Sacramento Development: Going Green at 18th and Capital
Sacramento Development News: Going Green at 18th and Capital…
The buzz lately in Sacramento has definitely been of the GREEN variety… and now Julie Young, a former project manager who has worked most recently for Mike Heller, (who developed the new MARRS building and the East End Lofts) has quit managing projects for other developers and has teamed up with midtown architect Ron Vrilakas. (He oversaw the rehab of the 1920′s building that Zocalo’s now inhabits at 18th and Capital)
Together, they plan to build the first mixed-use LEED certified structure in the City next to Dragonfly’s restaurant on 18th and Capital in midtown Sacramento…
Here are the plans for project:
1. The mixed-used project will be located at the empty lot next to Dragonfly’s on 18th and Capital.
2. It will be a three-story building with four lofts that sit over street-level retail
3. The ground floor will be retail – possibly a restaurant, boutique and/or upscale market
4. A large courtyard will be constructed in front, setting the project back from the street to make room for the ‘green space’.
5. Each upper floor unit will have its own outdoor green space (love this!) including two 700 square foot roof gardens and possibly a pool on the second floor!
Young is planning on providing two fuel-efficient Smart Cars from Neillo to make available to tenants! The cars will be parked in the back alley to eliminate midtown parking hassles.
No decision yet as to if these lofts will be for sale or for lease, but since Young and her development partner will be taking one unit each, there will only be two available… To read more about this exciting development, pick up the SacTown Magazine February 2008 Issue.
