A Grand Undertaking in the Reno Area

In the vast expanse east of Reno where tumbleweeds once roamed freely a colossal transformation is underway. The Victory Logistics District is a sprawling industrial park in Fernley spanning more than four thousand acres and preparing to enter its second phase. This ambitious project is led by Mark Four Capital a real estate investment and private equity firm. With nearly two million square feet of industrial space already completed the development is on track to redefine Northern Nevada’s industrial landscape.

In the competitive world of industrial development Victory Logistics District is positioning itself as a formidable contender.

The Tahoe Reno Industrial Center is home to major companies like Tesla Panasonic and Google making it the gold standard in the region. However Victory Logistics District has a distinct advantage. Unlike the rugged terrain of its competitor this development site is significantly flatter making construction and expansion far more straightforward.

From Desert to Development The Journey So Far

A few years ago, Victory Logistics District made headlines with the second largest land acquisition in Nevada’s recent history. The only bigger deal was Blockchains' purchase at the Tahoe Reno Industrial Center the previous year.

Fast forward to twenty twenty five and the first phase of this monumental project is complete laying the groundwork for what will eventually be tens of millions of square feet of industrial space. It is as if the desert decided it was time for a serious upgrade trading sagebrush for state of the art facilities.

Phase Two Building the Backbone

As the project moves into its second phase the focus shifts to constructing critical infrastructure. This is not just about pouring concrete and putting up steel buildings.

It is about creating the very veins and arteries that will bring this industrial giant to life. Plans include grading six hundred acres and opening up an additional sixteen hundred acres for future development. The primary target is hyperscaler facilities which are massive data centers that keep cloud services running and digital businesses alive.

To support these technological behemoths the infrastructure rollout is nothing short of monumental. Picture miles of data pathways running along Interstate Eighty and U S Highway Fifty. Picture four miles of newly paved roads more than five miles of fresh water lines and more than six miles of storm drains.

And for those who appreciate a good volume comparison nearly three million cubic yards of soil will be moved. That is enough dirt to fill approximately eight hundred eighty Olympic sized swimming pools or for those who prefer vertical imagery roughly the same volume as the Empire State Building.

A Vision for the Future More Than Just Warehouses

The developers of Victory Logistics District are not interested in building a generic industrial park and calling it a day. They are aiming for something far bigger.

The ultimate goal is to create a versatile industrial hub that serves not only data centers but also distribution and manufacturing operations. For example, Redwood Materials (battery recycle company) leased a 815,215-square-foot building in 2022.

Think of it as an industrial buffet offering customized build to suit projects for specific clients alongside speculative projects that anticipate future demand.

Sustainability is also at the forefront of the project. Plans include transmission level power with access to geothermal solar and other renewable energy sources. It is an effort to keep industry booming without giving Mother Nature a headache.

Additionally a private railcar switching facility and a transloading hub will make cargo movement between railcars and trucks more efficient. These features place Victory Logistics District in a prime position to become a major player in regional and national supply chains.

Competing with the Big Leagues

Evan Slavik the president of real estate at Mark Four Capital emphasized the project's advantages when the land deal was first announced in twenty nineteen. He pointed out that the region's lack of available land coupled with Victory’s superior location makes it the best option for companies needing large scale high quality distribution and manufacturing space.

April 2025 - Microsoft doubled down on its investment in Northern Nevada by purchasing 300.7 acres of land at Victory Logistics District in Fernley. Lyon County public records show that Microsoft paid $70.5 million for the real estate, which currently is raw land.

Victory Logistics District is not just another industrial park. It is a game changer for Northern Nevada. With its strategic location massive infrastructure plans and long term vision it is set to become a hub of economic growth and innovation. The next time you find yourself east of Reno take a moment to appreciate the transformation. Where once there was open desert now stands a testament to industry ambition and a bit of vision.
