The Spanish Ridge Industrial Park is a state of the art industrial complex outfitted with move-in-ready improvements as CapRock welcomes its new tenants effective in the second quarter. CapRock is currently negotiating with several potential tenants for the remaining space.
Strategically located at 5425 and 5365 S. Riley Street and 8875 W. Hacienda Avenue, Spanish Ridge Industrial Park is less than 1,000 feet from NV-215 and less than seven miles from I-15, providing easy access to major local and regional transport routes.

CapRock completed the project with five approximately 2,000 square feet of speculative offices and warehouse evaporative coolers in each building.
“Recently completed, well-located projects such as the Tropical Logistics Center Phase II and the Spanish Ridge Industrial Park are benefiting from limited supply of new industrial developments in Las Vegas and continued high demand from tenants,” said John Farris, co-founder and president. CapRock partners. “Las Vegas is an important logistics hub east of the Southern California port markets, aided by the city’s strategic position in the Western US supply chain and the ability to serve approximately 20% of the US population within a day’s drive. CapRock remains optimistic about this market and is committed to building new strategic best-in-class industrial warehouses that support the development of logistics in the western US.”
Southern Nevada offers significant barriers to entry into the new “big box” industrial real estate market due to the limited availability of industrial land larger than five acres. In addition to the mountain ranges on the west, east and north sides of the Las Vegas Valley, more than 80% of the state’s land is under the control of the Bureau of Land Management, making it difficult for new developers to find suitable sites. construction.
The industrial market of Las Vegas for the second year in a row shows growth in demand that exceeds supply. With over 8 million square feet of rental activity and a 30 percent increase in average asking rent in 2022, MSA is one of the strongest and fastest growing markets in the country, according to JLL. As of Q4 2022, the total vacancy rate in Las Vegas was 2.6%, while the North Las Vegas submarket vacancy rate was 2.3%.
