Office moving in Downtown and Midtown Reno

The urban core of Reno has about 3,507 residents and sits at 4,497 feet. Its blocks mix older multi-story buildings, converted storefronts and newer mixed-use space. Offices turn over often, so many moves here are driven by lease dates, not growth.

What a 77.8 percent renter share tells a mover

In this part of Reno, 77.8 percent of households rent and 22.2 percent own, based on the Census Bureau's survey. A neighborhood of renters is a neighborhood of landlords, building managers and leases, and the same pattern usually applies to office space.

Leases end on set dates. That is why the first question the estimator asks is when you must be out and when you can get in. If the dates leave a gap, furniture can wait in the Sparks warehouse.

Short drive, tight curb

The yard is 2.2 miles from the heart of downtown, so crews arrive in minutes. The harder part is the curb. Downtown streets have limited stopping room, and a truck needs a plan: a loading zone, a lot, or a reserved space cleared by the building.

Ask your building manager and the City of Reno what applies, then give the estimator the answer.

• Elevator reservation and floor protection
• Loading zone or dock hours
• Truck parking for the day
• Building rules on moving hours

Older buildings, newer buildings

Older multi-story buildings may have small freight elevators or stairs. Newer mixed-use buildings may have loading docks with schedules. The estimator walks the route from the door to the suite and counts the stairs and the elevator rides, since that sets the crew size and the time.

Evenings and weekends

A downtown office can move after hours without blocking customers or neighbors. Commercial crews work evenings, weekends and holidays by arrangement. Read about after-hours moves.
