In putting the apartments up for sale, developer USA Properties Fund Inc. is following an established pattern for the Roseville-based company, according to CEO Geoff Brown.
Sacramento's Housing Element draft suggests potential for new homes in the city could exceed state allocations — with the right programs and policies. Beyond what's already in the development pipeline, for example, the city could see another 28,457 new units on what's identified as vacant or underutilized land within the city. Together with about 23,000 units already planned and 700 accessory dwelling units between now and 2029, the city would exceed the state's Regional Housing Needs Allocation for the city by almost 7,000 units.
