I am new here, this is a very interesting thread! Has anyone heard or have any information on the proposed 7 residential towers along the waterfront in West Sacramento?

621 Capitol Mall

Look's like it's going to be about a foot deep for the basement/foundation concete.

The Towers on Capitol Mall

Two pile drivers are now going to work on the site now. For the last two
weeks they have been working up to 11pm at night pounding away at the
piles but now it looks like that's not the case any more. I bet the nearby
restaurants raised a ruckus and now work stops at 5pm.

The Towers on Capitol Mall "AT NIGHT"

That's great. Thanks so much for the update. I'm in London right now so I feel out of the loop. Love the pictures!

Marriott at 15th & L Street
These were taken from the 22nd floor of the Esquire building.

Looks like they are serious about the "window problem" over at the Capitol Square

500 Capitol Mall Renderings

More Piles @ The Towers

obtuse_edge · October 17th, 2006, 08:18 AM

Yes, Im definitely voting for YES on Q and R.

I think its about time Sacramento gets moving on redeveloping its downtown. There is that new project that just got done on 800J, they haven't been filling it up yet though. But there are plenty of residentials moving into Sacramento, hopefully the night scene will start picking up.

There is so much potential with developing the areas around the River, that it's really a crime that so much time has past without any action. The Railyards offer the best opportunity for Sacramento to showcase a new development pattern for other cities which focus less on urban sprawl and more on creating and renewing the urban center to accomodate future growth.

WOW cool stuff but what is going on with all the pillars? I really don’t know that much about architecture so this is something new to me. It does make for cool photos though.

They are actully called piles... for the Towers project they
will be driving 2400 of them into the ground for the foundation.
Each pile is about eighty feet in length.

L street Lofts - We now have two cranes in the sky

621 Capitol Mall - Nov. 13th is when the tower crane will rise for the tower

500 Capitol Mall - Demo time in a few more weeks.

CalSTRS - This view is looking down J Street at the pile driver crane in
West Sacramento across the river from Sacramento on 8th Street.

The Towers

SSP is being VERY slow so I'll be checking here I guess for your updates

innov8 · November 16th, 2006, 06:51 PM

I got a sneak peak at the renderings for the I-5 decking.

These first two are awful... the park area is raised up and doe's not
invite people into the area from Crocker Park at all. These
must be the cheap $50 million version. WTF? put a
parking lot on top of the freeway... one hell of a way to use
newly create public space!!! :koko: That office area is about
as boring as they come :yuck:

I made these extra big so you can read the small print.

These ideas are kinda cool... I like concept C-1. The last
concept on the bottom is nice in how there is more park
space available.

innov8 · November 21st, 2006, 06:48 PM

The latest elevations and materials for the Capitol Grand.

SactoSpam · November 23rd, 2006, 04:13 AM

A descent design and a nice hight, but will it ever get built? Not likely...at least not in the next 5 years I would say.
