A New York-based development firm has broken ground on a 75,000-square-foot private aviation project at Harry Reid International Airport. SR Aviation Infrastructure, a subsidiary of SomeraRoad, is building three 25,000-square-foot hangars on Reno Avenue adjacent to the Las Vegas Strip. The project will replace 14 of the 37 existing hangars on the 23-acre complex.
Company president Jonathon Reeser said the expansion addresses surging demand driven by corporate travel, major sporting events, and convention business. "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," Reeser said. "We also have some AirMed users there. So it's really just upgrading infrastructure that was built in 1985 to today's modern era."
Las Vegas' evolution into a three-major-league-sports market has intensified the need for hangar space. "You're a three-sports-team town now and a lot of corporate users are using that airport to promote their business," Reeser said. "And, it's the sixth busiest airport in the country." He added that California-based demand is significant due to tax considerations, while the region's extreme summer heat also drives aircraft owners to seek indoor storage.
The new hangars are expected to be completed by the first quarter of 2028. When finished, the redeveloped complex will comprise 26 individually leased hangars totaling about 315,000 square feet, all with direct runway access. Reeser said one lease has already been signed and there is significant interest in the remaining two buildings. The project aligns with Clark County's ongoing terminal and ramp improvements on the airport's west side.
