I like the design but wish the crown would cover the entire roof. It’s like the buildings facing Capital Mall turns it’s back on the G1C/DOCO.

But i wont complain if it gets built. If....

It’s a modest design and I understand what they want to accomplish but its just going to be a place for the homeless to pitch tents.

Also, this appears to have a lit crown. Perhaps it's just a poor rendering

Kolokotronis is the head of the project now because Saca could not secure funding. They are supposed to come out with new project renderings by year’s end hopefully but it is VERY likely that the 40 story project proposed by Saca originally and is the image you provided is dead; Kolokotronis is doing a 250 apartment and 200 key hotel (could be the other way around) project with Saca as the replacement project. Odds are it’ll be around the same height as Mohanna’s proposed 10K project, which is a similar project in the works for next year.

Not in its present configuration. It will likely need to be more in scale with what they can safely obtain financing for (which is not the current proposal).

So we are talking like 10-12 stories high?

I really like it too and man if this one goes plus the 33 floor one near the river plus the others that are already going skyward, Sacramento's going to have an awesome skyline!

Personally I expect 15-20 stories but it all depends on the hotel chosen for the site and the makeup of the apartment sizes (condos, studios, one bedroom, etc).

I like the glass movement in Sacramento now that Tower301 has a decent chance of getting built and P & O Streets are going up there will be a lot of great glass buildings in the city.

Hey just noticing a tall thin spire like tower to the right Vanir tower-northeast of downtown just west of the Diamond Walnut packing plant. Man it looks gorgeous and would enhance the skyline.

If this is the “new” proposal it really doesn’t look much different from the first except for the tenant mix of hotel, condo and office.

Anybody know how the Sawyer has done with condo sales?

This is the old rendering. And my point is I think it looked great. Although some here didn’t agree

I like the new design as well! Certainly beats the previous design!! I really do hope this tower gets built, would be an amazing addition to Sacramento's skyline. In addition to the new Resources Tower, and the proposed Vanir Tower and new county courthouse, these are going to be great additions to the skyline.

If I'm not mistaken, that's the already existing KCRA broadcasting antenna. That's right where the station is located.

^ Oh ok thanks SacTownAndy.

Today I saw gates around capitol towers on the 5th street side. Are they finally going to start phase 1

Sounds intriguing but it seems unusual that there was no media coverage on this; surely one of the local media would have reported this and the eviction of the residents in the old buildings.

That's what I would have thought. Now thinking back when I walk through that part of the villas it did seem like they were empty. Nothing on the patios at all.
Also I remember reading that permits were pulled for that site sometime in the early summer.
I could be totally wrong but I got excited seeing the fences. I will check about the building permits tomorrow

Permits were pulled? I thought they said that they are starting construction now, without permits they can't build yeah?
