Real Estate


Reno - Sparks - Tahoe

The greater Reno/Sparks area has more than 46 million square feet of industrial, office and commercial space plus zoned properties ready for development. In planning for the future, the area continues to develop to satisfy increasing demand in space. Speculative space is available. Improved industrial and business parks offer sites at a wide range of prices, with easy access to existing freeways and close proximity to the Reno/tahoe International Airport.


Industrial Market

Zoned, buildable industrial sites are available in Reno/Sparks ranging in price from $1.72 to $5.50 per square foot, for uses ranging from warehousing/distribution to manufacturing to research and development. Time required for permitting and construction is significantly shorter than in many western cities. The industrial market grew 1.08% in 1997, reaching a total of 42.7 million square feet, one of the highest per capita in the United States. Despite a continued high demand, industrial rental rates remain lower than many urban areas of the west. Planned speculative industrial development during 1998 is nearly 5 million square feet.
