Thanks, I missed that.

It’s the Broadway self storage facility that was proposed a while back. The SKK mixed use was only proposed in March, so it wouldn’t be to the point of vertical construction yet. However, SKK is grading for that project, so it should be going up in the coming months... as long as the market holds.

*Note: Both projects will be on the same parcel: The storage facility being on the northern portion and the mixed use being on the southern portion.

According to the Biz Journal, Bay Miry will be leaving D&S and starting up his own firm. Any thoughts on how/if this will impact developments/projects in the central city?

I think that the separation of Bay from his father is great. I know he and his father were a great team, but from the looks of the article it appears that Miry and his wife Kate Bardis of Bardis Homes will be working together. So in conclusion it appears that now there are going to be 3 big development companies that have Miry ties: D&S, Miry Development, and Bardis. That will mean more projects and more ties to help secure funding and strength of the developments.

Did you guys see some of the conceptual renderings for the new I Street bridge released yesterday?

Yes, I like the arch design the best. Really hoping they go with that one!

Obviously all those designs for the bridge are preliminary and I’m not sure I like any of them. Waiting for the more realistic and refined designs. I’m wondering if the old I Street Bridge is going remain? I hope so.

northbay · #**7049** Posted **Nov 3, 2018, 3:43 AM**

I think I read somewhere they are going to keep the current bridge for rail only.

^^^ I assume that's Sotiris Kolokotronis housing project- 59-unit apartment building at Broadway and 3rd St.

OK thanks. I know originally they were going to build a new railroad bridge north of the I Street Bridge and turn the existing I street into an auto (upper) and pedestrian (lower) bridge and build a new wider auto bridge across the Sacramento River at Richards Blvd. I guess those plans have been scraped.

All of the design concepts are bad. BUT if they had to pick, the arch is what I envision.

BREAKING NEWS:

According to CBS 13 the new Sacramento Zoo will go in Natomas in the Sleep Train Arena site!!! The renderings and site map can be found on their Twitter!!! They also have an article on the new zoo found below.

https://sacramento.cbslocal.com/2018...-move-natomas/

I think that this is a fantastic choice for the new zoo and will invigorate the Natomas area and add something to do other than shop. The video and article states that the zoo size will expand from 14 acres to 180 ACRES, 13 times bigger than the current zoo. The attendance in a year could reach 1 million visitors according to the video.

The Director Jason Jacobs says that the Zoo is halfway between the Airport and Downtown and can help jumpstart the Green Line that has been proposed for decades. The site will also contain a hotel, nature walks, and larger animals like hippos, lions, elephants, etc.

What do you guys think?

According to a pretty good source, the project going up on Broadway is NOT the SKK residential building; it’s the self storage facility that was proposed a few years back. The self storage building should be on the northern half of the parcel, and the SKK residential building is planned for the southern half of the same parcel. The SKK project was only proposed in March, so I don’t think it would be that far along at this point. Additionally, I don’t think the apartment building would be steel-framed. (Usually, 4-8 story housing projects are wood framed with a concrete podium.)

Also, according to the source, they are doing site work (grading) for the SSK mixed use. So that’s some good news - they’re at least moving forward with the project.

Great idea and place for a world class zoo.

I wish they did use steel frames in 4 story apartment buildings.

rail will remain on the lower portion of the existing bridge. There's been talk of keeping the upper deck as pedestrian only (the city has referenced something like the highline in NYC). The auto on and off ramps approaching the bridge will be torn down, opening that land for development.
