A new residential project has been proposed for development at 1900 Capitol Avenue in Midtown, Sacramento. The project proposal includes the construction of a new eight-story residential complex offering 252 dwelling units.
Newport Beach-based Voit Company is responsible for the application. LPAS Architecture + Design is responsible for the designs.
The project site is a parcel spanning an area of 1.8 acres. The scope of work includes the development of a new housing complex offering 252 dwelling units. The units will be designed within two structures as a mix of 22 studios, 172 one-bedrooms, and 58 two-bedrooms.

Both structures will rise 85 feet high and yield 263,200 square feet of total built-up area, including 190,000 square feet for apartments and 21,800 square feet for parking. 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.
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.

As previously covered, 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.
An SB 330 application has been submitted. The project will rise a few blocks from the State Capitol Park at the heart of the city. The estimated cost and timeline for construction have not been shared.

This is the second time a project has been proposed for this same spot and like so many other proposals for new housing in the midtown area over the past few years, it probably will never be built.
I don’t like seeing large, residential-only projects in Downtown and Midtown. This project should have a couple ground-floor retail, restaurant, and entertainment spaces.
