Fremont Mews

The Fremont Mews was developed in 2004 on one of the last largest undeveloped housing sites in the Central City. It was also on one of the most desirable residential sites in the Central City being on 15th Street and fronting on Fremont Park. It is a great example of Transit Oriented Development (TOD)/Smart Growth as a result of being developed on an infill site and having two light rail stations and ten bus stops within two blocks.

A Garden Preservation and Replacement Plan was incorporated into the development of the Fremont Mews because of the importance of community gardening for many Central City residents. The Fremont Mews permanently retained 19,200 square foot of the land that had formerly been used on an interim basis for gardening. The garden includes standard garden plots, bocce courts for recreation use, accessible plots, children plots, fruit orchards and public art selected from a competition of local artists. In addition, a 32,424 square foot site at 5th and W Streets that was a blighted vacant lot was permanently preserved for gardening in the Southside Park Neighborhood. Both gardens were donated by the State to the City and are being permanently operated under the City Parks and Recreation Department.

17th & N

Located on the southwest corner of 17th and N Streets, this project was completed in February 2001.  It consists of an eight one-bedrooms, which was originally located at 1311 15th Street, and a new building, which includes seven one bedroom units and three one bedroom/loft units.

Each building contains two stories over seven individual parking garages and is connected by a new “bridge” at the second and third floors. The exterior of the new building is stucco with a heavy composition shingle roof, similar in design to the existing relocated building. The existing relocated building fronts on N Street with a secondary entrance on the south side and a walk to both the parking garages and 17th Street. The new structure fronts the alley with a secondary entrance on the north connecting the same walk. The ground floor of the relocated building provides a central laundry and individual tenant storage. Each building has seven individual garages that have access via a driveway from the alley. A central trash room is on the ground floor adjacent to the alley.

The primary goal of this development was to move the existing historically sensitive eight unit apartment building originally located at 1311 15th Street in order to vacate that site for the State’s East End Office Project. The design of the new structure is purposely “nondescript” in an effort not to compete with or detract from the existing relocated building. The stucco exterior complements the existing building as well as offers a 5:12 pitched roof in order to offer lofts on the third floor units.

17th Street Commons

This rehabilitation was completed by July 2001 and is located on the west side of 17th Street between O and P Streets. It was originally developed in 1983 as a limited equity cooperative with 25 residential units and commercial space housed in a 1914 historic structure. In late 1999, CADA acquired the improvements and now manages the development as apartments. Upon acquisition, CADA refurbished the development and converted the commercial space into four additional residential units.

CADA acquired 17th Street Commons from the Seventeenth Street Commons Cooperative (SSC) in December 1999 as a result of SSC no longer being able to own and manage the complex. CADA rehabilitated the complex and converted an existing historic structure from office to residential use. The proposed scope of work also involved replacement of glue laminated beams in the parking garage and replacement of decking.

This site features a tree-lined walkway crossing through the development connecting all the units. There is a mix of pitched steep and low slope roofs with stucco and wood shingle siding. Ground level patios at the townhouse units have brick and wooden decks and all the buildings now have aluminum-framed, double-glazed, sliding windows. Many of the units offer French doors as well as fireplaces.

The complex includes 29 apartment of which 12 are a part of CADA’s affordable program. The remaining 17 units are at market rents.

Unit Count: 25 existing units: 4 – 1 BR/BA (606 S.F.)

Fremont-Wilshire Apartments

Location: 1424 P Street, Sacramento

In the difficult lending environment of 2009, CADA secured financing from Farmers and Merchants bank, a local community bank, for the purchase and much-needed rehabilitation of the Fremont-Wilshire Apartments at 15th and P Streets. A program was established at this property whereby studio units are being made affordable to single persons earning between 50% and 80% of the area-wide median income whose needs have grown due to the combined effect of the recession and the increase in Central City living expenses.
