Facade Improvement Program progresses
August 23, 2007
In my opinion, the facade improvement pilot program could be one of the most dramatic changes to downtown, as ONE architect will redesign the facades of the aging casinos and buildings between 2nd st. and Commercial Row on Virginia St. On Wednesday, August 29 the RDA will meet to discuss B.1 Staff Report: Discussion and approval of the Facade Improvement Pilot Program as a Forgivable Loan Program.
More on Baseball Stadium
August 23, 2007
On Wednesday, August 29 at 2:00 the Redevelopment Agency Board will meet to discuss the two following items regarding the baseball stadium:
B.2 Staff Report: Discussion, and potential direction/approval of the proposed Memorandum of Understanding by and between Nevada Land, LLC, the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Reno, and the City of Reno, for the Development of a AAA Baseball Stadium.
B.3 Staff Report: Discussion and potential direction/approval for the proposed Memorandum of Understanding by and between Siena Communities, LLC, the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Reno, and the City of Reno for Public and Private Land Exchange.
The idea of a land exchange for Siena Communities so the Redevelopment Agency can get the large parcel of land they need is intriguing, and could possibly serve Siena Communities well; depending on which land they get in trade the land could be closer to downtown, and less off the beaten path over by Evans and 2nd.

The Montage is really going to town now installing balconies at a pretty rapid pace. I got some great pics of it, as well as one of those infamously gorgeous Reno sunsets, and Palladio and Grant’s Landing. Click here to view photo gallery (in a kicken new format by the way that allows me to have bigger pics)
8 On Center Sold Out
August 16, 2007
Well I ended up telling everyone else this before I had time to post it on this site; 8 On Center will be closing on their last available unit in a week or so, which means they are officially sold out. That’s right! All of the units went for their original asking prices too. I am told it’s a nice mixture of retirees, business folks and artists. 4 of the 8 will be using their bottom floor for actual commercial/retail as well, which makes the developer VERY happy, since that’s what she envisioned all along. I recently did a piece on the developer, if you missed it click here. Maybe this will inspire Mr. Thoma Lofts to break ground on his live-work units just up the street from 8 on Center.
