800 Block Demolition
Last year the 800 block of L Street began to fail and the city swiftly recommended the demolition. It appears they are in the final clean up stage of clearing the area. Demolition of that building and the one to the east of it has now cleared way for one of the six-story buildings. When the 800 block of K & L Street does begin construction, the plans are to build 148 apartments and have 10,000 square feet of retail in the area.

CA Natural Resources Headquarters
$598 million project, 20-story, 838,000-square-foot. I admire the street view of the building as seen when going west on P Street. The way some of the windows have brown fins rising off the glass, giving the exterior a texture and variation compared to the rest of the flat glass wrapped around the building. Thus far, the pedestrian plaza on the north side along O Street is a the least attractive view of the structure. Then there is the top of the building, the mechanical three story grey box on the roof that is only seen from the west, (the most photographed view of the skyline) a giant box that sticks out in a terrible way. If you observe the same tower from the Capitol looking west, the mechanical level is wrapped with glass to disguise what’s on top of the high-rise. The State also did this when building the EPA building on I Street in 1999, from the rail yards you can see the ugly mechanical roof but it you view the same building from the south or the Capitol, there is a nice glass wrap to hide all the stuff on the roof. You might get the idea that these offices are designed to have the most attractive side face the Capitol where the political wonks see the city skyline.

Capitol Park Hotel Renovation
In late January the former Capitol Park Hotel began the process renovating the hotel into a shelter for homeless. In 2019 the Sacramento City Council approved lending Mercy Housing California $13.37 million to buy the hotel at 9th and L Streets. When completed, the building will have 134 studio apartments and completed in about 20 months. The cost to renovate the units is shocking, costing $445,000 each and a total cost of $58 million to only house 134 people. If it stays on budget, the project will come to $1,100 per square foot. Once the city, SHRA and Mercy Housing California convert the Capitol Park Hotel into a triage center homeless shelter, “the City will allocate $300,000 for overtime police presence in the area immediately surrounding the rehousing shelter,” according to council agenda documents.
The Capitol Park Hotel was originally built in 1912, the building has had many purposes over the decades including as a furniture store and warehouse, two separate hotels, and a business college. Known as the Capitol Park Hotel since the 1960s, it was constructed as two separate buildings connected on all but one of its floors.
Across the street there is a proposal for a 14-story Canopy by Hilton hotel.
