19J Ready For Renters

1827 J Street, Sacramento, CA - 19J

This 11-story mixed-use mid-rise is ready for renters. There are 173 studio “micounit” ranging from 312 to 460 square feet and renting between $1,635 for a studio and $4,285 for a one bed room. I’m hoping this building fills up and meets the needs of many who say there is not enough housing downtown.

19J Construction

Just like that, 19J has taken down the tower crane and the scaffolding is also being removed. I'm glad Mohanna was able to see this though.

19J Project @ 19th & J Streets

I'm pleased to see construction near a topping-off point, the 11-story mixed-use building is now coming together at a nice pace after a very slow start.

19J Reaches 7th Floor

At a pace of one floor per month, 19J has reached the 7th floor. At this speed it should be topped out by November. It's good to see this is moving right along.

What’s the hold up here? Two floors in 4 months? Well, it could be they needed money… there is now signage on the chain-link fence saying “Construction financed by Bank of the West”. Footing for the tower crane is now installed on 19^th street.

19J Going Vertical

It's truly amazing, Mo Mohanna now has this proposal rising out of the ground. At 11 stories and 124ft, it's hard to tell what kind of crane will be used for this structure. It does not appear that a tower crane foundation has been prepared at the construction site.

19J (Mohannas) Foundation Work

19 J project will be a sustainable 11-story mixed-use building

This project is moving forward with the concrete foundation being poured. The next phase will include light gauge metal studs and shear wall system, which allows engineers to build taller without higher costs of a reinforced concrete building. I believe this is the first residential structure to be built like this in the grid.

I’m still shocked to see Mo Mohanna pull this off. His track record of starting and finishing anything is dismal at best.

Ground Testing for 19J

19J  - 11-story, 175-unit project

The Sacramento Bee's reporting that Mohanna Development Co. will be conducting several weeks of ground testing for foundation piles on site, and formal construction should begin before the end of the month. The building would then open 16 months later. These are positive signs and way beyond my expectations... lets hope it all falls into place. 

19J Demolition of Site

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. 

Proposed 19J Mixed-Use Mid-Rise

19J Mixed-Use proposal by M.H. Mohanna Development

The SacBee’s reporting that midtown has another proposal for a mid-rise building, this one named 19J is located at the corner of 19^th & J Street. M.H. Mohanna Development has expressed that the project would be “self-financed” and could begin building as soon as next year. At 124 feet, this 11 story structure would have 173 residential units and 7,000 SF of ground floor retail.
