A long-vacant building in Sacramento’s Mansion Flats neighborhood is set to become housing.

A developer has submitted plans to the city to convert the building, located at 1228 H St., into 24 units of market-rate housing, said Kelli Trapani, a city spokesperson.

The apartment building will contain 14 one-bedroom and 10 two-bedroom units, according to an application the developer submitted to the city earlier this week. No trees will need to be removed.

The two-story building, in a lively area close to midtown, appears to have been vacant since at least 2011, according to Google Maps historical images.

The project is not set to require Planning and Design Commission or City Council approval, Trapani said. It will, however, need city staff approval.

Rocklin-based Tangent Design and Engineering, the applicant, did not answer a question of when construction would start.

“This project supports Sacramento’s housing goals by increasing residential density in a walkable, transit-accessible area, while preserving and upgrading existing built infrastructure,” the application said.
