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 .
