PROJECT SPECS
T
he Railyards and its shops were once the largest industrial site west of the
Mississippi and a center of innovation in the Railroad industry. It is with this
history in innovation that The Railyards draws its vision for the project as a
future center for innovation for the Sacramento region.
A much-anticipated project from LDK Ventures, The Railyards will include mixed-use,
mixed-income neighborhoods, an 18-acre Kaiser Permanente medical complex, and
creative office environments to attract large employers to the region. The walkable,
bikeable community will also offer a mix of retail and entertainment uses at the
refurbished Central Shops, where visitors and residents alike can experience shopping and
entertainment, arts and cultural experiences, artisanal restaurants and waterfront parks.
The first office project in The Railyards is expected to start construction in Fall 2020.
The project will consist of two six story buildings that total 310,000 square feet of office
and some ground floor retail. The buildings will be constructed with a heavy timber
frame with a modern minimalist industrial exterior. The buildings will surround
a generous urban plaza and landscaped paseo that will form the central outdoor
gathering space for the project and its future workforce.
