Construction Gets Underway on Former Capitol Park Hotel
Construction on the former Capitol Park Hotel, located at 1125 9th St. in Sacramento’s downtown core, will transform the building into permanent supportive housing for individuals who are experiencing homelessness. Mercy Housing’s team of contractors and engineers recently began clearing out the interior of the city’s largest downtown single-room occupancy residential hotel located less than a block away from the State Capitol.
“Mercy Housing’s start on the Capitol Park Hotel represents a significant milestone for our city in our efforts to address homelessness,” said Mayor Darrell Steinberg. “With 134 homes now under construction, Mercy Housing’s team makes a significant contribution to our supply of much-needed permanent supportive housing.”
Originally built in 1912, the building has served many purposes throughout the decades, including a furniture store and warehouse, two separate hotels, and a business college. Known as the Capitol Park Hotel since the 1960s, it was constructed as two separate buildings connected on all but one of its floors.
