19J Mixed Use
Sacramento, CA
Considered sustainable urban living designed specifically for millennials, 19J is a first of its kind infill project in the Sacramento region conceived to provide high quality workforce housing that is affordable by design. Utilizing an innovative load-bearing light-gauge framing system not been previously used in Sacramento allowed the team to build a significantly taller structure than is possible with wood framing, and do so at lower cost than traditional concrete or steel framed systems. Concrete shear walls were integrated with the light-gauge framing to create an efficient layout creating 173 residential units, 7,000 square feet of retail and parking on a tight urban site. To maximize on-site parking, a three level mechanical stacking system is incorporated at the second level.
