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 previously used in Sacramento, allowed the team to build a significantly taller structure than is possible with wood framing, and to do so at a lower cost than traditional concrete or steel-framed systems. Concrete shear walls were integrated with the light-gauge framing to create an efficient layout consisting of 173 residential units, 7,000 SF 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.
