Sacramento ESC Steel & Decking Photos

It looks as if the shell of the Sacramento arena project is about half done. Currently metal framework and decking are being erected creating a bowl for where the center of the court will eventually be.

Ice Blocks Project

Next week the Ice Blocks Project will be up for review with the Preservation Commission. The Ice Blocks by Heller Pacific, Inc., develops three half-blocks consisting of 142 residential units, 63,900 square feet of commercial uses and approximately 54,853 square feet of office. Block 1 of the three block project is listed in the California Register of Historical Resources.

Ice Blocks on the R Street Corridor


If all goes as planned, the building on R Street between 16th and 18th streets could start construction as early as September. This $80 million project has been in the planning stages for the past 20 years but either a tumbling economy or bureaucrat opposition stopped the project. With city crews completing the multimillion-dollar upgrade of R Street, this will help cap the end of a growing and evolving district. 

Back in 2006, here is what the Ice Blocks proposal looked like: Ice Blocks Renderings
