Believe it or not, construction began on the Sacramento County Courthouse on November 16, 2020. Be sure to view the OxBlue webcam here.

There seems to be a bit of confusion at to how tall it will be when completed. After I reached out to both the contractor, Clark Construction and the State of CA Dept. of General Services (DGS), they both confirmed with me the final height will be 270’. It’s remarkable that it finally got to this point after first being delayed in 2012 and again indefinitely in 2016 when then Governor Jerry Brown diverted funds from the courthouse bond to backfill the state’s budget and those funds were never returned. After a nine year delay, the state budget restored the funds in 2018 to begin the bidding process in 2019.

1601 I Street Development Site

Back in May of last year this proposal from Newmark Cornish & Carey came forward within the “Theater” district in downtown Sacramento. A hotel or multifamily development could be built here. This is not a real proposal, just a land offering summary to those that might be interested in land located near so many popular sites. This summary lists both comparable hotels and multi-family developments that already exist or were under construction at the time. It also lists who the regions largest private sector employers are.
