Habitat Buffalo

Las Vegas, NV | 2021 - 2023

Habitat Buffalo is a commercial subdivision at the north-east corner of S. Buffalo Drive and W. Post Road that will enhance the surrounding mixed-use community. The project detaches from the unsightly commercial bigbox plazas typically found in the area, instead focusing on enhancing and modernizing traditional pre-engineered and conventional steel building forms. The architectural mix of barn influenced “A” frames and contemporary flat roof buildings will comprise space for future manufacturing, industrial, warehouse, processing and wholesale uses, including accessory office, sales, and services. The durable materials for the project include burnished CMU block, blackened steel, exposed structural steel, large custom steel glazing, reclaimed white oak, and standing seam aluminum. The buildings will have solar panels and will use raised flooring with HVAC and electrical underneath for modular flexibility that can adapt to potential tenant’s needs. Large skylights and windows throughout will provide natural daylighting and awnings and courtyard spaces
