Washington District Land is a ±1.5-acre (±63,664 SF) infill development opportunity with views of the Sacramento River, located in the heart of West Sacramento’s Washington District. This historic neighborhood is experiencing steady reinvestment driven by new housing, infrastructure upgrades, and increased interest in walkable urban living. Comprised of eight parcels and zoned WF (Waterfront), the site supports high-density uses including multifamily, mixed-use, hospitality, and retail, within a city known for its responsive and pro-growth approach to development.
Located in Yolo County, the City of West Sacramento has emerged as one of the most forward-looking municipalities in Northern California. Once known primarily for its industrial and port activity, the city has undergone a major transformation over the past two decades. Focused investment along the riverfront, particularly within the Washington and Bridge Districts, has redefined the city’s identity and positioned it as a central player in the region’s urban development narrative.
Under longtime mayor Christopher Cabaldon, who served from 1998 to 2020, West Sacramento built a national reputation for progressive city-building, public-private partnerships, and waterfront revitalization. That legacy continues today through strategic infrastructure upgrades, new housing, and a wave of mixed-use development along the Sacramento River. The result is a rare blend of livability, urban potential, and relative affordability—drawing interest from developers, employers, and residents seeking walkable, connected communities.
The site’s location, just across the Tower Bridge from Downtown Sacramento, offers seamless access to some of the region’s most prominent destinations. Within minutes are Golden 1 Center, Old Sacramento Waterfront, and the expanding Sacramento Railyards, one of the largest urban infill projects in the country. The area is also home to the California State Capitol, the SAFE Credit Union Convention Center, and the SAFE Credit Union Performing Arts Center, reinforcing the city’s importance as the political, cultural, and entertainment heart of the region. As Sacramento’s urban core continues to grow, West Sacramento has become a natural extension of that momentum, offering room to build, riverfront visibility, and immediate regional connectivity.
