The 74-foot-tall structure is expected to yield around 297,780 square feet, including parking for 300 cars and 190 bicycles. The project will provide 595 beds across 165 units. According to the application, prices will be geared toward middle-class and international students rather than luxury renters. The plans have studios for Resident Advisors at a 1:15 ratio, similar to the Hornet Commons dorms. Residential amenities will feature a rooftop deck with hot tubs, a fitness center, and study rooms.

The following statement was shared in the project statement, saying, “In honor of the ancestral tribal land and inspired by the river’s role as a provider and guide, we collaborated with Nevada City Rancheria to present ṡewđi – meaning ‘here at the waterway’ – a student housing community that honors the past while shaping the future.”

Sacramento-based Architects Local is responsible for the design. Renderings show a typical podium-style box with a facade variation that visually breaks down the structure to appear like several smaller buildings. Varying materials will add to this appearance, including stucco, wood-look panels, and curtain-wall glass.

The 1.53-acre property is located at the intersection of Elvas Avenue and Folsom Boulevard. Future residents will be close to the CSU Sacramento campus and a grocery store-anchored retail center. Demolition will be required for the currently vacant commercial building and surface parking, formerly occupied by Building Supply Inc.
