The Kings Inn to become 3rd Street Flats - Rendering and Details!

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.

K2 Apartments-Kings Inn Gets Some Color

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

A Walkable Downtown Reno

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.

Kings Inn Completely Gutted

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.

Liberty Buildings Demolished

As I originally reported here, the Liberty Buildings have now been leveled. The buildings were not structurally sound from what I've been told, and even the artist who painted the murals, John Ton, did not have an issue with seeing the buildings go.

Arterra was originally planned for this lot, which has since been bought by its neighbor to the West. It could be anything from a surface parking lot (I hope not) to a new office building, to maybe even new residential.

Something Headed to Former Arterra Site?

Demolition permits have been issues for 115 and 135 West Liberty Street, the old 'House of Blends' building and it's adjacent neighbor, to demolish the buildings and clear the remaining property.

New Art and Historic Guide to West Street added to West St Median

Small touches like this add up to a great visitor experience to West Street and the Riverwalk District.

Phase Two Construction Permit for Kings Inn

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.

Connecting with Nature in an Urban Environment

Here in Reno, we often don't look toward our neighbors in the South for great redevelopment ideas...not that Vegas is a bad influence, it's just, that city is headed in a different direction than Reno.

But here's one project out of Las Vegas that I hope Reno emulates. Check it out, and attend Las Vegas Parklett Friday at noon at Nevada Museum of Art.
