West 2nd District

The West 2nd District is a proposal for a major urban revitalization and redevelopment project for downtown Reno.

Located inside of the City’s Redevelopment Agency District 1 (RDA 1), north and west of the Truckee River, the proposed urban live-work redevelopment consists of 30 new mixed-use buildings; a new park, plazas, and walkable streets; 1,900 residential units; 700,000 square feet of commercial, office, and retail space; and on-site central plant and wastewater treatment infrastructure. The project is proposed for a 17-acre site in the urban core of the Reno Metropolitan Area, an area specifically targeted for redevelopment by the City of Reno.

Led by Reno architect Don J Clark, the Reno-based redevelopment team brings both local business partners and a national network of architecture, landscape architecture, engineering, and sustainable infrastructure and design consultants together to work on the West 2nd District project.

Realized over a six- to ten-year period, new infrastructure, including gigabit fiber to every address, will make the district the most technologically advanced in the region. Sustainable infrastructure built into the project includes an on-site central plant and wastewater treatment facilities.
