J . will offer 345 units consisting of studio , one-bedroom and two-bedroom residences that have been thoughtfully designed to fit an urban lifestyle .

Named for A . J . Stevens , who was deemed the father of innovation at the Sacramento Railyards in the late 1800s , The A . J .’ s fresh design pays homage to its industrial roots while assertively embracing modern design cues . The residences include wellappointed finishes and built-in cabinetry and offer plenty of natural light .
“ The A . J . will offer unmatched amenities in Sacramento ’ s downtown core ,” says Denton Kelley , managing principal of Downtown Railyard Venture , master developer of the Railyards . “ It fulfills the need for modern , mixed-income housing and is truly a cornerstone of our vision for the Railyards .”
The building ’ s amenities will include a co-working area , fitness center , pool and spa , dog wash , and a rooftop sky lounge with outdoor grills and fire tables .
“ The A . J . shows what is possible and how working together we can help meet the housing needs of residents at a range of income levels ,” says Geoff Brown , president of USA Properties Fund . The Roseville-based company is a partner on The A . J . “ We ’ re proud to be part of such a forward-looking project , the first of many that will transform the historic Railyards into a vibrant district .”
With an eye on stewardship , the residences will achieve Build It Green Gold Standard for energy efficiency . Situated on 2.89 acres on the southeast corner of Sixth Street and Railyards Boulevard , The A . J . will offer immediate access to light rail , bus and the Sacramento River , as well as an abundance of parking and over 5,000 square feet of ground-floor retail with a mix of tenants .
