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

Opportunity to develop a well-located hotel in a high growth and burgeoning lodging market, providing highly attractive annual cash flow returns for investors.
  • Post development recapitalization providing opportunity for new investors to participate in return growth as the hotel reaches stabilization
  • Rare off-market ground lease opportunity sourced through the Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority, with development option for adjacent land

JMA Value Creation

JMA developed the project on schedule and on budget, successfully delivering the hotel at an attractive basis. JMA then provided significant value for its “Phase 1” investors by recapitalizing the hotel in August 2022, with 4x gross returns on initial investor equity.

Quickly ramped up asset towards stabilization, despite hotel opening only months after the onset of the pandemic

Successful Phase I exit with substantial investor returns, while allowing Phase 2 investors to participate in continued upside as the property nears full stabilization
Negotiated accretive ground lease with Reno Airport Authority that features zero property tax
Managed full development and operation process from inception to hotel opening, delivering on budget in a volatile construction market
