Bentar Development and partner Basin Street Properties have sold the 94 unit 3rd Street Flats to LandCap Investment Partners. The upscale residential mixed use complex, which opened in December of 2016, arose from the former Kings Inn and at over 90 percent plus occupancy adds to the momentum of a revitalized downtown Reno.
“Redeveloping the Kings Inn into the lively and successful 3rd Street Flats that you see today has been a goal of ours since we moved our headquarters here in 2009,” Matt White, CEO of Basin Street Properties, said in a written statement. “The property sat vacant for over 30 years until ChiChi Bengochea of (Las Vegas-based) Bentar Development and our team were able to combine our collective vision and expertise to completely remake it as new, upscale apartments.”
The sale of the property to enables Basin Street to focus its energy on other redevelopment opportunities in the region.
Basin Street Properties has become widely recognized for its office, retail, hospitality, multi-family and mixed-use developments.
"Our core focus remains office development," Mike Williams, Basin Street vice president of marketing, told the NNBW. He added that the company would continue to look at opportunities in other sectors as they come up.
3rd Street Flats fits well into the focus of LandCap, a mixed use and housing sector investment firm.
“We see a great deal of long term potential in the Reno-Sparks Market and are excited to be a part of the region’s growth,” Steve Hinckley, CEO of LandCap Investment Partners, said. “3rd Street Flats fits well within our portfolio of apartment and mixed use communities and I believe we can raise the bar with our experienced team working across these properties.”
3rd Street Flats is the 10th property in LandCap’s Nevada portfolio. Other local multi-family and mixed use properties include Square One at Victorian Square, The Resort at Tanamera, Waterfront at Sparks Marina and The Marina Village.
