The 110-year-old Capitol Park Hotel is starting to look livable, renovations of the historic building will finished soon and the Sacramento homeless will be able to move in.

If you look at just the per square foot cost, this is the most expensive residence in Sacramento county. The age of the building means the renovation is costing more than $445,000 per unit., but costs have gone up so this is now a low number.

Legal Trouble For Capitol Annex

North entrance into the California State Capitol
A December court ruling has delayed the demolition of the existing Annex and construction of a new building, parking garage and visitor center by requiring the state Department of General Services to recirculate its environmental impact report for public input.

As reported by CapRadio, neither legislative leaders nor DGS have released a new timeline for the project or its received impact reports following the court ruling. The Annex portion of the Capitol was closed over a year ago and demolition has not begun.

Opponents of the planned $1.2 billion revamp of the California state Capitol Annex are calling for the state to reconsider the entire project. the state is projected to experience a budget deficit of more than $22 billion this year.
