SACRAMENTO RAILYARDS project
Project Overview
Once serving as the western terminus of the 1860s Transcontinental Railroad, today the Railyards is one of the nation’s largest infill redevelopment projects. Located just north of Downtown and South of the River District, the historic 244-acre former Union Pacific site will integrate the area into the existing Central City. The Railyards project will connect with Sacramento’s downtown office, retail, tourism, residential, and government centers to essentially double the size of Downtown Sacramento. The Railyards project is entitled for dense urban residential neighborhoods, a historic museum, a shopping and market district, a regional intermodal transit station, a county courthouse, a medical campus, a soccer stadium, pedestrian-oriented streets, shopping and entertainment complexes, riverfront access, and high-rise mixed-use buildings.

- 6,000-10,000 dwelling units

- 2,757,027 - 3,857,027 square feet of office use
