The ground floor is gorgeous. I love the height, the glass, the brick. A+
This is one of my favorite projects in midtown and all of Sacramento area. It’s a well planned/designed project that actually fits midtown, its surrounding area, and has quality materials. Its location is also prominent, being at the intersection of 16th St and J St, directly across from Sacramento Auditorium, a block away from the Convention Center and a bevy of businesses around. Theres a good amount of foot traffic around this area as well, definitely more pre-covid. I Really hope this project hits a shovel ASAP.
Well said! Build!
This is so overdue — looking forward to seeing it go up.
This is a beautiful project that contributes to a higher traffic pedestrian corridor. The half brick facade gives a nod to the historic cannery area now mostly occupied by Blue Diamond Almonds. I can’t wait to see the fished product.
Great project, only downside is that their is not grocery on the ground floor as was originally anticipated at this location.
This project has been kicked around for a while. I am glad to see it move forward. Although I would love to see a grocery store in the area, I am happy that the developer plans to include ground-floor retail. (Far too many proposals these days lack ground-floor restaurant and retail space.)
Agree with all the commenters. Can’t get shovels in the ground soon enough. Hoping the City does what’s needed to efficiently get this through the permit review & approval process.
