Downtown Makeover News

Welcome to new project day! Where I'll be introducing three new residential projects coming to downtown and Midtown. The first is 3rd Street Flats, formerly the Kings Inn and codenamed K2 Apartments.

The former Kings Inn buildings gets some color as work continues, and check out what it might possibly look like when finished.

Downtown Reno is now in a second wave of development, with many projects going on, perhaps more than any other point in this blog's 10-year history.

It's the perfect time to discuss downtown Reno's  walkability, how far it's come in the past 10 years, and the weak areas that should be a priority for both developers and the city council.

The Kings Inn is now completely gutted. You can see right through it. All of the exterior windows have been removed, leaving only support columns and the ceiling and floors. This leaves a clean slate for a variety of architectural styles.

I am hearing through the grapevine 'luxury apartments' with floor-to-ceiling glass, stained concrete floors, etc. That's just a rumor though.

A "Phase 2" construction/renovation permit valued at $5,500,000 is in the review stage in the Reno building permit dept for the Kings Inn building downtown.

A construction permit has officially been filed for the Kings Inn to become apartments!

A report back from the RAAB meeting with lots of exciting items.

According to News 2, The Kings Inn could be receiving a facelift early next year if the sale goes through Nov 15.
