Retro Lodge Adaptive Reuse Project In Downtown Sacramento Going Back To Being A Hotel

More than a decade after being converted to office and retail space, Offices at Retro Lodge in Downtown Sacramento is going retro.

New owners have filed plans with the city to turn the property at 11th and H streets, originally built as a hotel in the 1950s, back into that use.

“While the building was converted to office space more than a decade ago, the original ‘bones’ and structure of the hotel are still intact making it an efficient conversion,” said Josh Divelbiss, a Sacramento architect listed as the project applicant, in an email. “We’re also seeing a trend of older hotels being converted into housing and a reduced need for office space post-pandemic.”
