21st & Capitol Ave. Parking Structure

21st & Capitol Ave. Parking Structure

Phase one of the proposed Whole Foods project is coming together. Even though Whole Foods is no longer going to be the ground floor tenant for the L Street second phase of the project, the parking garage intended to replace the parking structure that was to be demolished for the Whole Foods project is nearing completion.

21st & Capitol Ave. Parking Structure

The second phase is planned for 2001/2015 L Street that would include 41,000sf market on the ground floor. Above the market would be 141 residential units and parking. No date of when Phase two might start without a ground floor grocery store tenant.

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.
