REHABILITATION AND NEW CONSTRUCTION:
This project consists of historic adaptive re-use of the 1894 Enos Grocery Store and the construction of new infill rowhouse type units adjacent to the 16th Street Light Rail Station. What began as a corner grocery store has become a locally owned coffeehouse that features the original turned columns and beams of the structure. Return of this building to service has helped to enliven and add security to this public place. The Q Street Lofts was one of the first new loft buildings to be completed in Sacramento and was designed to complement the historic neighborhood while also evoking a modern aesthetic. The project has affordability requirements set by the Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency that assisted in the financing of the project.
