Last week I wrote about the commercial development expansion in SW Henderson and today it was announced yet another commercial development is in the books.

Haas Automation, based in Oxnard California is expanding to Henderson. Hass Automation purchased 279 acres just south of the Henderson Executive Airport, just west of the Inspirada housing development. This sale by the City of Henderson closed on Friday.

Developing the land will start in April with construction to be completed in late 2022. Haas Automation, sells products in more than 100 countries through dozens of distributors and booked more than $1.2 billion in sales last year, its owner wrote in a January letter to the city of Henderson.

The plans state they will be building 4.3 million sq ft of commercial space which would include a 2.3 million sq ft manufacturing plant and other buildings that would be sold or leased to other companies.

I personally think added industry will drive up local home prices to support new jobs and those relocating from California. Since winter is a slow selling season, this would be a great time to buy a house or condo in the area before prices go up over the next couple of years.
