Dickson Commercial Group is pleased to announce the successful sale of 500 University Way, a unique multifamily asset located in the heart of Downtown Reno. Gerrit Hillebrand, CCIM proudly represented the seller in this transaction, bringing a well-positioned property to market and connecting it with a buyer seeking opportunity in one of Northern Nevada's most dynamic neighborhoods.
As demand continues to grow for well-located housing and redevelopment opportunities, this transaction reflects the ongoing strength of the Reno multifamily property market and the appeal of assets located near major employment, education, and entertainment hubs.
Situated at the intersection of E. 5th Street and University Way, 500 University Way offers a location that is difficult to replicate. The property sits within walking distance of the University of Nevada, Reno, Greater Nevada Field, The ROW, and numerous restaurants, entertainment venues, and downtown amenities.
Its proximity to Interstate 80 and North Virginia Street provides convenient regional access while maintaining a strong connection to Reno's urban core. For investors evaluating a Reno multifamily property, location remains one of the most important drivers of long-term value, and this asset checked many of the boxes that continue to attract interest in the market.
The 6,807-square-foot multifamily complex features two-story block and masonry construction, 14 on-site parking spaces, and renovations completed in 2019. Built in 1966, the property offered investors a combination of existing improvements and future potential.
Located within the Mixed-Use Downtown Entertainment District, the site presented a range of possibilities. Whether viewed as a multifamily investment Reno opportunity, a student housing concept, or a future revitalization project, the property's flexibility contributed to its appeal among prospective buyers.
For many investors, identifying assets with multiple potential paths forward is a key part of building value. This multifamily investment Reno opportunity stood out because of its location, zoning, and proximity to one of the region's largest student populations.
Downtown Reno has experienced significant transformation over the past decade. Public and private investment, population growth, and continued economic diversification have strengthened investor confidence throughout the region.
As a result, demand for Northern Nevada multifamily real estate has remained strong, particularly for properties located near major employment centers, entertainment districts, and educational institutions. Assets that offer redevelopment potential or repositioning opportunities often generate substantial interest from buyers seeking long-term growth.
This transaction demonstrates how investors continue to recognize the value of Northern Nevada multifamily real estate in strategic urban locations. With limited inventory and increasing demand, opportunities like 500 University Way continue to attract attention from both local and out-of-state buyers.
Successfully marketing and selling investment properties requires more than simply listing an asset. It requires understanding how to position a property's strengths, communicate its potential, and connect with the right audience of qualified buyers.
For the ownership of 500 University Way, our focus was on highlighting the property's unique combination of location, zoning, accessibility, and future opportunity. Those characteristics resonated strongly within the market and ultimately contributed to a successful outcome.
Transactions like this reinforce why investors continue to seek Reno multifamily property opportunities and why multifamily investment Reno remains a highly searched and competitive segment of the commercial real estate market. They also underscore the continued demand for quality Northern Nevada multifamily real estate as the region grows and evolves.
