US (NV): Marapharm building third facility in Las Vegas

Marapharm announces construction plans for a third building which will be 65,635 square feet on the 7 acre property located in Las Vegas, adjacent to 2 existing cultivation buildings. The ground prep pad is ready to build on, most infrastructure is designed and in place and building plans go for bid in October 2017. Construction will begin soon thereafter. This building is slated to be the first 3 story cannabis building in the state of Nevada.

“Current pricing and comparable facilities in Nevada indicate that revenue from the new 3 story building will potentially be $50 million gross and $30 million net, after operating costs, for the first year. We will be at about 20% build out with regard to the square footage of the licenses we have. Marapharm is the largest marijuana license holder in Nevada.” Linda Sampson, CEO, Marapharm.

Marapharm engaged Kurt Keating to do the evaluation of this project. Kurt won 2 High Times Cannabis Cups in 2014 while cultivating medical cannabis and he has been consulting, evaluating and growing cannabis for several years. The market price for this type of marijuana at present is approximately $2300 wholesale per pound in Nevada. The evaluation for the three floors is 22,600 pounds per year.
