Key Investment Thesis

  • Opportunity to deliver a best-in-class residential offering in an extremely desirable location – the project is situated directly on the Truckee River near the Riverwalk District and Midtown District, which together form Reno’s most urban, diverse, and vibrant neighborhood which has been experiencing significant growth due its unique lifestyle offering.
  • Continued evolution of the Downtown and Midtown neighborhoods as well and the Reno market as a whole, which continues to experience an influx of new residents and employment growth, including Tesla’s recent announcement of an additional $3.6 billion investment into two new factories in Reno as well as Redwood Materials’ announcement for a new $3.5 billion battery recycling facility.
  • Historically undersupplied housing market in Reno which has led to significant continued rent growth within the market.
  • Grant’s Landing focuses on the shift in demand towards highly amenitized Class A housing within the Downtown submarket which historically has seen very limited institutional quality multifamily product.

Key Investment Thesis

Ghirardelli Square is a historic San Francisco destination, offering shopping, art galleries, family events, walking tours and more. Steeped in the history of the Ghirardelli chocolate family, dating back to the mid-1800s, Ghirardelli Square was the original site of the family’s chocolate, cocoa, mustard, and box factories. Today, it is a popular destination for visitors and Bay Area residents who desire a unique shopping and dining experience. As one of the first successful mixed-use redevelopment projects in the United States, Ghirardelli Square has been a San Francisco landmark for more than 100 years and to ensure its preservation for future generations, the Square was granted National Historic Register status in 1982. Fairmont Heritage Place opened in 2008 and was Fairmont’s first urban private residence.
