The well-established, well-known Arlington Avenue salon Origins, will be relocating to Atomik City at 400 Mill Street, and Recharge Reno-Tahoe will be taking up the entire first floor of the Atomik building, located on the corner of Mill Street and Holcomb Avenue. Atomik City is the two-story building on the corner of Mill and Holcomb that was formerly part of the Urbanito project, and recently purchased by Luke Hoffman.
"We're excited to be part of this redevelopment area just east of downtown and plan to embrace the multifaceted community that the Urbanito block represents." -Luke Hoffman, Atomik City owner/developer.
The second floor of the building has its own postal address, 410 Mill Street, and offers '60s-style "Madmen" office suites complete with original hardwood maple floors, mid-century lighting and slick original heaters. Six of the nine suites are already spoken for. But let's see who will be occupying the first floor!
Origins Salon
Origins Hair & Personal Care Salon offers women's and men's haircuts and colors, manicures and pedicures, waxing treatments, facials, nail color, and more. They will be relocating to Atomik City's first floor.

Historic Exterior Sign Discovered
While prepping the east side of the building for paint and a potential mural, Atomik City uncovered the historical "Linnecke Electric Company" sign and restored it! Check out the full-size photos in the gallery below this post.
Luke has done a great job transforming this building little by little! We are excited to have his ideas and work coming to Urbanito. This downtown block has gone from ten years of derelict and neglect to super good energy with the addition of these new businesses. The brewery and distillery next door, the residential bungalows and an as yet to be revealed commercial building located within the black wall on Holcomb will truly make this a "little city"--which is what Urbanito translates to!
