I don't hate the courthouse drawings. They have that 50s government modern vibe. I do think that rounding off the top corners might take it up a notch.

Majin · #**6782** Posted **May 16, 2018, 5:25 PM**

Why do they keep making those plaza's on all of the government buildings? It create big large gaps with "public spaces" that no one uses.

snfenoc · #**6783** Posted **May 16, 2018, 7:48 PM**

Probably for security? They say those plazas are welcoming, but I never feel welcome when armed to the teeth cops are staring me down the moment I step foot on public property. I’d rather they build a park or some housing with retail in those spaces.

I like the building, but it should be in another location. I'd say maybe rotate it, but the sun bouncing off the windows if they face east to west would be difficult in the summer.

I don't mind the building, and I know the location is to be close to the jail, but I wish they would be a little more imaginative with the site design. IMO, the tower should be angled to the street grid instead of conforming to it. Have it go from the SW corner to the NE. The skyline would certainly get some interest with the added angling.

The plaza is also a very traditional courthouse design so I wouldn't expect much different there. Would be nice if there were some progressive ideas to liven up the space but I doubt that would happen for security concerns (even though the space is public).

I still think we will have at least 4 or 6 midrises/highrises by 2021 erected or under construction and this is one of them.

I would hope that this gets started on, they said last year that it would start and the year before that and nothing happened so let's hope that no delays will occur so that the project will finally start.

I have to say, K Street is becoming remarkably active w/proposals of The Hardin, Greyhound, Hyatt, 800K, and maybe even Shorenstein which is a short distance away. Perhaps K street will be the R street of Downtown with even more dense and taller buildings in the near future? Only time will tell...

Delays will always be a problem....

Developers of 1717 S St. project seek financing
By Ben van der Meer – Staff Writer, Sacramento Business Journal

With its financing uncertain, a mixed-use project at 1717 S St. in midtown Sacramento may not begin construction until next spring at the soonest.

Project partners CFY Development Inc. and Capitol Area Development Authority are looking for other financing sources for the 159-apartment project, which is expected to cost about $63 million.

“Increase in interest rates and HUD eliminating the funding program we were planning to use to fund the project has us scrambling to find a substitute source of funding,” said Todd Leon, a project director with CADA affiliate Capitol Area Community Development Corp., in an email.....

Sigh...two steps forward, one step back.

Funny you should bring up the Marshall project. SBJ said yesterday that construction of the Marshall/Hyatt Centric is going’s to start this summer. The last tenant left just a month or so ago.

does anyone think the vanir tower is ever going to be built?

DLMugsrove · #**6791** Posted **May 26, 2018, 4:18 AM**

I'm optimistic it will, even if it takes some time. Sooner or later, there will be a need for a lot more Class A office space downtown.

Honestly I hope if it does that they will redesign it. I'm not of fan of the current proposal.

If there is one good thing about waiting to see this building come to fruition is maybe a better design comes along.

What are the issues with the vanir design? It’s not an iconic building by any means and is stubby, but all glass is nice.

Spend much time downtown during our long hot summers? All glass facades are not very friendly to pedestrians. When I walk past the USBank building on Capitol I sometimes feel like an ant under a magnifying glass.

Its been over ten years since I have been to San Francisco and wow has its gone vertical , I was hoping when i came home from my 7 year vacation starting in 2009 Sacramento would have done the same i was happy to see the golden one center built , does any one think we will ever get vertical and how high, and how long?

One more groundbreaking for this week.

65th and Folsom 184 units being proposed.

Now this....

An application for a 97-Unit, 8-story, mixed-use apartment building, with two street side retail spaces was filed with the city on May 29, 2018. The project location would be at 1220 H street. Saw this on Twitter. There’s no story yet in the SBJ.

Here is a link to the application on the city's development tracker: https://sacramento.civicinsight.com/...0_H-ST_APP.pdf

Here is a link to the plans: https://sacramento.civicinsight.com/...H-ST_PLANS.pdf (Huge file alert!)

A one or two story mid-century modern office building would have to be demolished; and the site is in a fairly low-rise area. So we shall see if the preservationist crew will allow the property’s owner to build this proposal in THEIR city. You must always have their blessing.

The image looks like it's from H Street (Historic) Alley. I wonder if it's a proposal for the parking lot behind the current H Street buildings rather than to replace them.

... never mind
