“This is the project that really launched my career in urban development.”

“ I had a couple of small projects under my belt but this was a major undertaking. We converted an 80-year old former car dealership in a historic structure and turned it into Sacramento’s first integrated mixed-use building. Combining pure historic preservation on the exterior with modern design on all the interiors was very satisfying.”

“This was also my first foray into public/private joint ventures as the City subsidized this project to make it feasible.”

“More than any other project I can think of, The Elliott Building was truly a catalyst project. The area around 16th and J streets is now Sacramento’s most dynamic new district.”
