Redevelop Capitol Mall Offices Into Housing
Last year in August the State of California requested architects
and general contractors to look at three state office buildings along Capitol Mall downtown
and see if they can be converted into housing. Fast forward to today, the State of California has now declined any further request for money to move forward with the project... possibly
because the crazy cost to continue and the States budget not as healthy as it once
was. The three buildings that were under consideration were 800 and 801 Capitol
Mall and 751 N Street. The three building could have add 700 units of housing.
and it was clear the state didn’t have the funds for the adaptive reuse study. It
will be interesting to see what other opportunities The California Department of General Services has for these buildings in the near future.

Update: Capitol Mall Redevelopment Proposal
In April of 2021 I posted a grand vision the City of
Sacramento has for the scenic Capitol Mall promenade west of the Capital up to the
Tower Bridge. The city presently wants to spend $500,000 from Sacramento Area
Council of Governments (SACOG) to move forward with the design. As reported by
KOVR 13, the estimated cost to develop this plan could be $16 million, but if
you have been paying attention to government spending (like many have) the real
cost could be closer to $20 million or more.
