Detailed plans have been shared for a residential development at 930 Blaine Avenue in Robla, Sacramento. The proposal aims to bring new density to a single-family lot and contribute to the neighborhood’s ‘missing middle’ housing types. RPM Development & Engineering is responsible for the application.

Construction will yield five new buildings, of which four will rise two stories, and one will be a single story. The development will add nine one-bedroom units, each spanning a full floor and roughly 550 square feet. The existing single-family home will remain on site, and surface parking will be provided by the rear edges of the lot.
Ramon Baguio is responsible for the design. Facade materials will include wood-look fiber cement panels and stone lining. The proposed building will feature a mix of wood-stone and floor-to-ceiling windows.

The project is in the heart of a sprawling suburban neighborhood, with the nearest public park 15 minutes away on foot and the nearest grocery store twenty minutes away on foot. The 0.57-acre site is near to the now-open Archer Estates subdivision, developed by KB Homes.
City records show the property was last sold by the previous occupants in July 2024 for $220,000. The estimated cost and timeline for construction have yet to be shared.

Yes, more housing density in suburban wastelands, all for it.
Good site plan hideous elevations
This is good news but appears to be only 9 units in 2 stories.
Terrible project No Continuity with existing neighborhood. Too bad this developer and architect has no peripheral vision.
