to corporate travel
Harry Reid International Airport is described by Reeser as the sixth busiest airport in the United States. The airport’s general aviation requirements are also being shaped by Las Vegas’ growing sports profile: the city is close to becoming home to three Major League sports franchises, with the possibility of a fourth if the National Basketball Association expands into Southern Nevada.
The new hangars are scheduled for completion in the first quarter of 2028. The project will therefore add aircraft storage and operating space within the existing airport estate rather than establish a separate general aviation site, while the wider complex continues its redevelopment.
