Is it just me or did Henmi draw the same building twice for the Met and Cathedral Square. I see some good points and some bad. Its cool I guess that they are close and very similar, but the ground floors look identical. I'd hate to have to deal with that kind of visual duplication. It might make there area look redundant and boring. feel free to disagree.

it sure looks like it. i really hope the metro gets built though.

what's the word on the metro?

We might get some news a year from now? The housing market in Sac's not
good and lenders are hard to fine. Cross your fingers for 2009.

austinjfox · #45 Posted **Aug 31, 2008, 2:36 AM**

hopefully. this would be great to see go up.

austinjfox · #46 Posted **Oct 2, 2008, 4:33 AM**

so is it totally dead right now?

We like to use the term "on hold". It gives us more hope.

But I think Saca's waiting to start this one until at least next year. The buildings on the site haven't even come down yet.

dude that sucks. mostly for saca. but hopefully the market will be better when it gets built. whats the deal with cathedral square by the way?

Has anyone heard anything new about the "Metropolitan" ? Would love to see this project started.

ltsmotorsport · #50 Posted **Feb 26, 2013, 8:02 AM**

Nothing for quite some time now. This corner could really use this building and the residents it would bring. At this point though, I haven't even heard if Saca still has site control so this project is in suspended animation.

Saw this posted in the Sac Bus Journal over the holiday weekend... it's a little preliminary, but still very exciting to see this type of news popping up again.

Is the long-mothballed Metropolitan high-rise project back?

It's back.

Looks like Saca now owns all of the property he needs for the footprint of The Metropolitan.

Semi off topic - what was the very large building that was approved(?) then killed because of the recession?

There were a couple... The Towers project on 3rd & Capitol (50+ floors), The Capitol Grand Tower (70 floors), Meridian II (24 floors), Aura Condos (38 floors)... I'm sure there are more, but I believe these met their demise at the recession.
