Resources Building Renovation – Exterior Replacement

1416 9th St. Resources bldg. renovation

The 60 year old Resources Building at 1416 9^th Street is now having the exterior cladding attached. It appears modern and clean, but the exterior has now lost any architectural significance and will soon be a featureless, bland glass tower. The original exterior had character and reflected a time that was the beginning of office high-rises being built in downtown.

The cost to do a total replacement of the exterior must have expanded the overall $461 million renovation costs quite a bit. It was not that long ago in 2010 two 18-story State office towers in downtown were also renovated. Both State offices #8 & #9 at 714 P Street had both interior and exterior upgrades while also keeping the original exterior design. AC Martin rendering

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.

Capitol Park Hotel Renovation

receiving a $58 million renovation

In late January the former Capitol Park Hotel at 1125 9th Street in downtown Sacramento began the renovation process turning the hotel into a shelter for homeless. In 2019 the Sacramento CityCouncil approved lending Mercy Housing California $13.37 million to buy the hotel. The  renovated building will have 134 studio apartments and expected to be completed in about 20 months. It's shocking what the cost to renovate the units will cost at $445,000 each. A total cost of $58 million to only house 134 people. If it stays on budget, the project will come to $1,100per square foot. Once the city, SHRA and Mercy Housing California convert the Capitol Park Hotel into a triage center homeless shelter, “the City will allocate $300,000 for overtime police presence in the area immediately surrounding the rehousing shelter,” according to council agenda documents.

The Capitol Park Hotel was originally built in 1912, the building has had many purposes over the decades including as a furniture store and warehouse, two separate hotels, and a business college. Known as the Capitol Park Hotel since the 1960s, it was constructed as two separate buildings connected on all but one of its floors.

Across the street there is a proposal for a 14-story Canopyby Hilton hotel.

Ambitious Renovation Schedule

State Natural Resources Building in downtown Sacramento, 1416 9th Street

The current Resources Building on 9^th Street has been identified by the State to be in the poorest condition compared to all other state offices in downtown Sacramento at the age of 55 years old.  According to the Legislative Analyst’s Office in 2016, it’s scheduled to be renovated at an estimated cost of $230 million. There are several other older building in downtown Sacramento that are also scheduled for renovations in the next several years including the EDD Headquarters & Annex on Capitol Mall (61 yrs.) at $75 million The BOE building on N Street (24 yrs.) for $55 million and several other smaller renovations totaling an additional $100 million.

The process to complete all these planned renovations is over a ten-year period where staff from existing space move into newly renovated state office space. The schedule has already fallen behind and costs are growing, so it’s hard to say if all planned construction and renovations will be completed as planned. The 2016-17 strategy included construction or renovation of 11 state office buildings but legislative approval will be needed beyond the three specific state office building projects in the Sacramento area.

How this is being funded:

The Sacramento City Council on Sept. 25, 2018 unanimously approved the issuance of up to $350 million in bonds to finance the renovation/expansion of the C3 Project, which includes the Convention Center, the Memorial Auditorium and the Community Center Theater. The bonds will not be repaid from the City’s general fund. Instead, they will be repaid by what’s known as the “transient occupancy tax,” or TOT. This is a 12 percent tax on hotel-room and short-term rental stays used for tourism-related projects.* In addition, local hotels have agreed to pay for the construction of the Convention Centers’ new ballroom, which will cost approximately $45-50 million.

Imperial Tower Renovation

The Imperial Tower, formerly known as the Wong Center is a 12-story mixed-use office/residential building consisting of 187 residential units and 10 commercial spaces.

Interior unit improvements will include new cabinets, counter-tops, flooring, energy efficient appliances, kitchen sinks, window blinds, heating, toilets, lighting and paint in kitchens and bathrooms.

Ten units will be brought into compliance with Americans with Disability Act (ADA) requirements and applicable state accessibility standards. Common area improvements will include new flooring, handrails in hallways, hallway lighting and elevator cab upgrades. Exterior improvements will include new roofing, concrete repairs, paint and site signage. Additional improvements may be completed if there are cost savings and/or remaining construction contingency.
