Commercial Properties That Benefit Most from Aerial Photography
Drone photography is especially valuable for:
• Industrial & Warehouse Properties - Showcase massive square footage, loading docks, truck access, and site layout that's impossible to capture from ground level
• Shopping Centers & Retail Plazas - Demonstrate parking capacity, storefront visibility, traffic patterns, and anchor tenant positioning
• Office Parks & Business Campuses - Highlight building placement, landscaping, parking facilities, and professional environment
• Multi-Family Complexes - Showcase community amenities, pool areas, parking, landscaping, and surrounding neighborhood context
• New Construction - Document construction progress, land acreage, site preparation, and proximity to infrastructure
• Hotels & Hospitality - Capture resort-style amenities, location advantages, and property appeal from dramatic aerial perspectives
Whether you're marketing a 100,000 sq ft warehouse in North Las Vegas, a retail center in Henderson, an office building in Summerlin, or an apartment complex anywhere in Las Vegas Metro, aerial drone photography provides the comprehensive visual context that helps commercial properties lease faster and attract qualified tenants.
The Competitive Advantage of Professional Drone Photography
Showcase Site Layout & Scale
Aerial photography reveals property dimensions, building footprints, and site layouts that are impossible to communicate through ground-level photos alone. Investors and tenants can immediately understand square footage, parking ratios, and spatial relationships between buildings, loading areas, and access points.
Demonstrate Location & Accessibility
Drone shots prove proximity to highways, major roads, airports, and commercial hubs. For industrial properties, showcase truck routes and freeway access. For retail, demonstrate traffic exposure and parking visibility. For office parks, highlight professional surroundings and commute convenience.
Stand Out on Commercial Platforms
Listings with professional aerial photography receive significantly more views on LoopNet, CoStar, and CREXI. Drone imagery signals serious marketing investment, attracts qualified prospects, and helps properties command premium lease rates by showcasing features competitors cannot match.
Attract Remote Investors
Out-of-state investors rely heavily on visual assets to evaluate commercial properties. Comprehensive aerial photography combined with ground photos and 3D tours allows serious investors to conduct thorough due diligence remotely, reducing unqualified showings and accelerating deal timelines.
Document Property Features
Aerial photography captures critical features: HVAC rooftop units, solar installations, parking lot conditions, landscaping quality, security fencing, loading dock configurations, and surrounding development—all factors that influence commercial tenant decisions.
Progress Documentation
For developers and new construction projects, drone photography provides professional progress documentation for investor updates, municipal approvals, pre-leasing campaigns, and completion certificates.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about commercial drone photography in Las Vegas
Are you legally licensed to fly drones for commercial real estate in Las Vegas?
Yes! Rick Rowland is an FAA Part 107 certified commercial drone pilot, which is the legal requirement for anyone operating drones for commercial purposes in the United States. Many photographers offer 'drone services' without proper FAA licensing, which is illegal and puts your property at risk. Our Part 107 certification means we've passed rigorous FAA testing on airspace regulations, weather considerations, flight operations, and safety protocols. We operate legally throughout Las Vegas, Henderson, Summerlin, and North Las Vegas, following all federal aviation regulations. Additionally, we maintain current knowledge of local airspace restrictions, obtain necessary LAANC authorizations for controlled airspace, and coordinate with property managers to ensure safe operations. When you hire RCRdigital for commercial drone photography, you're working with a legal, certified professional—not someone flying illegally.
What areas of Las Vegas can you fly drones legally?
RCRdigital provides FAA-licensed drone photography throughout the Las Vegas metropolitan area, including Las Vegas, Henderson, Summerlin, North Las Vegas, Boulder City, and all of Southern Nevada. However, certain areas have airspace restrictions that require special FAA authorization. For example, properties near McCarran International Airport, Nellis Air Force Base, and certain downtown areas may require LAANC (Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability) approval before we can fly. We handle all FAA authorizations and airspace coordination as part of our service—you don't need to worry about compliance issues. During our consultation, we'll review your property location, verify any airspace restrictions, and obtain necessary approvals before the shoot date. Our goal is to provide legal, safe drone photography while handling all regulatory requirements on your behalf.
How long does a commercial drone shoot take?
