West Sac Mega Lot Back On The Market, 455-Unit Vision In Limbo

An 8.16-acre parcel at 851 Sacramento Ave in West Sacramento that was once floated for a 455-unit apartment project is back on the market. The 8-plus-acre site is being offered without entitlements and is going through a formal sale process, with proposals due April 24.

West Sacramento has been stacking up sizable infill projects in recent years, from the city-led Grand Gateway master plan to a run of smaller affordable housing groundbreakings, a pattern that signals strong appetite for large multifamily sites. The City of West Sacramento’s development opportunities materials note that Grand Gateway alone is envisioned to bring more than 450 residential units along with retail and public space, underscoring why a big lot in Broderick could draw serious attention from developers. That context helps explain the broad marketing push now underway for 851 Sacramento Ave.

Because the site is being marketed without entitlements, any buyer would have to secure city approvals and plan out infrastructure and environmental work before any shovels hit the ground.

Scott Kingston, Ken Turton, and Kaylyn Ibarra from Turton Commercial Real Estate are the brokers working on the listing.
