Kromer Investments has completed a comprehensive renovation of the 340-unit WateringWinds apartment community in Reno. The project modernized the 1980-built property through extensive interior and exterior upgrades requested by residents.
Why it matters
This renovation refreshes an aging housing stock in Reno to meet current resident standards for security and amenities. It reflects a broader trend of institutional property owners investing in existing multi-family assets rather than solely focusing on new construction.
The renovation refreshed 340 total units at the 805 Kuenzli St. site, which was originally constructed as Riverwood Apartments in 1980. This is part of a larger portfolio of 5,500 units across 18 Northern Nevada properties owned by Kromer Investments.

The Home Front
This project aligns with a local trend of refurbishing 1980s-era apartment complexes to align with modern habitability standards. It follows a series of recent developments in the region, including the opening of Stone Village in late 2025.
Renters in older apartment communities should monitor lease renewals for potential adjustments following major building-wide upgrades. If you live in an aging complex, review your lease to see how common-area improvements or security enhancements might affect your utility or maintenance obligations.
The takeaway
Institutional upgrades to older multi-family properties can significantly improve daily living, but often precede market adjustments. Check your lease documentation to understand how building-wide amenity upgrades might impact your current rental terms.
What happens next
The Lemmon Landing apartment complex, currently under development, is expected to come online in the fourth quarter of 2027.
