Cadence Homes for Sale

Overview & history

The land under Cadence has deep roots in Henderson's history. The city began around the Basic Magnesium plant, built in 1941 for the federal government to produce magnesium during World War II. Basic Management Inc. (BMI) held the surrounding land from the 1950s. BMI created The LandWell Company in 1992 to develop it, and its subsidiary Basic Remediation Company, formed in 1999, cleaned up the 2,200 acres east of Boulder Highway that became Cadence.

Groundbreaking came in August 2013 and home sales began in December 2014. At buildout the plan allows for up to 12,250 homes and 1.1 million sq ft of commercial space, including an urban core planned for retail and offices. The community's official site says it has been named one of the top 10 best-selling master-planned communities in the nation.
