SUBMITTED NEWS RELEASE
Since Basin Street Properties, a prominent West coast and Reno real estate investor in commercial and mixed-use properties, purchased the Mill @ McCarran mixed-use property project in Reno in mid-2010, it has become to be one of the fastest growing real estate projects in northern Nevada. This growth has continued with the announcement that Kautz Environmental Consultants, Inc. has signed a five-year lease to with Basin Street Properties (www.basin-street.com) to move its offices into Mill @ McCarran project located at 5580 Mill St. in Reno. Kautz Environmental Consultants will occupy 3,957 square-feet in the 129,767-square-foot, five building project that is designed for office and light industrial use.
Kautz Environmental Consultants had shared an office with Frontier Financial Credit Union prior to the move.
“We have greatly enjoyed developing our business while sharing space with the Frontier Financial Credit Union,” said Robert Kautz, Kautz Environmental Consultants president. “However, our company has reached a milestone, and we are looking forward to leasing an expanded suite of offices and lab space from Basin Street Properties at Mill @ McCarran. This move nearly doubles our current square footage to accommodate our increasing client base and work flow.”

“It’s great to work with the diversity of business in northern Nevada to solve how we can accommodate their real estate needs for now and the future,” said Scott Stranzl, Basin Street’s vice president of leasing. “Basin Street Properties is always looking for opportunities to assist our tenants to supply unique and effective real estate solutions. Kautz Environmental Consultants was looking to expand its business and we were able to quickly determine their needs for a successful expansion and then find a location that met these needs so they can best serve their clients. Mill @ McCarran also offers many conveniences for Kautz Environmental Consultants’ employees including being just minutes from the US-395 and Interstate 80, and also being within close proximity to a variety of shopping/dining amenities.”
