An Incomparable Tribute

Vernon in Illinois has paid Las Vegas in Nevada, a compliment like no other!
CDW, a $ 6 billion Fortune 500 company headquartered in Vernon, has chosen Las Vegas for its Western Distribution Center: this warehouse, which is more than 500 thousand square feet in area, is even bigger than CDW’s facility in its home base!

The choice reflects the many business advantages of Las Vegas. It has excellent connections with the entire United States, and with major international markets as well. Nevada is a magnet for skilled labor and top professionals, and this makes Las Vegas suitable for high-technology operations as we required for logistics.

DP Partners, a developer firm from Reno, Nevada has had this enormous facility up and running in less than a year from ground breaking. This is a powerful demonstration of the State’s excellence in providing the entire infrastructure for realty development. CDW’s new warehouse is located in LogistiCenter at North Las Vegas’s business estate. The latter is spread over more than a hundred acres, and meets the most exacting standards. The CDW behemoth covers more than 10 acres of LogistiCenter. It incorporates the latest building technology and contains more than three million pounds of steel, 50 miles of recessed wiring and 7 miles of conveyor belts.

CDW is certified by the International Standards Organization for quality. The company takes pride in shipping approved orders for products in stock on the same day. It has an amazing 97% success rate in meeting this tough standard. The Las Vegas warehouse is designed to handle almost 100 thousand outbound cases a day! Consider the enormous number of products CDW handles, and it will give a feel for the sophistication of the operation. Clearly, the Las Vegas location will help CDW meet the incredible standards of customer service for which it is known.

The best and most professionally managed companies are moving in to Las Vegas in droves because all of Nevada has such a business-friendly attitude. You may argue that Las Vegas has a geographic advantage, but then so do neighboring States. Systematic planning has made Las Vegas suitable for efficient business operations, and it does not hurt that employees and their families love to be based here! Many enterprises have discovered that they can attract better talent in key positions through their Las Vegas operations, though housing for low level jobs can prove to be scarce.

Nevada’s friendly tax regime is another factor that weighs in favor of firms which choose to do business here. Las Vegas can be a significant competitive advantage for enterprises from all sectors of the economy, and the greater metropolitan area has clear zoning for industrial parks that combine convenience with relevant environmental concerns. Newcomers and first timers are amazed at how easy and quick it is to commute here, though no smokestacks ever disturb the air quality of residential and retail neighborhoods. Las Vegas commercial and industrial realty sets new standards for other industrial complexes to follow. It is a nearly ideal base for the best run companies anywhere.
