Fort Worth-based land development services firm Peloton Land Solutions Inc. is expanding out of state, into the southern Nevada market.
Peloton, with three Texas offices, recently announced the opening of its fourth – the first outside of Texas – in Henderson, Nevada.
Denny Peters, formerly in Peloton’s Fort Worth corporate office, will oversee the new office as Nevada operations manager, leading business development and operations for the expansion. Prior to coming to Fort Worth, Peters was a civil engineer in the Las Vegas Valley for more than 10 years and was community development engineering manager for the City of Reno.
“As one of the fastest growing metropolitan regions in the country, we’ve had Las Vegas on our radar for a while,” said Peloton President and CEO Aric Head. “The growth opportunities there are significant, and engineering and planning services are in high demand.”
Peloton expects its client base to be similar to its Texas markets with a focus on residential, commercial and industrial development, as well as public infrastructure. It offers services including site selection, planning, zoning, feasibility studies, utility and infrastructure planning, civil engineering, flood studies and permitting.
“I’m excited to spearhead this new charge for Peloton and appreciate their confidence in me to lead their first expansion outside of Texas,” said Peters. Hired by Peloton in 2016 as a senior project manager, Peters has more than 25 years’ experience in civil and environmental engineering with expertise in water resources and hydrology. In his previous position at Peloton he managed project budgets and schedules, contributed to business development and cultivated client relationships, among other areas. Peters is a registered professional engineer in Arizona, California, Nevada, Texas and Utah, and a registered professional hydrologist. He has a master’s degree in civil and environmental engineering from California Polytechnic State University.
