Kinda hard to tell even from the renderings. The building looks nice I just wish it were taller.

Are you sure it is not just the lower portion that is topped out with the upper stepped back still left to frame out? Doesn't seem even as tall as the twins yet.

Also there are these webcams. Looks like vertical steel is going up

Majin, I don’t think anybody here would ever question your passion for the central city (with the exception of our tree canopy). But some of the most vibrant cities in the world are cities dominated by low and mid rise buildings. There are plenty of sites in the downtown core for residential high rises should they ever materialize. The two projects Marcos Breton mentions would still add a lot of residential units and much higher densities in addition to erasing years of blight. I love the Shornstein proposal on Capital Mall and it’s not tall. Secondly, it sounds as if Anthem remains open to the possibility of taller projects downtown if demand continues to grow.

I understand what you’re saying about the other mid sized cities seeing high rise residential projects materialize in their downtowns. But the truth is, they don’t have the same construction red tape and added costs that we have here in California to say nothing of the never ending lawsuits being filed.

I’m excited to see construction on J street. I don’t care if they’re 8 or 40 stories as long as they’re quality projects that bring more vibrancy to our central core.

BTW as a side note there’s something to be said about smaller projects. When people buy into a high rise condo or apartment project, the high rises almost end up like self contained cities within a city. People sometimes never venture out of their ivory towers. When i lived at 800 J street, I was out all the time.

Hey, I just read that Tower 301 is breaking ground in 1 week. I also read that the new courthouse is breaking ground next month and the re-design adds 8 more stories and another 100 feet to its height. Also breaking ground next month is the Capital Grand Tower over 900 feet tall. This will join Saca's decision to build his twin 52-story towers at the site of the Metropolitan. Oh, and also read Libeskind came back and it says that he's breaking ground on Aura in January with The Epic going up simultaneously just a block away.. Oh, and I almost forgot... Amazon is building their World Headquarters on K Street next spring at 1075 feet.

Your satire is brilliant. Only 10 years ago all sorts of spectacular condo
high-rises were proposed and not one of them was built. Today they are still
not feasible, that’s why nobody has proposed any. Vanir tower was a joke
from the beginning by not paying any fees to begin the EIR process, just renderings.

Majin is an agitator, you people already know this and he has told me this
when we talked in private massages. He’s driven by one topic and enjoys
watching you guys react to his absurd height is everything argument.

For the foreseeable future it appears only the State of California will be
constructing high-rises in Sacramento, the private sector is not interested and
there is limited record showing the market can pay the high cost to do so.

I was wondering if anyone would be able to get a few photo updates of the Downtown skyline with the cranes that are up and the progress of Natural Resources building? Thank you!

Update to the Sacramento Commons project:

According to Ben van der Meer of the SBJ, the developer announced at the groundbreaking today that they will build BOTH 7 story mid-rises. That’s 436 units! Awesome news.

Will there ever be a increase in the private sector? and what can be done to gain the private sector? Do you think government has a lot to do with these proposal never going threw?

Skyscrapercity has been around for a long time (just like skyscraperpage) and is much bigger. They have way more international users and their US forums are more robust in areas where the SSP forums are lighter (ie. the Midwest outside of Chicago). A quick wiki search reveals that SSP is 4 years older with about 52,000 members. While younger, SSC has over 950,000 users.

I almost never post anything, but I did want to mention all the construction in North Natomas and by the airport. If you haven't driven up the 5 recently, there are several projects under construction. There are several areas (circled) where housing is under construction as well, some not shown on the map (south of Arena). Anyway, a lot is happening, maybe even a new zoo...wishful thinking.



1) Metro Air Parkway Interchange (under construction) - New freeway interchange connecting Metro Air Parkway, which runs up to the 'new' Amazon building. (https://www.bizjournals.com/sacramen...with-more.html)

2) Greenbriar Development (under construction) - Nearly 600 acres, 3K homes, commercial, etc. https://www.cityofsacramento.org/-/m...4B98.PDF?la=en

3) North Natomas Aquatic Center (under construction) - http://bcaarchitects.com/portfolio/n...atics-complex/

4) Spec commercial/industrial (under construction) - sat unfinished for a while, there are several multi-level spec building finishing construction.

5) Hilton Garden Inn (complete) - just recently finished

6) Centene Sacramento Campus (under construction) - currently, two large, 4 story office buildings as part of new campus that takes up that entire area off Arena/I5 - https://www.centene.com/news/centene...to-campus.html

7) Another hotel under construction - not sure what it is yet.

8) Natomas Crossing Apartments (under construction) - Not too exciting, but it's getting pretty dense right there. - https://www.cityofsacramento.org/-/m...-WEB.pdf?la=en

9) Wyndham Garden Hotel (under construction) - https://www.wyndhamhotels.com/wyndha...tomas/overview

Thanks for that summary, but I think it's safe to say most people on this forum are interested in growing urban density and building high rises, not depressing suburban sprawl.

yes it is, sorry, put two 7's. It's the larger of the two. Anyway, no it's not high-density construction downtown, but it's nice to see Sacramento growing, not to mention some activity on this often silent thread.
