Large mixed-used building proposed for Stockton and T in Sacramento - Sacramento Business Journal

Quote:
Large mixed-used building proposed for Stockton and T

An empty office building and its parking on Stockton Boulevard would become a five-story mixed-use building and 21 single-family homes, under an application filed with the city of Sacramento.

The 240,000-square-foot story building would be on the northeast corner of Stockton and T Street, near Highway 50. According to the application, the building at 3675 T St. would have 214 residential units and 6,000 square feet of first-floor retail. Units in the building, twice the size of the existing office building on the site, would be studios or have one or two bedrooms.

A 78,000-square-foot parking garage with 230 parking spaces would serve residents in the mixed-use building, with a clubhouse, fitness center, cabana and storage in an 8,000-square-foot space on the garage roof. As well, the roof would have a sky terrace with a swimming pool/spa, outdoor kitchen, theater and living space, and views of downtown Sacramento.
Sounds like a very nice infill project for the Stockton Blvd corridor. Hopefully more infill will happen along that corridor near UCD Med center.

It's a mile and a half out from the eastern border of the central city, why are single-family homes such an issue? They're on the side of the project closest to the existing Elmhurst neighborhood, a very expensive neighborhood of predominantly single family homes, and represent about 10% of the project. Do other cities ban single-family home construction?

Another useless post from a non-resident Sacramento-obsessed poster, lol.

Only 10% of it is single family homes, the side that would connect with other existing single family homes in a very desirable walkable neighborhood within a few blocks of a light rail station.

Giving the people what they want--how heretical.

Seriously, if there was enough demand for a Sears Tower downtown, where people could shop on the ground and lower floors, work in the middle floors and live in penthouse condos "on the 99th floor of their block" and shout "Hey! You! Get Off of my cloud!" I would be all for it.

But there isn't.

I lived in Sac, but have been lucky to relocate to Santa Cruz. Growing up in coastal So Cal, Santa Cruz is what I prefer.

That being said, the city is not going to promote transit oriented neighborhoods by slapping up more single family homes within a few blocks of a light rail station. Go a few blocks from the Dublin Bart Station. Nothing but condos, apartments, and townhouse development.

Well I grew up in San Diego but have been lucky enough to relocate to Sacramento, which I and a lot of people prefer to coastal Cal.

This in-fill project is only 10% single family homes. Not sure how Dublin Bart does anything for you in Santa Cruz which is completely cut-off from the rest of the Bay Area unless you take a bus through notoriously dangerous Highway 17.

There's no reason why a neighborhood can't be transit-oriented and still have single-family homes. Midtown works that way already, mostly apartments intermixed with close-spaced SFH, and the detached homes in this project will almost certainly be small-lot houses like those already in the neighborhood (which was a streetcar suburb to begin with), not big quarter-acre lots. And unlike small-lot homes in Natomas, light rail is just a couple blocks away, plus a high-frequency bus line on Stockton Boulevard, so it has the "transit" for TOD.

If I see it, and I'm in the mood, I'll call it out.

LOL, "honest actor" - an oxymoron, aren't all actors just pretending, oh right, actors that "just pretend" don't get oscars, speaking of which, you must see the movie "Birdman" if you want to see "honest actors".
