It sounds like they are carving a space out of common-owned space for a new boutique of some kind? Anyone know anythign about this one?
TEXT of Jan 2016 Channel 2 news article. Note mention of HIGH END BOUTIQUE... A local entrepreneur and philanthropist, Stacie Mathewson, is the new owner of 17,000 square feet of the bottom floor of the Montage condominiums in Downtown Reno. She has big plans for what she wants to see fill the space and has a central theme in mind. "My desires really center around wellness and health. And from a business owners perspective, I really looked at the Montage space to bring some wellness," said Mathewson. Her plans include working with local business owners to fill the space with a fitness gym, a spa, and a high-end boutique. Even five years ago, Mathewson says this wouldn't have been an opportunity worth risking, but today, she is fearless. "Putting a business downtown is a risk in that are there going to be people that want to come down and participate," said Mathewson. "I believe there will and I am willing to take that risk." Mathewson is also the founder of a local non-profit, Doors to Recovery, which helps those in the area with addictions. She says that though leasing this space is a for-profit business venture, her non-profit will benefit. "It is a profit venture for me separate from the non-profit but 10 percent of the proceeds will go to Doors to Recovery for the Reno community," said Mathewson. Her passion to see Reno a more "walkable space" is apparent as she invests in the area's potential. "I am so excited to be apart of this," said Mathewson.
