VANCOUVER, British Columbia, January 24, 2020 – Nicola Wealth Real Estate recently acquired a large multi-tenant industrial portfolio, comprised of 276,443 sf on 17 acres located just off the Las Vegas strip. The Nicola Wealth Real Estate team sees long term opportunity in this portfolio, the industrial asset class, and the Las Vegas area.
Located in close proximity to the new NFL Las Vegas Raiders Allegiant Stadium and the McCarran International Airport, this industrial portfolio comprises 13 buildings spread over three adjacent properties in a market with a low vacancy rate environment. This portfolio is well positioned for stable cash flow and is 98% leased to a diverse roster of small to medium bay tenants. The current in-place rents are 10% below the market average affording the opportunity for near term upside in income growth.
We acquired this industrial portfolio with a long term investment horizon,” says Mark Hannah, Managing Director – Nicola Wealth Real Estate, “this is our first acquisition in the Las Vegas market which helps establish a foothold to complement our strategy to build an industrial portfolio through acquisition and build to own to accompany our Nicola US Real Estate Fund.
A strong US economy has contributed to booming e-commerce, third-party logistics and last mile delivery fuelling the need for more industrial inventory. There is a general shortage of industrial space in Las Vegas and considering the recent decline in new construction, rent growth is expected to increase in a supply-constrained environment.
Las Vegas is an attractive investment market which is underpinned by a low vacancy rate, strong tenant demand and rental rate growth. The Nicola Wealth Real Estate team will continue to build on their position in this market to complement other target markets such as Denver, Phoenix and Seattle to further expand their real estate portfolio in the US.
