Eco friendly Downtown Sacramento home For the eco friendly home buyer that is energy conscientious both in an eco friendly home or condo as well as within walking, biking, and desiring city transportation I have just the answer for you.

Bet you thought I was writing about something on St. Patricks Day a bit early!

Downtown Sacramento is definitely building right. Yes, there is solar power. But theres more geo thermo heat and cooling where the earths ground water system heats and cools the house. Non toxic products and eco friendly resources have been used as materials in these homes.

Where is all this splendor you ask? Can you believe its just 6 blocks from our Sacramento Capital, Downtown.

Its true that there are beautiful historic homes surrounding this new project however, the architect, Bob Chase has brought eco friendly together with historic architecture and melded them beautifully.

Contemporary lofts, Craftsman bungalows, cozy cottages, Victorian homes are all splattered together with the feel of Midtown living in Downtown Sacramento

There are 9 contemporary eco friendly homes for sale with 3 bedrooms, 3 baths ranging from 1300 square feet to 1500 square feet with a price tag ranging from $490K to $550K. This is not for the weak of heart. This is for the serious home buyer that wants an eco friendly home within walking distance of Downtown Sacramento, the Capital, restaurants, cafes, art, museums, culture and more.

This weekend everyone was bustling around with excitement over such responsible building for the discerning Sacramento home buyer who wants to live Downtown. Its not cheap but typically nothing with real value is.

Do you think its time to build more eco friendly? Would you be willing to pay for materials that are better for our environment and for you?

Spotlight on Sacramento

October 2nd, 2007 categories: Downtown, Real Estate, Sacramento

Railyards Sacramento saw spotlights beaming on the dilapidated Railyard off highway 5 last night near Downtown Sacramento. There is a reason for those bright lights…draw attention!

Why is the developer, Thomas Enterprises drawing attention to this eye-sore?

Have Sacramentans take notice of this area and make it a vital community where 240 acres can be transformed into over 10,000 residences, entertainment and businesses, a village of sorts.

Sacramento City Council will be voting whether this land will be developed so except the lights to continue illuminating through November 20th when the City Council will vote on this legacy project.

Downtown Sacramento Real Estate

July 5th, 2007 categories: Condo, Downtown, Real Estate, Sacramento

Sacramento lost The Towers that would have changed our skyline and given us the tallest building on the West Coast.

Having such a spectacular Real Estate venue would have had quite an impact on our Real Estate and notoriety. Real Estate in Sacramento, CA, in my opinion would have opened itself up to some great potential and opportunities which would have helped seal new business deals.

John Saca and Cal PERS were partners in The Towers. Due to the decline in Real Estate, the increasing cost associated with building and possibly some poor choices on Sacas part, The Towers project failed.

Cal PERS cut off funds to the project, bought out John Saca and will be working with a Southern CA developer, CIM Group on a much smaller scale for the hole in the ground at Capital Mall.

This was quite a blow not only for Sacramento but to Saca, himself. Just like Trump who went bankrupt, Saca is back in business once again. He is not willing to tuck his head down and walk away from Sacramento.

John Saca has pulled himself up by the boot straps and is attempting to bring Sacramento yet another project as witnessed when listening to him on KCRA Channel 3. John Saca purchased 10th and J Street and owns it free and clear, needs no partners and plans on building a 40 story project of condos with the possibility of a hotel.

This project is called Metropolitan and will cost $200 million versus The Towers cost of $600 million. Although the Metropolitan will not be the tallest on the West Coast, it will be the tallest in Downtown Sacramento if approved by the City Council and Planning Commission.

You have to give John Saca credit. He is a visionary and he sees the potential for Downtown Sacramento. Without visionaries, where would we be? Lets give the guy a chance. He sold more condos in the now defunct Towers than this new project even offers.

Thank you, John Saca for giving this another try and I hope you make it this time! All this in due time if approved by the City Council and the time line for building, Saca might just have something here Real Estate will have made its comeback and he should be flying high.

Now, for the City of Sacramento how about a little vision on your part? Lets try to get some businesses here that can support this type of urban living. Relying on government jobs is not what will make Sacramento. Its time to bring in the Big Guys with the Big Guns. I realize that sometimes its the chicken before the egg but we really do need to have Big Business if Sacramento is to flourish.

Businesses should be looking at the affordability of re-establishing themselves here in the Sacramento, CA area. Real Estate in Sacramento is certainly much cheaper than San Francisco and the Bay Area. This is the time, to launch a Real Estate and Business partnership here in the Sacramento, CA Downtown area.

I see a great future for Sacramento Real Estate.
