Photo Tour: 3rd Street Flats Progress

3rd Street Flats, the new residential apartment mid-rise being converted from its former stint as an ugly yellow long-closed hotel/casino, added some interior renderings to their web site. Check them out! 

Check out an interior photo tour of 3rd Street Flats, a high-end apartment complex being constructed on 3rd Street and Arlington Avenue. It was fomerly the pee-yellow-colored Kings Inn, which remained closed for decades. 

University District, 3rd Street Flats, 4th Street Project, Virgnia Street Bridge Update, ReTRAC Cover Update, an action plan for downtown, and more. 

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.
