Aviation real estate developer High Flying Hangars (HFH) has won a request-for-proposal process for aircraft hangars at Nevada’s Boulder City Municipal Airport (KBVU). The Albuquerque, New Mexico-based company was selected by the city from among several applicants to develop a 40-acre parcel of land. Now, the two sides are negotiating a long-term lease agreement as plans move forward.
“The total acreage we have to work with at [KBVU] allows us to build a large number of hangars in a wide range of sizes to support the growing needs of local aircraft owners,” said HFH senior v-p of sales Lisa deFrees. She noted that designs under consideration range from 40 feet wide for piston singles up to 120 feet wide to shelter large-cabin business jets that KBVU’s 5,100-foot runway can accommodate. Also in the plan is a multi-use clubhouse for aircraft owners.
KBVU sits less than 20 miles from Las Vegas Harry Reid International Airport, and in addition to increasing hangar inventory in the market, the addition of the hangar complex is expected to spur an increase in fuel sales at Boulder City’s two FBOs.
“The Las Vegas metroplex will surely find in KBVU the land, vision, and leadership to provide the community with much-needed high-quality hangars for the owner-flown category of aircraft,” said HFH CEO Kenny Hinkes.
