New plans have been filed for a four-story mixed-use infill at 5617 Elvas Avenue in the affluent East Sacramento neighborhood. The proposal will replace a vacant plot of land with thirty new homes and retail by the CSU Sacramento Campus. HK3 Development is responsible for the application.

The 52-foot tall structure will yield around 22,140 square feet with 2,790 square feet for retail, 900 square feet for two live/work spaces, surface parking for 11 cars, and storage for 18 bicycles. Unit sizes will vary between studios to one bedrooms.
Ellis Architects is responsible for the design. The white stucco podium-style exterior will conform to the triangular 0.32-acre site, punctuated with private balconies and terracotta veneer hues. Facade materials will include stucco, fiber cement siding, surface-bonded brick, and metal panels.

The project will replace a vacant parcel in the residential neighborhood close to the California State University of Sacramento Campus along the American River. The Gold Light Rail station is just under ten minutes away by bicycle. An estimated cost and timeline for construction has not yet been established.
