New renderings have been published for the eight-story residential infill at 1900 Capitol Avenue in Midtown Sacramento. The proposal could produce 252 homes across two structures just a few blocks from the State Capitol Park at the heart of the city. The Newport Beach-based Voit Company is responsible for the application.
The 85-foot tall buildings will yield 263,200 square feet, including 190,000 square feet of apartments and 21,800 square feet of parking. Unit sizes will vary, with 22 studios, 172 one-bedrooms, and 58 two-bedrooms. The podium garages and surface parking will provide a capacity for 155 cars, with spatial efficiency achieved through mechanized stackers. Additional space will be provided to park 232 bicycles.

LPAS is responsible for the design. The podium-style proposal features a collage-style facade and ground-level floor-to-ceiling windows along the tree-lined streetscape. The exterior will be clad with plaster, lap-board siding, metal panels, and a mix of red and tan bricks. Both ground floors will include a podium garage and surface parking. The north building lobby will connect to a leasing and co-working lounge, and the south building will offer a fitness studio and yoga room.
Both structures will offer shared open space for all residents alongside private balconies for a handful of units. The third floor will open up a podium-top courtyard landscaped with outdoor furniture, planters, and dining facilities. The north building will include an eighth-floor deck on the northwest corner of the building overlooking Capitol Avenue and toward the city skyline.

The 1.175-acre parcel is located along 19th Street between Capitol Avenue, N Street, and the Western Pacific Railroad. If built, the project will retain the Matsui Alley cut-through. The estimated cost and timeline for construction have not been shared.

Long overdue urban infill for that part of town.
A couple more hundred underutilized parking lots and empty low-slung commercial building in Midtown should have the same fate
This is amazing
