Jones Vargas Moves Reno Headquarters to Basin Street Properties’ 300 E. Second St. Building
Project To Be Renamed “Jones Vargas Center”
RENO, Nev. – Sept. 7, 2010 – Jones Vargas, a leading Nevada-based law firm, today announced its intended move from 100 W. Liberty St. in Reno to Basin Street Properties’ 300 E. Second St. facility in downtown Reno, immediately adjacent to the Reno Aces baseball stadium. Basin Street Properties (www.basin-street.com), the largest office landlord in downtown Reno, signed the 10-year lease agreement with Jones Vargas, starting in May 2011, to provide 25,527 square feet of office space in the 136,497-square-foot building. Jones Vargas will occupy the 15th floor of the building at which time it will be renamed the “Jones Vargas Center.”
“Making this move makes strategic sense for Jones Vargas in that it gives us opportunities and comforts we did not have in the past; as well as emphasizes our commitment to downtown Reno and its redevelopment,” said Michael Alonso, Jones Vargas stockholder. “This space allows our Reno headquarters to be on a single floor and even gives us additional space for growth as we look to the future. Also, the location of the building is in a truly special area that is taking off and we want to support it and be a part of. The development and evolution of the area with things such as the Freight House District, the soon-to -open The Slice pizzeria, Aces Stadium and the capitol upgrades Basin Street Properties continues to make on the property make this a great fit for Jones Vargas.”
