This section has been authorized for about 940 models, split among about 790 single-relatives homes and 150 townhomes, in a neighborhood termed Sierra Reflections that was initial OK’d by Washoe County in 2006.
Building the land, in whole or in component, isn’t a issue of sale, and a customer could pick to depart the land untouched, Drakulich claimed.
When St. James’s Village broke ground in 1996, the house lay in the hinterlands, but in the ensuing 25 several years, “the environment has gotten a lot closer,” Drakulich mentioned, especially companies.
With a far more convenient location, the continuing require for housing in Reno, and an influx of affluent transplants during the pandemic, “we believe that it truly is primary time proper now (to sell the property). We sense the timing is great.”

Presented that new residences in St. James’s Village will be so considerably pricier than households in Sierra Reflections — and offered the freeway presently divides the property — it can be good to talk to why the residence just isn’t being sold as two tracts, not 1.
“It certainly could catch the attention of two different kinds of developers,” Drakulich reported, but “the entrepreneurs want to promote (both of those sections) collectively. They are adamant.” (The entrepreneurs, considering that at the very least the early 1990s, have been a loved ones from Saudi Ar
