Developers have built or are planning at least 36 projects in the west Henderson area, covering more than 1,000 acres and featuring nearly 6,900 homes.

When Charles Bombard built his house near Henderson Executive Airport more than 20 years ago, he was pretty much in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by open desert and some dirt roads.

There’s still plenty of vacant land near his 2-acre spread, but now developers are pursuing dozens of projects in the area.

“It’s getting nuts out there right now, to be quite honest with you,” Bombard said.

Located at the southern tip of the Las Vegas Valley, the west Henderson area is poised to be blanketed with construction sites. Developers are building, have finished in the past few years or have drawn up plans for a total of at least 36 projects, covering more than 1,000 acres and featuring nearly 6,900 homes, the Las Vegas Review-Journal found.

Big projects include a 600,000-plus-square-foot Amazon distribution center, the Raiders’ new practice center and headquarters, a planned 103-acre mixed-use development, a 54-acre retail plaza with Costco, and machine tool maker Haas Automation’s proposed $327.4 million manufacturing facility.

All told, the dozens of projects would pump hundreds of millions of dollars into a once-sleepy area that was supposed to grow before the economy crashed and lagged other parts of the valley as construction rebounded in recent years.
