Renderings have been revealed, along with detailed plans, for an eight-story residential infill project at 1515 I Street in Mansion Flats, Sacramento. The project aims to add 84 affordable housing units between 15th and 16th Streets, just a few blocks from the State Capitol Park. New documents show that the property is owned by Community Housing Works, a Sacramento-based organization.

The roughly 84-foot-tall structure will yield around 73,840 square feet, including 48,270 square feet for housing. Of the 84 residences, there will be 70 one-bedroom units and 14 two-bedroom units. Parking will be included for four cars and 51 bicycles.
Mogavero Architects is responsible for the design. Illustrations show a familiar articulated facade clad with cement plaster, corten steel panels, and brick veneer. The complex will partially wrap around a ground-level courtyard along the western edge of the lot. The two-tiered courtyard will include a playground, barbecue grills, outdoor seating, and a raised terrace.
