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.
According to the Sacramento Business Journal, the listing went live today, with Turton Commercial named as the listing brokerage. The Business Journal reports the seller is taking offers through the April 24 deadline and notes that earlier concepts for the site called for about 455 apartments. The current marketing package instead pitches the property as an unentitled development opportunity.
Listing and public-record data on LoopNet show the parcel covers roughly 8.16 acres (APN 010-320-038-000) and carries C-2 zoning in West Sacramento. The listing highlights more than 1,500 feet of frontage along Sacramento Avenue and about 300 feet on Jefferson Boulevard, putting the site within walking distance of the Bridge District and Raley Field. Those details are echoed on real estate aggregators such as Compass.
How This Fits Into West Sac's Boom
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.
What A Buyer Would Face
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. As the Sacramento Business Journal reported, the seller is offering the land as a blank-slate development parcel and is inviting proposals through the April 24 deadline.
Investors or development teams can review the listing materials through the broker and public listing services. The parcel's size, frontage and location make it one of the larger infill options still on the board in West Sacramento. The sale process will determine whether the next owner dusts off the previously discussed 455-unit concept or heads in a different direction that still fits the city's zoning rules and the current market.
