Plans to build a 5,000 seat event venue at Sacramento Railyards are underway.
Downtown Railyard Venture LLC filed planning documents late last month to convert some of the vacant warehouse buildings just north of the Amtrak station into a five-acre plaza called "Central Shops at the Railyards." The historic paint shop would be transformed into a mixed-use public entertainment venue. Despite the ongoing pandemic, the building boom in Sacramento hasn't halted due to housing demand and other developments to convert vacant portions of the city's downtown area.
