Capitalizing on a period of tremendous growth in the northern Reno area — complemented by nearby investments from Tesla, Amazon and Apple, among others — Capstone Advisors has completed the acquisition of 98 acres of commercial and residential at Sky Vista in North Valleys.
Capstone is a diversified real estate investment, development and advisory firm based in Carlsbad, Calif.
Sky Vista consists of a 1.91-acre pad site immediately adjacent to an existing Walmart Supercenter and a nearly 96-acre parcel of adjacent land entitled and planned for residential, retail and industrial development. The project enjoys a high visibility location and easy access to U.S. Highway 395.
Capstone intends to a 10,000-square-foot retail building on the out-parcel adjacent to Walmart and hold the balance of the land for future development.
“Sky Vista is a strategically located multi-use land parcel that complements our existing portfolio of income-producing assets,” said Alex Zikakis, president and CEO of Capstone Advisors. “We are bullish on the future of Reno and the clustering effect that follows dominant and cutting-edge technology companies such as Tesla and Switch.”
Sky Vista is surrounded by new commercial and residential development activity, including Amazon’s 1.2 million square-foot state-of-the-art distribution facility, and other major manufacturing and distribution facilities owned by well-known companies such as Petco and Urban Outfitters. The project is also located near the Reno-Stead Airport, chosen by the FAA as a UAV Drone Test Facility, and is expected to be a significant economic driver in the region as the drone industry continues to emerge.
Capstone represented itself in the purchase. The seller was not disclosed.
