Executive Summary
The Property comprises approximately 8.16 acres (±355,450 land square feet) and is zoned MU-NC (Mixed Use Neighborhood Commercial). MU-NC is expressly intended to support pedestrian-oriented neighborhood mixed use—featuring townhomes, condominiums, and apartments complemented by neighborhood-serving retail/office and open space. For developers seeking scale, MU-NC allows standalone residential density up to 60 dwelling units per acre, supporting an assumed maximum yield of approximately 490 units on the subject site (subject to project design and City review).
Beyond unit count, MU-NC supports an urban form that can deliver a true neighborhood destination. The zoning standards allow meaningful intensity through maximum building height of 65 feet and maximum FAR of 1.5 (with FAR-based flexibility when residential is integrated into mixed-use configurations). The result is a regulatory framework aligned with contemporary multifamily product types—podium or wrap formats, stacked flats, and townhome/live-work edges that can activate frontage and create a cohesive streetscape.
Offered at $8,888,888 (approximately $25.00 per land square foot), 851 Sacramento Avenue delivers compelling basis metrics for a central-city infill site with scale. At the assumed 490-unit capacity, the land basis equates to roughly $18,100 per entitled unit—an attractive entry point for developers and capital partners pursuing high-density housing with a thoughtful amenity and open-space program.

Description
Development Potential MU-NC supports a “complete neighborhood” approach—housing anchored by daily-needs services and inviting outdoor space rather than a single-use, auto-oriented project. The site is well suited for an urban multifamily community that blends efficient unit layouts with a strong amenity stack (clubroom, fitness, co-working, pool/courtyard programming, rooftop decks, and paseo-style open space). A mixed-use concept can further enhance value by introducing live/work units and small-format neighborhood retail at strategic frontage—supporting resident convenience while strengthening the project’s identity and leasing story. HUD QCT Tract HUD designates Qualified Census Tracts (QCTs) each year based on federal income/poverty thresholds used in the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program. Projects located in a QCT may qualify for an increase in LIHTC eligible basis up to 130% (a 30% basis boost), potentially generating additional tax credit equity and strengthening overall development economics. QCT/DDAs are updated annually (the 2026 designations are effective January 1, 2026). Market Tailwinds and Connectivity West Sacramento continues to build on a record of public/private investment aimed at creating walkable urban districts and strengthening connections to the region’s core. The City’s Bridge District planning framework describes an ongoing transition from an industrial past to a waterfront-oriented, urban mixed-use district—evidence of sustained momentum for higher-density housing and placemaking. Regional mobility is also advancing: SacRT is progressing the Downtown Riverfront Streetcar Project, a 1.8-mile connection between West Sacramento and Downtown Sacramento designed to improve regional accessibility and connectivity to key destinations.
