A building permit was filed today with the City of Reno’s building department for the 50 South Virginia property, also know as the old federal post office downtown.
It is for a project identified as West Elm.
The project is for tenant improvements, including non-structural partitions, ceilings, finishes, mechanical, electrical and plumbing. The permit also indicates, “selective demolition and new build out of a leased space in an existing building.”
The property has been seeking a large national retailer since it was announced last year on ThisisReno.com what was proposed for the former post office building.
West Elm is a Williams-Sonoma company that offers “unique furniture and accessories for modern living.”
A new Reno West Elm location is listed on the company’s Facebook page at 50 South Virginia Street: https://www.facebook.com/westelmreno/
A request for comment was sent to West Elm’s public relations representative.
