The Downtown/Midtown core has also seen significant multi-family growth with the delivery of The Mansion, 17 Central, and Lavender Courtyard which added 350 units of inventory. The diversity of housing options in the Sacramento area creates an attractive and promising market that will continue to see demand across all housing types.
