A New District Is Taking Shape in Sacramento

Retail, entertainment, and hospitality opportunities at the center of Sacramento’s most ambitious urban redevelopment.

The Railyards is a transformational 240+ acre mixed-use district located immediately adjacent to Downtown Sacramento. Once the city’s historic rail yard, the site is being reimagined into a dense, walkable urban destination featuring retail, entertainment, residential, office, hospitality, medical, and public open space.

At full buildout, The Railyards will include 220,000+ SF of retail and entertainment, up to 10,000 residential units, 300,000 SF of office, 1,200 hotel rooms, and more than 30 acres of parks and public gathering space. The district is anchored by a professional soccer stadium, a major live music venue, and a future Kaiser Permanente medical campus.

Phase One introduces the first retail opportunities, positioned to capture early foot traffic while establishing long-term presence as the district continues to grow.

Entertainment District Anchor & Plaza Retail

The Paint Shop is a 60,220 ± SF historic rail structure being redeveloped as the cultural and entertainment heart of The Railyards. The building is anchored by a 47,700 ± SF, 3,600-seat live music and events venue, fully leased to a national promoter and scheduled to open in 2028.
