The Port of Nevada, along with its construction partner ARCO National Construction, announced it has completed significant construction progress on its new industrial building.
The project, owned and developed by IRG, is a 238,680 square foot industrial building that will be part of the 224-acres inland port operation and intermodal ramp in Northern Nevada. Officials said the project has completed significant milestones, including ground grading, foundation laying and concrete tilt walls being erected. The completion of those efforts signals the completion of the initial construction efforts as officials ready the space for occupancy later this year.
“The vision for the Port of Nevada is coming to life, fulfilling our mission to provide a more efficient, reliable, and environmentally sensitive way to transport goods,” said Justin Lichter, Chief Investment Officer of IRG. “Between supply chain and weather-related challenges in the region, the project provides a needed solution to keep businesses moving.”
The new building will feature 25 loading docks. 4 drive-in ramps, 104 trailer stalls and 143 parking spots, as well as height and width spacing to accommodate delivery. The site is situated along U.S. Highway 50, about 40 minutes from Reno. With 5 – 80 acres available for future development, the facility is positioned for growth, officials said.
Owned and developed by IRG, the new building will feature 25 loading docks, 4 drive-in ramps, up to 32′ clear height, 50′ x 54′ column spacing, 104 trailer stalls, and 143 parking spots. The site sits along U.S. Highway 50 and is 40 minutes from Reno. With 5 – 80 acres available for future development and the potential to establish an FTZ, it has excellent infrastructure for growth.
Transporting nearly 300,000 tons of freight in 2025, The Port of Nevada’s on-site transload business has been able to increase efficiencies for its customers and help stabilize the regional supply chain. The service provides intermodal cargo connectivity from the Port of Oakland along Union Pacific’s reliable rail network.
“Companies looking to utilize the new building or construct a custom build to suit facilities on site gain a distinct advantage in their supply chain by utilizing the rail heavyweight corridors,” Lichter said. “This means direct access to rail allows them to max out the container weights and avoid accessorial charges associated with conventional trucking methods. The right user could see over 30 percent savings in their supply chain cost.”
