The 500 N Workout
Saturday, May 24, 2008
The fine folks at 500 N treated my real estate forum to a fantastic lunch catered by Il Fornaio last week on the 14th floor of the Downtown Sacramento condos at 500 N Street. Fantastic food, great views (from our vista we could watch work being done on Tsakopoulos' 500 Capitol Mall project, plus views of the Capitol, Tower Bridge, CalEPA building, Federal Courthouse, Renaissance Towere aka the "Darth Vader Building", 12th & K's "Ban Roll-on" building, and what will be a beautifully lighted US BankTower at 621 Capitol Mall), and... The elevators went out.
When we arrived, one elevator was being replaced but the other was working just fine. No problem getting up to the 14th Floor whatsoever. But 15 minutes later we got word that the other elevator was, well, being fickle—which is a nice way of saying we wouldn't be taking the elevator back down. We could've waited six weeks for replacement of the other elevator, and both rappelling and parachute-assisted basejumping were out since none of us had thought to bring gear.
Nothing left to do but take the stairs down 14 floors. The good news is that it was a beautiful day (the weather hadn't gotten windy and gray yet and the 100-plus heat had passed) and the stairs were on the outside of the west side of the building.
And thus the 500 N Workout was born.
Man, Annie at 500 N is gonna kill me if she reads this. (Sorry, Annie!)

Pricing is out for the Sutter Brownstones
Monday, March 24, 2008
It's taken me a couple days to post the real numbers to make sure the information was meant to be public, but I confirmed with Mollie at LoftWorks that pricing for the Sutter Brownstones will be from $369,000 to $590,000 for the three-story townhomes—which strikes me as a great price for new construction in a prime location like this one, especially compared to the more than $500/sq.ft. that several Downtown and Midtown loft projects are listed for.
The floorplans range from 1,119 square feet to 1,986 square feet, with the largest unit including a separate studio on the ground floor with its own kitchen, bath, and private entrance. The 1,707-square-foot floorplan includes a ground level media room, and all 28 units have private balconies or patios.For more information about the Sutter Brownstones or to purchase one of the 28 fabulous, East Coast brownstones-inspired townhomes, visit ForSaleinMidtown.com.

Green on F
Sunday, March 23, 2008
Nine on F: The Greenest Homes in Sacramento.
It was late summer 2007 when I first heard about a big "green" residential project that was being built downtown in the Alkali Flats neighborhood. I was a bit cautious at first because so many businesses had begun jumping on the "green" bandwagon and were touting any energy efficient, environmentally friendly features they could attach to their product or service.
In November I finally took some time to preview 9 on F Citywalk. What struck me when I walked through the traditional units that fronted F Street was two things: First, I didn't feel like I was walking through a "green" home. The countertops weren't made of recycled beer bottles and there wasn't anything touting blue jean insulation. Second, this was beautiful design—like something out of Dwell Magazine. Better than I'd seen in Sacramento on a smaller scale project like this one.
Sure, other projects lately have been touting their green features. Regis Homes, developer of the SoCap Lofts at the southern end of Downtown, had incorporated solar—but this seemed to me to be a bit of an afterthought.
9 on F developer Jeremy Drucker really started the project with a green end in mind, which is why the nine three-story units are all have LEED for Homes certifications and are rated LEED Silver or Gold—a notable achievement for a Sacramento project being completed in what anyone would say is a challenging real estate market. Drucker, a bay area resident, has gone a step further than most developers and has reached out to the community. I know his goal is to sell a product, but he's managed to build a tremendous amount of media attention and awareness for what I hope will continue to be a mainstream move to green by promoting the Environmental Council of Sacramento (ECOS), SMUD's SolarSmart program, and even connecting with the City of Sacramento at a time when Mayor Heather Fargo and other key officials have been pushing to make Sacramento the greenest city in the nation.
I appreciate Jeremy Drucker's efforts. I also appreciate the great design his project has brought to Alkali Flats and the entire Downtown area. The homes at 9 on F join beautiful design, infill development, and earth-friendly features, which include: dual-zone geothermal heating and cooling, solar, tankless hot water heaters (no "tankless job" puns, I promise), environmentally friendly wood products, FSC-certified responsibly managed wood flooring, and low-VOC (volatile organic compounds) interior paints.
For more information about 9 on F or to purchase one of the nine beautiful, traditionally-inspired or urban loft-styled units, visit ForSaleinDowntown.com.
