The long-awaited renovation of the former Resources Building is complete. The 17-story tower at 1416 Ninth Street in downtown Sacramento has been rebuilt from its steel frame and converted into a modern facility for state agencies. The roughly $490 million project transforms the midcentury office building into high-performance workspaces and new public-facing areas.
According to The Business Journals, the renovation was completed about two and a half months ahead of schedule, with a final cost near $490 million. The project is described as one of the most extensive rehabilitation efforts downtown Sacramento has seen in recent years, as reported by Ben van der Meer for the Sacramento Business Journal.
Top-to-bottom structural overhaul
Turner Construction, the project lead for the State of California, reports that the 1964 tower was stripped to its steel frame, received seismic upgrades, and was fitted with a new high-performance curtainwall spanning roughly 657,000 square feet. Major mechanical systems were replaced, and the building now includes training rooms, a fitness center, and bicycle storage, along with a redesigned podium and lobby to enhance the street-level experience. Project leaders attribute the on-time, on-budget completion to a progressive design-build approach. More details are available from Turner Construction.
