With land acquisition, entitlements, eight years of planning, and 3 years of infrastructure improvements complete, the Railyard sets its sites on vertical development. Now is a great moment for investors, commercial interest, and development partners to become a part of the future of the Truckee Railyard. The plan for the Railyard builds on a strong sense of community, a well-loved destination, and a world-class location by filling major voids in the Tahoe region’s marketplace. Growth in the full-time population and local economy has created immense unmet demand for workforce housing, live/work space, retail, and office space. Increasingly, Tahoe residents and visitors alike desire a mixed-use, dense and walkable place, which Truckee Railyard is uniquely prepared to offer. Long unmet local and regional demand for entertainment, a grocery store, new restaurants and retail, and civic destinations will be fulfilled by the Truckee Railyard’s expansion of a historic downtown to create a truly complete place at the Gateway to the Tahoe region.

Phase 2a: Trout Creek
