Las Vegas, NV (KXNT) - A company with plans to build a high speed rail that will eventually take riders from Vegas to L.A. has purchased a parcel of land where a planned station would be built.
On Tuesday, Brightline Holdings announced the acquisition of a parcel on the west side of Las Vegas Boulevard between Warm Springs and Windmill, across from the South Premium Outlets. The purchase price isn’t known.
“We have continued our pioneering efforts throughout a period of unprecedented change to advance the development of Brightline West, and we now have secured our new home,” said Michael Reininger, chief executive officer of Brightline Holdings. “Today’s announcement represents another important milestone for the project and is tangible evidence of our commitment and progress. The location and quality of the site matches our aspirations for what will be the showcase for new high-speed rail in the country.”
Plans are currently being developed for the terminal station, which will encompass 65,000 square feet of building area and include many innovative amenities for travelers, including ample parking and connections to various ground transportation systems – both existing and planned.
