I originally posted this in the Mountain West Forum, but someone suggested that I also post it here. Since Reno is quite close to the California/Nevada border I guess it makes sense some of you might be interested in development over here. Anway, here is a link to a very informative site detailing most of the major development in the city (both planned and under construction):

Of the many projects proposed and under construction, the most impressive are The Waterfront Towers (downtown), The Wingfield Towers (downtown) & Grand Sierra Resort (east of downtown). It's quite an exciting time in The Biggest Little City in the World. As a native Renoite, it sure is nice to see downtown get rid of some of the sleazy motels in favor of some high-quality development. Now they just need to bring in some decent retail. (Currently, nearly all the good shopping and dining in Reno is located in the suburbs.)
