I don’t know to believe anymore. Projects get proposed and nothing comes of it or delayed for several years. The one project that I am absolutely stunned and impressed with is 19J. By city standards, construction started quickly. If sales go well, I wonder if she will go bolder and built downtown somewhere in the 12-15 story range.

I know I should I have that the 350 sure would help but regardless that wouldn’t be enough like you said. I don’t think the NBA cares much about the quality of the rooms as so much as the quantity tho. However, it would be nice for people to stay in Rtiz Carltons and Marriotts instead of Motel 6’s.
Like Sfecnoc said before, the office market is in the right direction at the wrong time, and so is the residential market. While suburbs like Natomas are booming again, there isn’t enough apartments on the grid. Like you I’m glad that 19J is being built and that it didn’t take long to start, in fact I passed by a week ago and it already is on its 6th story and some windows have been implanted, but there are other projects that are moving wayyyyyy too slow (cough 19Q 20PQR and 621 Cap cough).
Regarding building height, LivingInUrbanSac said that building heights for apartments are growing taller, up to 11 stories, but it still isn’t tall compared to other similar cities like Atlanta/Buckhead, Raleigh/Durham, and Austin. Those cities used to have no upscale condos, yet so many condos are going up in those cities while Sac is still at Stage 1. Hopefully the market will soon prove that demand justifies building taller and that construction costs could fall if Trump cancels the tariff policy.
Speaking of building height and upscale condos, The Metropolitan’s deadline is approaching rapidly. Saca has until July 16th to start the project or else it’ll be cancelled. Looks like another failed project for the city and we’ll have to wait for the next boom for high rise proposals to pop up. For now it looks like we are stuck at mid rises.
