1715 R Street & 1600-1610 R Street & 1725 R Street, Sacramento, CA 95816

The Ice Blocks is a three block mixed-use redevelopment project located in the historic R Street Corridor that features 70,000 square feet of retail, which is Midtown’s largest collection of retail boutiques and restaurants, as well as 145 fully leased luxury apartments and 120,000 square feet of creative office space. Sacramento’s enterprising spirit and creative culture has been exemplified in Ice’s contemporary architecture, public art pieces and thoughtful community gathering space. Ice Blocks’ eclectic mix of shops, restaurants, offices and apartments have rejuvenated this now thriving industrial district.

R Street, the home to the Ice Blocks, is an avenue of old industrial warehouses that have been transformed into a community of high-end retail shops, restaurants, residential units and creative office space. In the last five years, hundreds of new residential units have been added to the immediate area. Midtown, already recognized nationally as one of the most walkable business/residential neighborhoods in America, unofficial home of the farm-to-fork movement and home to over 100 restaurants and eateries, has become even more popular thanks to the medley of artists, designers,and creatives residing and working in the corridor. Part of the excitement behind R Street’s emergence as a vibrant and distinctive district rests in the area’s unique history as the State’s first railroad and industrial corridor. Many brick buildings, landmarks, and street elements still reflect the former rail-based business activity that existed for over a century. Now, instead of warehouses and industrial shops, R Street’s historic structures are now home to some of the best dining, cocktails, entertainment, art and design that Sacramento has to offer.
