16th & N Streets Mixed-Use Development
This new eight-story mixed use housing development in downtown Sacramento, just a block from the Capital Park, has 117 residential units and approximately 5,000 sf of ground floor retail. Client partners Em Johnson Interest and NCRF Holdings are working in conjunction with the Capital Area Development Authority to develop this site. The project will also include a minimum of 5,000sf of open space on a terrace that is oriented toward Capital Park, together with an adjacent 854sf private community room. The building design is aimed at blending the design of the state office buildings in the immediate area, with the traditional Art Deco character of the neighboring apartments, with the goal of creating a unique, “contemporary-classic”style for downtown, urban living. The commercial space is situated along the west frontage to emphasize the retail vitality of the 16th Street corridor. The space will be especially conducive to activities such as boutiques or specialty stores (e.g. books, music/videos, fitness) that are popular among office workers, while serving the needs of the neighborhood and attracting patrons seeking downtown-oriented shopping. It is a space that will undoubtedly complement the Unity Center Museum proposed for the opposite NE corner at this intersection by virtue of its stylish storefront and pedestrian-friendly character. The building will include 117 units, consistent with the height, density and massing limitations specified in the City's design criteria and reflected in the CADA RFP Development Criteria.. The units range from 660-975 sf for the 77 one-bedroom units, and 900-1,300 sf for the 40 two-bedroom units. The project contains predominantly market rate units, priced to be attractive as entry-level, workforce housing units that should be attainable by state employees and office workers in downtown Sacramento. Parking is efficiently solved with a split level internal garage and parking is provided on 1:1 for units and additional parking for retail visitors. The building architecture includes materials that promote a high quality, understated elegance, with the use of concrete panels, glass curtain wall, floor to ceiling glass panels at living spaces, and stone tile to anchor the base. The design includes Juliet balconies with an irregular pattern, and recesses in the façade that define the corners of the building. The building establishes a traditional base that is two levels in height, with the middle floors consisting of staggered panels of glass and concrete. The building top is accentuated with the combination of floors, including mezzanines on the 8th floor, creating a verticality to strengthen the building's appeal. |
