Reflections at the Marina 240 Units in Sparks, NV

Built in 1980, Reflections at the Marina is located in the heart of Sparks, NV. Its proximity to Interstate 80 provides residents with convenient access to the Tahoe-Reno Industrial Park, one of the largest industrial parks in North America and home to the anticipated $5 billion Tesla Gigafactory. The property is also adjacent to The Sparks Marina Park, a 77-acre lake filled by a naturally occurring aquifer, which provides residents with additional amenities such as windsurfing, sailing, swimming, a dog-park, sports facilities and picnic areas. MG Properties plans a $5 million renovation to the 240-unit low-density property which will upgrade the exterior structures, common areas and interior finishes.

The sellers were represented by Kenneth Blomsterberg, Ryan Rife and Ben Nelson of Marcus & Millichap. The acquisition was financed with a bridge loan from Key Bank, arranged by Brooks Benjamin.

According to Christian Garner, MGPG's Chief Investment Officer, "This property represents a great fit for our Reno / Sparks portfolio and allows us to reposition an asset in an improving, dynamic market with forecast employment growth exceeding 6,500 jobs in the industrial park alone".
