It's been a hot minute since I've had the chance to cruise Accela (The City's permitting web site), so here's a collection of new projects happening in Midtown and Downtown that are noteworthy, with links to the permits.
New Midtown Apartments Coming
734 Tahoe Street - The permit reads: RESIDENTIAL DEMOLITION. DEMOLITION OF EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY, MISCELLANEOUS EXISTING SITE IMPROVEMENTS, AND EXISTING UNDERGROUND UTILITIES INSIDE THE PROPERTY LINES. DEMO IS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW 7 UNIT APARTMENT BUILDING PERMITTED ON BLD23-03440E
Small Downtown Apartment 4-Plex
53 West 9th Street - The permits reads: 4 PLEX. NEW 4 PLEX W/ GARAGES, INCLUDES SITE IMPROVEMENTS. DEMO OF EXISTING GARAGES UNDER SEPARATE PERMIT.
New Rehab Facility on Wells Ave
196 South Wells Avenue - The permit reads: COMMERCIAL REMODEL. RENOVATION OF THE EXISTING ONE STORY BUILDING INTO A 20-BED AND ALCOHOL DETOXIFICATION CENTER. SITE IMPROVEMENTS, UTILITY CONNECTIONS AND ALL OTHER WORK INCLUDED.
Author Note: Very interesting re-use of this commercial property.
UNR School of Business
This is interesting, I haven't seen a permit like this before. It's for internal review only (meaning we can't see it), but hey it's a permit, and it's for a big building, so perhaps UNR is inching closer to construction the UNR School of Business along Center Street between 8th and 9th. Permit link.
New Sign for 445 Cal Ave
Did Madator Lounge close? There's a permit for a new sign called'Lo-Bar Social'
