Unit sizes will vary from 600 square feet up to 1,320 square feet. There will be 32 studios, 79 one-bedrooms, and 54 two-bedrooms.

MJS Landscape Architecture, a Newport Beach-based firm, is involved with the project. The property will be wrapped with a line of trees. A side yard and private patios will be built along River Walk Park and River Access road from the east and south walls. The second-level podium will include a pool deck, outdoor dining furniture, and fire pits.
The property is a 1.15-acre vacant lot overlooking the Sacramento River and River Walk Park. Future residents will have views of the Old Sacramento waterfront, Tower Bridge, and the state capitol’s skyline.

Finally riverfront developments on these key parcels. Hoping for a positive update soon on the parcel on the opposite side of the Ziggurat as well.
Agree Rob. These 2 parcels on each side of the Ziggurat Building are probably the most prominent landfill in West Sac. Hope to see both land develop soon. Been sitting dormant for decades
I would like to see some retail/ commercial stores and restaurants on the ground floor of the housing project that span the river trail. I believe this would contribute to the water front and give people a reason to walk the river trail. Think of a boardwalk concept/ Venice beach, or Santa Monica pier. Let’s give people a reason to explore the Sacramento River.
