ENVOY Anthem Cathedral Square Construction

ENVOY at 1030 J Street in Downtown Sacramento

A tower crane rises over the 11^th & J Street ENVOY construction site as the seven story building fills a corner that has been an eyesore for decades. After several proposals have come and gone, this project looks to be built with quality materials and should bring a lot of people into the area to live. There will be 153 rentals apartments above the retail on the ground floor. This stretch of J Street is in awful shape, hopefully when this is completed others in the private sector and the city government will push out the undesirables who bring down the area.  https://www.hrgarchitects.com/cathedral-square-mixeduse-apartment

Construction of a seven-story apartment building with 153 units, about 10,000 square feet of first-floor retail and a 103-stall parking lot. Amenities will include a fitness center, rooftop deck, lounge and central courtyard. A handful of empty two-story buildings on the site have been demolished. This site was once where Cathedral Square, a 26 story condo was proposed in 2004.

Cost: Canada-based Anthem bought the property for $5 million in 2018. Construction costs not disclosed.

11th & J Street Mixed-Use Proposal

Proposed Anthem Cathedral Square would mixed-use with 153 apt.

After many decades of being in decline, it looks as if this rough stretch of J Street will get a project the market can support. The proposal named Anthem Cathedral Square will be a seven-story mixed-use structure with 153 apartments with retail space on the ground floor. As reported by The SacBee, this proposal would be mid-range of market rate so they will be affordable to more people. It will replace three largely empty and outdated buildings that cover more than half of the block on J Street.

For those who wanted more from this site, like a high-rise, this is something the market does not support. Anthem looked into building a 20-story high-rise but they found it was to expensive. This finding is historically correct, back in 2006 developers St Anton / Cordano Company proposed a 26 Stories, 233 Units with 15K Retail and that never left the drawing board. I hope the developer can get this going soon while the  economy is still strong.