A typical commercial drone photography session adds 30-45 minutes to your overall photography appointment, though timing varies based on property size and complexity. For a standard office building or retail center, we can capture comprehensive aerial coverage in 30 minutes. Larger industrial properties, shopping centers, or multi-building complexes may require 45-60 minutes for complete aerial documentation. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your tenant operations and business activities. When you combine drone photography with our ground HDR photography and Matterport 3D tours, we coordinate everything in a single visit, maximizing efficiency and providing discounted package pricing. Weather conditions and FAA airspace authorizations can affect scheduling, so we monitor conditions closely and communicate any necessary adjustments.
What weather conditions are required for drone photography?
Safe and high-quality drone photography requires specific weather conditions. We need clear or partly cloudy skies with winds below 20 mph for safe operations and optimal photo quality. Rain, fog, heavy clouds, or high winds prevent us from flying safely and would produce poor-quality images. Las Vegas weather is generally favorable for drone operations most of the year, but we continuously monitor conditions leading up to your scheduled shoot. If weather becomes unfavorable, we'll contact you immediately to reschedule at no charge. We'd rather reschedule than deliver subpar aerial photos that don't effectively market your commercial property. Our weather-adaptive approach ensures you always receive the highest quality aerial imagery, even if it means adjusting the schedule for optimal conditions.
Can you fly drones at occupied commercial properties?
Yes! Rick has extensive experience conducting drone operations at occupied commercial properties throughout Las Vegas. We work professionally and efficiently to minimize disruption to tenant operations and business activities. For occupied properties, we coordinate with property managers to schedule flights during times that work best for your tenants—often early morning, lunch hours, or after business hours. We follow strict safety protocols, maintain appropriate flight distances from people and buildings, and respect tenant privacy. Tenants are typically notified in advance of drone operations. Our professional approach ensures we capture the aerial photography you need while maintaining positive relationships with your current tenants and demonstrating that the property is professionally managed.
What's included in your drone photography service?
RCRdigital's commercial drone photography service includes: FAA Part 107 licensed and compliant operations with all necessary airspace authorizations; high-resolution aerial HDR photos from multiple angles (overhead, oblique, and perspective shots); comprehensive coverage showing site layout, parking, loading areas, building placement, and surrounding context; professional editing with HDR processing, color correction, and perspective adjustment; platform-optimized deliverables formatted for LoopNet, CoStar, and CREXI; high-resolution files suitable for investor presentations, brochures, and large-format printing; web-optimized versions ready for immediate upload; and 1-2 business day delivery via secure download link with all photos organized and ready for use. All aerial images include unlimited usage rights with no watermarks or licensing restrictions.
How much does commercial drone photography cost in Las Vegas?
RCRdigital's standalone commercial drone photography starts at just $125. This price is even lower when bundled with other services, and the final cost depends on property size, complexity, and the number of aerial angles required. Pricing factors include property square footage, number of buildings, airspace complexity, and whether special FAA authorizations are needed. A single-building retail center costs less than a multi-building office park. We offer significant discounts when you combine drone photography with ground HDR photography or Matterport 3D tours, since drive time and setup are already factored in. For example, a complete marketing package (ground photography + drone aerials + 3D tour) provides better value than ordering services separately. Every commercial property receives a custom quote based on your specific needs. Contact RCRdigital for a free, itemized estimate showing individual service costs and package discounts.
Can drone photography be combined with ground photography and 3D tours?
Absolutely! In fact, we strongly recommend combining services for maximum marketing impact and cost savings. When you book ground HDR photography as your primary service, adding drone aerials and Matterport 3D tours is significantly discounted since we're already on-site. This integrated approach provides comprehensive visual marketing: ground photos showcase interior spaces and building details, aerial photos demonstrate site layout and location advantages, and 3D tours offer interactive walkthroughs for remote investors. All three services are coordinated in a single visit, delivered together within 1-2 business days, and formatted consistently for LoopNet, CoStar, and CREXI. This one-stop solution saves you time, money, and the hassle of coordinating multiple vendors. Contact RCRdigital to discuss customized packages combining aerial photography with ground photos and virtual tours tailored to your specific property and marketing goals.
