If you read the Colliers Sacramento Market Q2 2019 Office Market Report Final, it says, “Market vacancy rate is now at a 17 year low. Downtown tenants in Class-A high-rise floors facing $3.50/SF rents or higher will seriously consider relocation options in Natomas or other nearby suburban submarkets to cut costs or find more efficient space. ”I would guess this will make it harder fill the proposed Tower 301 where rents are quite a bit higher than 3.50/SF.
In my opinion, its tall but underwhelming. The proposed tower does not give any since of place or add anything unique to Capitol Mall. I had hoped a beautiful building would be proposed at the foot of Capitol Mall, and this is not it. The proposal would not have to be tall, just unique and attractive like the Emerald Tower across the street. Have you seen some of the other dynamic high-rises cities are getting lately when developers spend $500 million or less? For some reason Sacramento just does not inspire architects.
