800 Block Demolition

Corner of 8th & L Streets

Last year the buildings at the 800 block of L Street began to fail and the city swiftly recommended the demolition. It appears they are now in the final clean up stage for the area. Demolition of that building and the one to the east of it has now made way for one of the six-story buildings planned for the site. The 800 block of K Street has been an empty hole for a couple decades now, but it now appears to be a staging area for reclaiming bricks from the demolition on L Street.  The historic Bel-Vue apartments on 8^th Street has been renovated and turning into affordable housing. When construction of the 800 block of K & L Street does begin, the plans are to build 148 apartments and have 10,000 square feet of retail in the area.

The project is moving along, although very slow. It appears work on the 110 year old Bel-Vue apartment building is still receiving renovations to bring it back to life.

In an another amazing accomplishment, the 800 Block of K Street is actually in the early stage of development, which includes a mixed-use project and adaptive reuse and preservation of the 110 year old Bel-Vue. Currently the rehabilitation of the Bel-Vue is the main focus of work right now with structural support. The Bel-Vue was accepted to the Sacramento Historic Register in 2016. The Kings purchased the land in January for $5.6 million. No cost has been given for completing this project.

800 Block Design & Review

800 K Street - SW Corner

Yes, after the Sacramento Kings used their option to buy 800 K Street property, they have now submitted plans to the Planning and Design Commission for approval. Ali Youssefi and partners have proposed 148 units, 18,000sf of ground floor commercial, 7 levels (5 residential, 1 retail, 1 below ground parking) for a total of 148,147sf. The proposed height is 85 feet with 130 parking spaces for cars. If built, this will be a great addition to K Street and help in the overall development of the area. I like the outdoor roof space. This project will span from K Street to L Street with the historic Belvue Bldg. standing in between. The new structures will bookend the North and South of the Belvue. No date for starting work has been given and the cost of the project is unknown. Read more about the project HERE.
