At the corner of 6^th & H Streets, two tower cranes are soon going to rise above the Sacramento County Courthouse project site. A few weeks ago the OX Blue camera was turned off to the public, but if you take a little walk around the area, there are several good spots to check it out. Construction began in November 2020 and is estimated to complete in December 2023. This high-rise will be 270 feet, 17 stories (+1 mechanical level), 18 total stories with 1 level of parking below, 53 courtrooms, 566,895 square-foot building will cover an entire city block (2.5 acres) and house the court’s criminal and civil operations. At an estimated cost of over $501 million, the project also includes a large jury assembly room, food services, civil settlement center and will bring all of the court’s administrative arms under one roof. Project is targeting LEED Silver, tracking for Gold. The State bought the land in 2014 for $10 million. Clark Construction, Courts.ca.gov, Sacramento Granicus, Sacramento Courthouse Construction.
