The application in Clark County marks the beginning of the governmental approval process that could lead to the store's opening as early as Summer 2016. Currently, the closest Ikea stores are in Covina, Calif., Tempe, Ariz., and Draper, Utah.

Located in the Spring Valley area of Clark County, approximately 13 miles southwest of downtown Las Vegas, the 351,000-square-foot proposed Ikea store and its nearly 1,300 parking spaces would be built on 26 acres along the northern side of Interstate-215 at Durango Drive, near the intersection of Sunset Road. Store plans reflect the same unique architectural design for which Ikea stores are known worldwide. Ikea also will evaluate potential on-site power generation possibilities to complement its current U.S. renewable energy presence at nearly 90 percent of its U.S. locations.

“We look forward to continue growing our western U.S. presence with Ikea Las Vegas,” said Ikea U.S. CFO Rob Olson. “This accessible location would provide the already 101,000 Las Vegas-area customers a store of their own and introduce the unique Ikea shopping experience to other consumers throughout Clark County and Southern Nevada.”
