A sneak peek at the Retrac Train Trench Cover proposal by L3 Development

From Fernando Leal:

"The concept that I am presenting utilize templates that have been successful in other great cities to create a sense of "place"... San Francisco's Union Square and Ferry Buildings, San Jose's Santana Row, Santa Monica's Third Street Promenade are good examples.

Given the national housing downturn, I believe we must focus on retail opportunities to continue to drive the revitalization and redevelopment of our downtown core.

The proposed area is surrounded by over 5,000 hotel rooms, within a mile of over 15,000 faculty and students from UNR, and is in the midst of 15,700 parking spaces to accommodate visitors.

Downtown redevelopment needs the support of the entire Reno community.
I welcome your comments."

Sincerely,

Fernando Leal
