P Street Modern Office Building Project

Summary:

This project will construct a new, modern office building at 7th/8th and O/P streets in Sacramento. The new building will be approximately 20 stories and approximately 838,000 total gross square feet, and will include office, assembly, storage, building support, parking, retail, and commercial food service space. The building will have an expected building capacity of 3,450 employees and will house staff from the California Natural Resources Agency, the Department of Water Resources, the Department of Parks and Recreation, the Department of Fish and Wildlife, the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, the Department of Conservation, the California Conservation Corps, and the Wildlife Conservation Board.   

DGS will make some exterior improvements to the historic Heilbron house, which will remain on site. The project also includes construction of a childcare facility that can accommodate 120 children. This will be the largest childcare facility constructed by the state, and was enabled by Senator Pan’s bill, SB 401 (Child Care Facilities: State Employees, Chapter 235, Statutes of 2017).
