Tolles has always operated with a deep sense of gratitude and respect for our community. We believe better communities begin with us – and that better developments are just the start.
The team at Tolles devotes a significant portion of our time and resources to local causes that benefit at-risk groups and the greater health of our communities. From homelessness to the arts, we’re proud to support and participate in efforts that make the world a better place.
Eddy House is a non-profit dedicated to ending youth homelessness in Northern Nevada. Through a 24-hour shelter, outreach and education programs, they provide a safe place for homeless and at-risk youth to develop the life and job skills necessary for sustainable independence. Cory Hunt has served as Chair of the Board of Directors and has played an integral role in the organization’s success; in particular, he has led the development of their Transitional Living Community, a 36-unit studio apartment building tailored for homeless individuals aged 18 to 24.
Tolles has partnered with the University of Nevada on the Nevada Fieldhouse designed to serve Wolf Pack athletics and the wider student body. Partners and Nevada alumni Cory Hunt and Tyler Lantrip (former Nevada quarterback) have lead the financial planning, architecture, design, and project management for the project, which provides a year-round venue for training, recreation, and events. The Fieldhouse features a full indoor turf field, sport-specific netting, and equipment zones that gives Nevada Football the flexibility to train in all conditions. Rolling garage doors open directly to Wolf Pack Park, creating side-by-side indoor and outdoor facilities.
