19J Demolition of Site

Demolition of building at 19th & J Street making way for
Mohanna Developments 11 story mixed-use building















The self-financed 11 story mixed-use apartment project started demolition of the site last Friday. The project would have 173 residential units and 6,600 sf of ground floor retail.

I’m surprised the city’s planning commission approved demolition without a solid date for when construction would begin. The central city has a terrible track record of clearing a portion of a block anticipating construction only to see it sit there empty for years or even decades. Mo Mohanna track record for finishing what he started is dismal as well. Back in 1978 his company built some homes in Rocklin, other than that his own website does not offer more than proposals that never were built.

The cost of the project has not been stated but Mohanna Development bought the site last year for $2.5 million. I estimate the construction costs for the building to be around $50 million. Hopefully Mohanna will be able to build the project as planned, the central city could use some more housing.
