Now, 30 years after American Nevada Company broke ground on Southern Nevada’s first master-planned community, there are still plenty of opportunities for growth in the jewel of Henderson. Many know the story of Hank Greenspun, the founder of American Nevada Company. He first began the 8,400-acre Green Valley master- planned project in 1978. Three decades later, it continues to expand and grow with the booming popula- tion of Southern Nevada. Residential communities developed by the com- pany include Seven Hills, Green Val- ley and Green Valley Ranch. In essence, Greenspun’s vision trans- formed the City of Henderson and Southern Nevada. One of the area’s newest develop- ments in the northern part of Green Valley is the HBizctr at Whitney Mesa located at 1820 Whitney Mesa Drive. The 98,498-square-foot flexible office and industrial park is an upscale, se- cure and quiet space, perfect for exec- utives. The multi-building park offers custom spaces ranging from well-ap- pointed 2,600-square-foot suites to 36,000-square-foot industrial sites. “It’s really designed to boost the economy,” said Bridget Richards, owner of New Growth Commercial and broker for HBizctr. “We mostly sell to Henderson-based business- owners who have been leasing but are now successful enough to take their business to the next level and own their own space.” Henderson 2008 7 Another great in-fill project in Hen- see wanting a project like this,” Scher- centers like The District to a vibrant derson also boasts one of its highest er said. “This community has the right business corridor, there’s something buildings.

The 94-acre Green Valley Corporate Center is an example of the growing amount of office space in Green Valley South, stretching all the way to the Black Mountain foothills near the 3,200-acre MacDonald Highlands master-planned community. While the first Corporate Center building went up in 1995, today American Nevada continues to build-out. Currently, the company is constructing the 6th build- ing in the center, which is a four-story 134,400-square-foot office space. Completion is set for May 2008. The company also plans to apply for certi- fication by the national Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program. In addition to the Corporate Center, American Nevada is developing the 90-acre Green Valley Corporate Center South on Paseo Verde Parkway. One of the unique things about Henderson is the quality of develop- ers who are attracted to the area.
