Fort Sutter Hotel

Fort Sutter Hotel - Sacramento, CA Capitol Ave. & 28th Street

The 105-room boutique hotel in Midtown Sacramento appears to be nearly completed and ready to cater to B-Street Theatre and Sutter Hospital visitors. The hotel will include high ceilings and a fireplace and the design will be reminiscent of a big-city boutique hotel.  The hotel will also be one of the first Tapestry Collection hotels, under the Hilton name, in California. Completion of the project is projected to be 2020. It looks like Restaurateur Randy Paragary has added a nice addition to the neighborhood.

‘Swing Space’ Office Building Construction

10th & O Street 'Swing Space' office Bldg. construction


The new 10-story state office mid-rise at the corner of 10th & O Streets in Sacramento has topped out and the exterior skin of the building is nearly completed and wrapped around the structure. IMO, the exterior skin looks much different from the renderings.

Colliers reported that “At least 20% of Sacramento area restaurants have already permanently closed due to the current pandemic. The most recent announcement was PF Chang's at 16th & J Street. Many more small businesses will close as a result of these new business shutdowns and restrictions.”  In addition, “The State of California has paused new office leasing. And many companies are considering or are already in the process of downsizing as executives consider implementing extended or permanent work from home policies. Colliers Sacramento's Q2 2020 Sacramento Office Market Snapshot will be later this week.
