XENON - Reno
The Hawk Group is seeking a partner with the financial wherewithal to participate in a real estate/entertainment venture , a duplicate of two other ventures, XENON Salt Lake and XENON Boise, undertaken under the XENON brand by the Hawk Group, with the background and experience to find unique properties, acquire them and implement a use that generates large cash flow while increasing the value of the real estate.
The property is a 35K square foot building, downtown Reno, on 2 floors with no onsite parking. It is vacant and an eyesore. Built as a casino, today, there are no uses for this building except for the model we propose: an 18-and-over, alcohol-free, European-style, EDM-themed, dance club targeting the college population and the young work force. We have a team in place ready to do the pre-opening work and manage the operation afterwards. The property can be purchased at distress prices.
There is a cost to bring the building to code, however, the last use of the second floor was a night club and with some remodeling and adding the gear needed for a XENON operation, it could be open in a relatively short period of time. The cost to lease or acquire the real estate is not determined at this time. The remodel of the second floor and pre-opening costs, including the hardware, are estimated at $1.1M, and XENON Reno could be open, operating and profitable.
With all the facility operating the net profit will be between $2M and $3M annually.
XENON - Reno
210 No. Sierra Street in Reno is a 35,000 s.f. building with two floors.
Currently, the building is an eyesore between the major hotel operations and the Riverwalk District and Wingfield Park.
History: this was the last casino, purposely built, before Reno passed a law that casinos must build hotel rooms and parking spaces, to obtain a gaming license. The building has no on-site parking.
After the casino failed, a portion of the building was remodeled into a night club that also failed. The space cannot compete with the hotels and there are no alternative uses, except for establishing a XENON operation.

XENON Reno – Second Floor Club
The Plan calls for bringing the upstairs to code and re-open as XENON Reno, and confirm the demand for the product is there and to determine if additional space in the building can be used to expand the club. With this scenario the Financial Projection in the next slide applies.
The attraction is the massive, top-of-the-line, sound system designed, constructed and calibrated to deliver music at top volume and highest fidelity, uniformly, over a large dance area, creating a musical experience unequaled anywhere. Special effects and video systems complete the set-up.
The sub-woofers are located inside the elevated dance floor in the center of the club. The mid-range delivered through an oval-pattern of hanging multi-directional speakers while the high-end delivered from a grid of tweeters that blankets the entire dance area. A marvel of design and execution
The Club is designed, specifically, for Electronic Dance Music (EDM) devotees, providing a sensory and social experience unequaled anywhere, in a chemical-free environment
XENON Reno – First Scenario
XENON Reno, an alcohol-free, 18 & over, EDM-themed, dance club brings the European dance club experience to Reno. It provides a superior musical, dancing and social experience for a 4-hour concert, in a high-energy, safe, and exciting environment provided by the unique management model, developed during decades of operations on both sides of the ocean.
XENON Reno – First Floor Club
After the Second Floor club is opened and performing, a decision is made to operate upstairs or to expand as needed. To the right, is a potential plan to use the First Floor for a second XENON club. In that case the Financial Projection in the next slide will apply If it is determined that demand might not justify expanding into the main floor, the two spaces are separated and XENON operates on the second floor and the first floor would remain available. With both clubs open, XENON Reno, a smoke & alcohol-free, 18 & over, dance club will have a capacity of 2,600.
XENON Reno – Second Scenario
This projection entails expanding the club to include the First Floor with a separate operation, also EDM-themed, but with a different musical format. As an alternative the first floor can se leased separately.
