Las Vegas Welcomes New Costco Warehouse in Spring Valley
A new Costco warehouse is under construction in Southwest Las Vegas, slated to open in late 2025. The Clark County commissioners approved plans for the store in September 2023, and construction began earlier this year. The future warehouse will be situated at the corner of Buffalo Drive and Badura Avenue, conveniently located off I-215.
This new Costco will be the sixth location in the Las Vegas Valley, expanding the retailer’s presence in a region that currently boasts five existing stores. The Spring Valley Costco will cover over 157,000 square feet on a 23-acre lot, offering a range of amenities such as a pharmacy, optical center, tire center, and a gas station.
With the current Costco cardholders in Southwest Las Vegas often making trips to stores in Summerlin or Henderson for their shopping needs, the new location aims to provide a more accessible option. It will offer a variety of products including groceries, clothing, household items, and electronics.
In addition to enhancing local shopping options, the Spring Valley Costco is expected to create numerous job opportunities. Positions will range from entry-level jobs to management roles, benefiting the local workforce. Employees will enjoy comprehensive benefits, including health and dependent care reimbursement, as well as pharmacy, dental, and vision programs.
Details on Construction and Development
The development of the Spring Valley Costco represents the first new location in the Las Vegas Valley since 2018. The Clark County Building Department issued a building permit valued at approximately $26.3 million in March for its construction, along with an additional nearly $3.7 million permit for a new fuel canopy. Construction progress is reportedly moving quickly, with crews actively working on various components of the project.
Importantly, the project site is owned by Clark County, while a private company holds the ground lease and subleases the land to Costco. The approval from Clark County commissioners also included a signed development agreement that outlines contributions towards local public infrastructure.
Background Context
Costco is known for its membership-based warehouse model and operates over 800 locations globally. In the Las Vegas Valley, the establishment of the new Costco warehouse is anticipated to fill a critical gap in accessibility for residents, particularly for those currently commuting to other locations for their shopping needs. This expansion partnership between Costco and local authorities illustrates ongoing efforts to enhance community services and economic growth in the region.
As construction progresses, anticipation builds among local residents for the new shopping option that promises convenience and job creation while reinforcing Costco’s commitment to the Las Vegas community.
