This Thursday the 11th, the Sacramento Planning and Design Commission will conduct a public hearing and approve this 6 story, 159 unit residential mixed-use project. This CFY Development Inc. and the Capitol Area Development Authority project is ready to go and construction could begin as soon a Spring 2018.  About 12 years ago another proposal closely resembling this one was also proposed for this site, but it did not get out of the gates early enough before the market went south.

2017 Year-end Snapshot: Sacramento Office

Colliers International released a report last week showing declining vacancy, modest rent growth and healthy investment in 2017. Colliers report highlights: Net Absorption was positive, but 18 percent below the 5-year average due to scarcity. The Vacancy rate reached the lowest point since early 2003, before the last development boom. New development picked up late in 2017, with several new build-to-suit projects underway. In addition, average rents increased modestly overall, Downtown asking rates increased more sharply. For those wondering about a new office tower being built downtown in the near future, back in 2015 pre-leasing agents for the Vanir Tower said that rents would have to rise to $3.10 a square foot before the Vanir Tower could be built and profitable. Last year the year over year asking rate rose 6.2% to $2.56 per SF compared to $2.41 per SF in Q4 of 2016.

The new building will be approximately 360, 000 total square feet, 11 stories at a cost of $274 million. The building will include first floor retail and a food court-style cafeteria with approximately 1,150 employees.

 Down the street at 7^th & O Street the State is also planning to construct another office building, construction is not expected to begin till early 2019. So far, these are the only large scale office projects expected to break ground in the near future downtown.
