Moving back downtown

Fountainhouse, a 236-unit apartment complex in several buildings in downtown Sparks, is still in scaffoldings but already letting leases. A few hundred yards to the east, another apartment building will be constructed. Next to it, the former Silver Club Hotel has been converted to apartments and is occupied. Smack in the middle of these three properties is the downtown movie multiplex, now shuttered and dark.
