The Memorial Lofts would bring additional vitality, presence and sense of place to the intersection that now includes the historic Memorial Auditorium (1927) and the Elliot Building (1922.) Drawing from the City of Sacramento “Pedestrian Friendly Street Standards” as well as the strong community planning traditions of Sacramento’s established neighborhoods, the vibrant new building will engage in a lively dialogue with this community-centered crossroads. The structure combines a contemporary style with traditional materials and forms to be respectful of the historic surroundings.
