<\/a>SACRAMENTO, Calif. \u2014<\/p>\nMajor progress has been made in the Sacramento Railyards in recent months, with three high-profile developments now visibly under construction: Kaiser Permanente\u2019s future hospital and parking structure, Sacramento Republic FC\u2019s stadium and the Paint Shop concert venue. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe have people living in the Railyards now, and pretty soon we\u2019re going to have more living in the Railyards as they seek out those amenities that make everyday life just really enriching,\u201d Josh Leachman of Downtown Railyard Ventures said.<\/p>\n
The Railyards, once the historic center of Sacramento\u2019s railroad industry, is now becoming one of the region\u2019s largest redevelopment efforts.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is going to dramatically increase the footprint of the downtown core,\u201d Sacramento Mayor Kevin McCarty said. \u201cIt\u2019s going to be a big win for our economy, but also, you know, a go-to place for people to hang out.\u201d<\/p>\n
Among the most visible projects is Kaiser Permanente\u2019s new medical center, which is scheduled to open in 2029.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou see the garage very prominently. It\u2019ll be 1,500 stalls when we get finished,\u201d Jay Robinson, a spokesperson for Kaiser, said. \u201cAnd then you see the steel for the hospital tower, and that\u2019ll be 310 beds, eight stories.\u201d<\/p>\n
A historic 19th-century brick building is also being converted into a new concert venue called the Paint Shop.<\/p>\n
\u201cEverything that you see here, this plaza and the building on the left there is under construction,\u201d Leachman said. \u201cThat work will be done by the end of 2027. We\u2019re going to have new concerts going in early \u201928.\u201d<\/p>\n
Leachman said the broader goal is to create a dense, active district that supports housing, entertainment and everyday life.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re laying in the critical amenities for a just a really vibrant 24 seven type of community,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Sacramento Republic FC said its stadium project is also advancing, with major infrastructure work already underway, including utility connections, streets and road improvements.<\/p>\n
