With a focus on developing raw, green-field land, LDA offers a comprehensive range of services to meet the complex needs of such projects. This includes utility infrastructure and roadways, as well as obtaining all necessary governmental agency approvals.

LDA specializes in providing a one-stop-shop for entitlements, design review and value engineering, development management, dry and wet utility coordination, and land rights acquisition. The company has played a key role in coordinating major infrastructure projects in the Apex area, including the development of waterline and wastewater systems.

Furthermore, LDA has successfully obtained numerous rights-of-way, easements and assisted with land acquisition for infrastructure located on federal lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management as well as State of Nevada-owned property. The company has also secured UPRR permissions to jack and bore under active railroad lines along with NDOT encroachment permits.

LDA's expertise extends to navigating Federal environmental compliance processes including the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The company prepares robust application materials including resource-specific studies required by NEPA.

Currently coordinating multiple concurrent projects including large-scale developments such as the Northern Nevada Industrial Center in Lyon County and properties in Apex comprising over 25,000 acres of land. This work involves coordination of roadway design/build; dry utility coordination with NV Energy, Southwest Gas, and Cox Communication; and municipal utilities with local and regional providers.
