Resources Building $461 Million Renovation

This fifty eight year old State owned office building is currently undergoing a $461 million dollar renovation. Built in 1964, the Post War International Style building was the tallest structure on the Sacramento skyline when completed the fourth largest office building west of Chicago. The 17-story 657,000-square-foot building cost $15 million to construct at the time.

Due to its age, the Resources Building at 1416 9th Street, Sacramento, CA 95814 is considered historic and subject to review by the State Historic Preservation Office. It will cost $688 per square foot to renovate the building and is scheduled to be completed in spring of 2025. This project includes changes required to meet current occupant life safety codes, seismic deficiencies, and occupant health requirements. Back in 2015 the estimated cost for renovation was $155 million, ten times the structure’s original cost.

Broadway Bridge Project

Sacramento Broadway Bridge seen from Pioneer Bridge

Both the City of Sacramento and West Sacramento have approved the preliminary design for the Broadway Bridge Project. The new  Sacramento River crossing immediately south of Pioneer Bridge could possibly be completed between 2030 and 2035. The estimated bridge construction cost is currently $278 million, but that will most likely rise as these things do until a contractor is chosen and date is set to begin.
