175,000 SF LIGHT INDUSTRIAL REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT
CREATIVE-CLASS FLEX / TECH / OFFICE / FOOD & BEVERAGE

The Oddie District is an urban infill redevelopment project on Oddie Boulevard in Metro Reno/Sparks, Nevada. The project is the deconstruction of a former Lowe’s and its reconstruction into a 175,000 sf innovation hub of maker-economy light industrial uses with a 300-seat indoor/outdoor food & beverage & entertainment Oddie Commons as its main entrance. Oddie District is located 10 minutes from the Reno-Tahoe International Airport, 7 minutes from the University of Nevada, Reno, under a mile from Interstate 80 and half mile from Interstate 580.

The Oddie District is the catalyst for a community-centric economic and cultural resurgence of the
Oddie Boulevard corridor.
