It’s becoming more and more common to hear of people working from home, and as that trend expands, so does the number of entrepreneurs starting their own businesses and looking for spaces to house them and their employees while they’re in the startup face. Seeing this need for a startup haven, the idea for Reno Hive was built.

 

The Reno Hive is the latest coworking space to open in downtown Reno and features 5,000 square feet of Class A office space. Located in the Arlington Towers, the office includes 2,000 square feet for community space, six cubicles, six offices, and two state-of-the-art video conference rooms.

 

With the increase of homegrown startups making the venture to become successful businesses on top of the nearly 100 companies that have relocated or expanded to Reno-Sparks in the last three years, the timing for a new coworking space couldn’t have been better.

 

The Reno Hive didn’t just want to be a standard coworking space, though. They took it a step further and used innovative technology that offers some great amenities to those using the space. With meditation pods, hammock chairs, community bikes, and float tanks coming soon, Reno Hive appeals to a wide audience.

 

Membership includes access to the meditation pod, float tanks, coffee, printing, high-speed internet, conference rooms, community bikes, free parking, and 24/7 availability in case you decide to burn the midnight oil!

 

The coworking membership is $250 per month, while semi-private offices and cubicles run about $450 per month. For businesses that aren’t looking for a ton of space to host as the headquarters while they get the company off the ground, this is a great choice. For those in the creative industry looking for a place with great energy and unrestricted wi-fi access, you’re sure to see some great ideas come to life here.

 

We look forward to seeing what new innovations and companies will come out of Reno Hive as well as how the coworking spaces evolve to encourage people to use their buildings. It’s a time of growth in Reno, and we’re happy to give our insights into what changes like this will mean for the area. Don’t hesitate to give us a call if you have any questions about the Reno-Sparks area.

The Gateway District is a historic neighborhood in Reno and is bordered by Interstate 80, Ninth Street, Virginia Street, and Evans Avenue. This means that the Gateway District is close to the entrance of the University of Nevada, Reno’s campus and the perfect location for the university to set their sights for expansion.

 

UNR has already begun tearing down eight homes in the area as part of the plan to make room for academic buildings and a parking garage. For anyone driving down Center Street, metal fences and bulldozers can be seen in preparation for the project. One house has already been razed, and three more are scheduled to follow shortly.

 

Before 2019 is over, the demolition portion of the project should be completed, but the timeline could change depending on permit approvals. Center and Lake streets are rife with demolition currently and will be seeing a lot of construction in the next couple of months.

 

To keep the project moving, a design for a parking garage located in the University Gateway Precinct is underway. With student and faculty growth multiplying, there’s a large demand for more parking spaces close to the campus. The Gateway Precinct parking garage will add an additional 720 to 1,000 parking spots in a desirable location at the south end of campus. The current design shows the parking garage is an eight-story, 250,000 square-foot structure to be completed fall of 2021.

 

That’s not the only design that the university has been working on though. There are also specs for a new multi-story College of Business building located in the University Gateway Precinct underway. The building will house the Ozmen Center for Entrepreneurship, the Nevada Small Business Development Center, the Dean’s office, and a Student Success Center, as well as auditoriums, classrooms, offices, specialty lab spaces, retail, and supporting functions. This project is a little farther off as it’s projected that construction won’t begin until the summer of 2021, with completion happening in the summer of 2023.

 

If you’re curious about what the university’s expansion could mean for your home’s value and your neighborhood, give our team a call! We’re happy to give you some insight into the real estate market, and should you be thinking of buying or selling a home, we’re always here to make the transition as stress-free as possible.

The rattle of the bulldozers, hammers, and cranes have been heard throughout Reno. With all of the construction happening, it’s hard to keep up on what projects are taking place and what has been done in the recent months. We have an update on some really exciting projects everyone should know about!

 

Esprit Townhome Apartments
The Reno-Sparks housing communities are seeing a large need for middle homes, better known as a market between apartment living and single-family home lifestyles. The Esprit Townhome Apartments consist of 126 three-story townhouses tucked on a 7.88-acre lot. The construction area is close to Veterans Parkway and Geiger Grade. Construction crews are already clearing the land and it’s expected that the clubhouse will be finished in spring 2020 with residents starting to move in around that time.

 

OnTrac
This logistics firm is currently building a 186,600-square-foot space in Reno’s North Valleys. The new facility could be a complement or a replacement of the 165,000-square-foot distribution center on Vista Boulevard in Sparks, but there’s been no word on what OnTrac plans to do with both properties.

 

The Pavilions
The Pavilions shopping center on South Virginia Street continues to be touched up. The whole shopping center is getting a facelift with a new lumber and slate exterior. There has also been interior demolition of walls, grid ceilings, and HVAC systems.

 

Steamboat by Vintage
Last July a low-income apartment project broke ground and it’s finally coming together! The clubhouse is open and the first apartment buildings have residents moving in. The development has one, two, and three bedroom apartments available for people who fit the low-income household thresholds. The property also features three playgrounds, an outdoor swimming pool, a fitness facility, and a dog park.

 

Affordable housing continues to be an area that developers and city officials are focusing their attention. With this comes a lot of construction and new projects springing up. If you’re ever curious about what’s happening in your neighborhood and how the coming changes could affect the resale value of your home, contact us at The David Morris Group. We’re happy to give you an insider’s perspective into the real estate market and help you buy or sell a home!

Construction Update: 3 Projects Happening Around Reno

It’s likely that on your drive to work and on your way to meet up with friends you’ve seen some of the construction happening around town. There are a lot of projects currently underway and they can bring more growth and opportunity for the community. Below are some of the developments you should know about.

 

Aloft Hotel
Located immediately adjacent to the Reno-Tahoe International Airport is a 164-key Aloft hotel that will be the first tech-forward lifestyle hotel in Reno. Aloft falls under the Marriott International hotel umbrella, and Reno will be the company’s first Nevada location. The hotel is said to come with a vast array of amenities including portable breakfast pots instead of continental breakfast, live music in the lounge performed by indie artists, and towels and toiletries delivered by a robot butler. Rooms will also feature 9-foot ceilings, rainfall showerheads and pet-friendly touches for dogs under 40 pounds. The target opening date is set for sometime in the spring of 2020.

 

Chase Bank
Chase Bank has been very open about the desire to expand the company’s reach in Nevada, which is why the newest branch will be coming to Spanish Springs. While the permits were issued back in March, construction hasn’t quite happened yet. It’s hard to say when this second Sparks location will open up, but it’s a big step in Chase’s plans to join the Northern Nevada community.

 

ER at McCarran NW
North McCarran Boulevard will soon be the sight of a new emergency room, all part of Northern Nevada Medical Center’s expansion plans. There’s currently a shortage of doctors in the area and this construction project has hopes to remedy that. The 10,840-square-foot facility is expected to open sometime in 2020, and there are plans to work on models to increase access to behavioral health services.

 

There are so many exciting projects happening around town, and there are sure to be some great perks and growth opportunities that spring up as an effect of the construction. If you’re ever curious about how the area has changed over the years and what Reno and Sparks could look like with these new developments, give our team a call! We’re happy to give you some insight into the city we love to call home.
