The UNLV Harry Reid Research and Technology Park’s 122 acres of land was conveyed to the UNLV Research Foundation by the U.S. Congress with the support of Senator Harry Reid on June 22, 2005. Senator Harry Reid saw the benefit of UNLV having a “technology research center” on the Park to support both UNLV’s research and Nevada’s economic growth. In recognition of Senator Reid’s support for UNLV, the Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE) and the Park’s conveyance to the UNLV Research Foundation, NSHE Regents made the decision to include Senator Reid as an important part of the Park’s name.
Since the land’s conveyance in 2005, the UNLV Research Foundation has contracted with the Commercial Development and Management Corporation (CDMC), a private 501 (c)(3) non-profit Delaware corporation, to provide all of the Park’s subleasing, marketing, infrastructure construction and management services, and to act as landlord of the UNLV Harry Reid Research and Technology Park. The CDMC’s Directors and Management have extensive real estate development experience to assist developers and tenants interested in building on the Park. All business interactions for the Park will be conducted through the CDMC, and therefore will be confidential. |
