FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Don J Clark Group Unveils Major New Urban Revitalization Project for Downtown Reno
RENO, Nev. (April 27, 2016) The Don J Clark Group (DJCG) today presents to Reno City
Council a proposal for a major urban revitalization and redevelopment project for
downtown Reno called the West 2nd District. Located inside of the Citys 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.
Illustrating DJCGs commitment to Reno, the firm is working with business partners such as
Miyamoto International, a nationally recognized earthquake and structural engineering firm
that is opening a Reno office in association with the project. Initial projections indicate 6,551
construction and permanent jobs would be created by the development. DJCG staff will
host public open houses at 250 Bell Street Thursdays, April 28-June 2, 12pm-1pm; and
Saturdays, April 30-June 4, 2pm-4pm, with the exception of Saturday, May 28.
