Developers are planning on building over 1,600 apartment units, 75,000 square feet of retail and 50,000 square feet of offices.

Reno Lands Inc. say a few building will be up by the end of year and people will be able to move in next summer.

Several city and state leaders attended the ceremony including Governor Brian Sandoval, Reno Mayor Hillary Schieve and U.S. Senator Catherine Cortez-Masto.

Governor Sandoval is pleased to see something being done to the vacant Park Lane Mall lot.

"Most exciting for me is the anticipation that is going on. I'm somebody that has been coming to this mall since 1970, it use to be the place. For it to get knocked down and essentially be a monument to the economy, where nothing was happening here. Now we are coming through this life cycle of the city and it's going to bring exciting things and be a quality place to live and work," said Governor Sandoval.

"I don't think Reno has ever seen anything like this come at them this is done a lot in the bay area, but Reno is ready for this type of development and we're here to deliver," said Chip Bowlby, Reno Land Inc. CEO.

The project is expected to cost $500,000. The project will be completed in phases over the next three to five years.

Parents of Student Murdered by Maintenance Man Sue Apartment Complex

He pleaded guilty to murder late last year, now the case of a maintenance worker who killed a Blinn student is back in court. The parents of 20-year-old Jenna Verhaalen are suing the Bryan apartment complex where she was killed. Verhaalen was strangled at the Autumn Woods Apartments in 2008, by 27-year-old maintenance worker Jeremiah Rosser . The suit claims Autumn Woods ignored complaints made about Rosser. Specifically, a complaint they claim Jenna made to Rosser's boss, when he entered her apartment while she was in the shower. The suit alleges the complex's negligence led to Jenna's death. Attorneys for Autumn woods said management had no reason to believe Rosser was a risk. However, that's not what the complex's corporate office told News Three in 2008. Back then, a spokesperson said Jenna complained to the maintenance supervisor about Jeremiah Rosser , but never filed a complaint with the office. Rosser quit his job at Autumn Woods several day

Charlotte affordable housing forum raises possible solutions

There’s a big demand for more affordable housing in Charlotte, where rents and home prices have shot up much faster than wages over the past few years. Many of the apartments being built now target more affluent renters, waitlists for housing vouchers are long and starter homes are snapped up almost immediately. So why aren’t developers building more affordable housing ? That was one of the main questions at a candidate education panel hosted by the Greater Charlotte Apartment Association on Friday, where about two dozen candidates for Charlotte City Council turned out to learn some of the basics on a complicated subject. “ Affordable housing is one of the topics you’ll talk about a lot,” Bryan Holladay, who supervises the group’s government affairs outreach , told the candidates.
