Cashman Moves Its HQ

Major Development Nearby
Cashman Equipment Company, one of the largest construction equipment merchants in North America, has begun improving the land between Maryland Parkway and Spencer Street, south of Cactus Avenue. According to the website acppubs.com, “Cashman Equipment Company has made its move to Henderson official by breaking ground on its new corporate headquarters.” The article goes on to say, “The seven building campus will be LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold Certified.” This means that South Las Vegas Valley will see a large, eco-friendly, business in operation by this time next year.

Cashman Equipment Company purchased this, vacant, 53.26 +/- acre lot from the City of Henderson in May 2007 for $28,650,000. Cashman Equipment Company’s plan to move its headquarters to Henderson came about, according to Tory Hendrickson, with Cashman Equipment Company, “When Clark County bought part of the existing compound (in North Las Vegas) for the new (I15) freeway expansion.” Hendrickson also told me, “They have been talking about the new building for a couple of years.”

Cashman Equipment Company’s new project has been LEED Gold certified by the United States Green Building Council. LEED is a rating system that has been around since the early 1990’s. LEED has evolved from retro-fitting existing buildings with state of the art heating and cooling systems to having entire complexes, such as Cashman Equipment Company’s Headquarters in Henderson, designed and constructed with high performance, green building standards and materials. Being LEED Certified not only promotes a healthy place to live and work, but it also qualifies the owners for tax rebates.
