Canyon Flats continues to rise in downown Reno.
Canyon Flats comprises an entire block of downtown between Center and Virginia Street and 5th and 6th Streets. The L-shaped project is huge, and changes the streetscape of this area.
My one criticism of the project is a parking garage comprises most of the ground level, and an opportunity was lost to activate the street with some additional retail establishments geared toward college students.
But overall the project replaces a long-neglected block of downtown.
Yeah it's really too bad that a lot of these student housing projects are avoiding ground floor retail. This is true with the ones on N Virginia as well. Either way, this is such an awesome improvement over what used to reside on that block, and much better first impression of downtown. Hopefully it leads to more redevelopment of the area.
