Sacramento commercial real estate investors who own property near the proposed site of the Downtown Arena are now one step closer to potentially significant increases in value. The Sacramento City Council voted 7-2 in favor of approving the arena financing proposal, which creates the opportunity for investors to form a competing bid to acquire the Sacramento Kings. News 10 caught up with Sacramento commercial real estate broker Brian Jacks to find out what this could mean for commercial properties within the immediate vicinity of the proposed arena.

SACRAMENTO, CA – With Sacramento city leaders moving forward to potentially build a new downtown arena at the site of the Downtown Plaza, developers are working to build around the area.

Developers with D&S and CFY Development said they have been working for several years to revitalize the 700 block of K Street and are in the financing stage to purchase land from the city to transform the area.

A planned project proposes 137 apartments and 13 to 15 restaurant, retail and nightlife concepts including a 700+ person live music venue that will include rooftop area.

“Vibrancy, resurgence, all those words come to mind for sure,” East West Commercial Real Estate expert Brian Jacks said.

Jacks said the arena negotiations at the downtown plaza have created a buzz like no other for investors along K Street.

“Definitely, the last few months the rhetoric has ratcheted up. Investors are saying ‘I think I need to make a play here’,” Jacks said.

Jacks said the worth of the buildings is difficult to gauge because most of them are vacant, but an arena could double the value of the properties. He said despite the arena talks it still could be a gamble for investors.

“No one can guarantee that they will buy a property here and hit a home run,” Jacks said.
