Kaiser Hospital Plans For Railyards
Kaiser Sacramento Railyards Medical Center |
Earlier this month Kaiser filed plans with the city to develop a medical facility in the Railyards. The main hospital building proposed would have 310-bed in an eight story building in addition to a parking structure, five story support building and energy center. The eight story building would have 657,500 square feet and the total property size for the project would be 17.4 acres at 105 Bercut Drive. Kaiser has an aggressive deadline with plans to begin construction this year. The estimated budget is at least $1.5 billion. To see more renderings and learn more about the project, go to AgencyCounter and click on the yellow dot at the corner of 5th Street and Railyards Blvd.
It looks to me that the land around the car garage could be
developed at a later date to expand and build another “L” shaped hospital…
maybe when the Railyards are fully built out.

Colliers Sacramento Office Snapshot: Q3 2023
The market report by Colliers also stated that some office
owners will have to seriously consider converting properties to alternative
uses to generate income. The State of California selected McCormack Baron
Salazar as the lead developer to convert three state office buildings on
Capital Mall in Downtown Sacramento into upwards of 400 affordable apartment
units. Many local office buildings fail to meet the criteria for viable conversions
to housing. A National Bureau of Economic Research report found only 33
buildings totaling 1.3 million square feet that could realistically be
converted into apartments.

How Not To Add To A Historic Building
Now that the former Capitol Annex is demolished, it’s puzzling to see that the state has not shown an official rendering of what will replace the old structure. Here are some images from 2022 of the proposed Capitol Annex replacement buildings. Much larger, with a glass exterior, overpowering the historic 1860's Capitol, and diminishing the view of the architectural front. It also appears that all approaches to the historic 1860’s capitol are now below grade, changing the historic character of the building.
You could argue that the proposed rendering negatively impact the historic 1860’s capitol.
Constructing a new addition on or adjacent to a primary
elevation of the building which negatively impacts the building's historic
character.
Attaching a new addition in a manner that obscures, damages, or destroys character-defining features of the historic building.
Placing new construction too close to the historic building
so that it negatively impacts the building's character, the site, or setting.
Constructing a new addition that is large as or larger than
the historic building, which visually overwhelms it (i.e.; results in the
diminution of loss of its historic character).
Adding new construction that results in the diminution or
loss of the historic character of the building, including its design,
materials, location, or setting.
Constructing a new building on a historic property or on an
adjacent site that is much larger than the historic building.
