Q3 Industrial Market Report Now Available

The third quarter of 2013 in the industrial market was exceptional here in Northern Nevada. The absorption of industrial space in the Reno-Sparks market in the third quarter — 1.8 million square feet — was more than five times greater than absorption in the same quarter last year. 

Bargains have nearly disappeared as the vacancy rate in industrial properties stands at 10.5 percent.  That's nearly a 2% drop in vacancy rates.  There were 9 transactions of more than 95,000 square feet.

So while we don't want to get too carried away, 2013 has continued to reward our cautious optimism in the industrial market.  The fourth quarter is a bit more concerning with governmental activity creating some skepticism on when and where to grow.  But right now, we will continue our optimism for Northern Nevada and the rebound we're seeing.  Good for the economy.  Good for jobs.  Good for Northern Nevada.

NAI Alliance Industrial Team Represents Tenant - Ardagh Group - in Largest User Transaction Thus Far in 2013

Luxembourg-based Ardagh Group recently secured the $11.5 Million purchase of property at 900 Waltham Way, McCarran, NV in the Tahoe Reno Industrial Center. Dave Simonsen, CCIM, SIOR; J. Michael Hoeck, SIOR; and Michael Nevis, CCIM of the NAI Industrial Properties Team represented Ardagh Group in this transaction. 

The purchase includes the acquisition of an existing 330,000 square foot Class A manufacturing facility and two 18 acre parcels on the east and west side of the building for future expansion. Ardagh Group had looked at 37 facilities in three (3) states before deciding on the new location in Northern Nevada. 

The move will bring approximately 140 technical jobs to Northern Nevada throughout the next five years, including 72 jobs within the first six months. In addition to job stimulus for the area, Ardagh will have a total capital investment of close to $80 Million - $20 Million dedicated to building retrofitting and an additional $60 Million for equipment and installation. They’re expecting to produce nearly 3 Million cans per day from the state-of-the-art, advanced manufacturing facility beginning in January 2014. 

Ardagh Group is a global leader in glass and metal packaging solutions for most of the world’s leading food, beverage and consumer brands. Ardagh Group generates $5.5 billion in worldwide sales and produces 32 billion containers annually for such customers as Coca-Cola, ConAgra, InBev and Bumble Bee Foods. The company has operations in 25 countries and employs 18,000 people in more than a hundred facilities. 

The company’s U.S. metal packaging operations are based in Carnegie, Pa. In addition to the new facility in McCarran, NV, the company has facilities in Bloomsburg, PA, Weirton, WV, Conklin, NY, Terminal Island, CA, and the recently announced expansion in Roanoke, VA.
