Housing Proposed at Former SacBee Building

The city is reviewing a proposal to demolish the former Sacramento Bee building at 2100 Q Street and develop a 538 apartment complex. Shopoff Realty Investments hopes to have it break ground in 2026 and open in 2028. The proposed project will consist of two mirrored wrap buildings, with 5 levels residential apartment and 5.5 levels of parking garage. A pedestrian paseo connecting the 22nd street in the north and the multi-family community in the south is proposed in between the two buildings.

There would be  approximately 3,400 SF leasing and mail on ground level at the corner of Q Street and 23rd Street (or 21st Street for building 2), approximately 3,893 SF amenity space on ground level connecting an on grade pool courtyard facing the paseo, 298 parking spaces, and courtyard facing R Street are proposed within each independently functioning building/community.

The Gateway at Q

At the corner of 21^st and Q Streets across from the vacant Sacramento Bee headquarters, a six story mixed-use building has been approved for construction. The projects a 290,000 square foot building witg 246 residential units and 68 feet tall. No timeline for construction has been given or cost to build.

905 S Street Mixed Use Proposal

Another good looking proposal is in the works on S Street. This would be a seven story residential building with 225 rental units and 6,409 sf of commercial use and expected to cost about $55 million. Construction expected to begin next year.

16th & V Mixed Use Building

This five-story proposal at 2131 16th Street would encompass 57,950 square feet with 60 multi-unit dwellings and 4,634 square feet of commercial space. A design review is currently in progress, no development cost or time for ground breaking has been given.This location is an entry point to the central city just two blocks off the freeway when you exit off Hwy. 50 and has been empty plot of land for many decades.

Yamanee Midrise Approved Again

Round two of the Yamanee approval saga was a mighty blow to those trying to protect midtown from 14-story midrise. This last stand for preservationist and neighborhood associations ended as it began, with the city standing behind the proposal. The united City Council voted in favor of the condominium project despite its height, which would be about 76 feet taller than an apartment complex across the street.

The developer now needs to get financial backing and permits before demolition of the existing buildings can begin. If all goes as planned, the developer hopes to break ground in spring of 2017. As I have said before, this project along with others in the proposal process might not get built because of slowing market conditions, but this seems to be a common occurrence here in Sacramento where economic cycles peak about the time when many developers begin the proposal process. The last cycle left more than a dozen projects on the drawing board downtown as the economy took a dive.

Fort Sutter Hotel Project

Fort Sutter Hotel Project 

Next Thursday April 7^th, the city’s Planning and Design Commission will consider staff’s recommendation to approve the project. The project would include demolition of one two-story building and one single story building. The new hotel will have a bar, restaurant, private dining space, and fitness center on the ground floor. The upper five stories will consist of approximately 107 hotel rooms and a rooftop deck at 78’ feet. The site project site currently has two buildings, one built in the 1920’s and the other in the 1950’s. Neither building meet the qualifications to be considered historic in nature.  Planning and Design Commission Agenda

According to the Sacramento Bee, this will be midtown's first upscale hotel. Before the $20 million 107-room hotel project  can proceed, demolition of two structures, the Capitol Physical Therapy office and the 90 year old Cafe Bernardo building will have to be approved.
