Hotel, apartment complex planned for South Natomas vacant lot near Interstate 5
A developer is planning to build a four-story hotel and a 160-unit apartment complex on a vacant South Natomas lot near Interstate 5.
The project, at 2450 W. El Camino Ave. in the Gateway Center neighborhood, would include a 112-room hotel and four apartment buildings, each four stories, according to Kosh Grewal of RK Properties and Development.
The project will require approval from the city Planning and Design Commission and the City Council, said Kelli Trapani, a city spokesperson.
Sixteen of the 160 apartment units will be income-restricted to qualify for a state “density bonus” incentive, allowing the developer to fit more units on the land, Grewal said. The rest of the units will be market-rate.
“We’d been looking for a hotel site for a while, and we liked this one because of its proximity to the airport, the Railyards and downtown,” the Roseville-based developer said. “We obviously need the hotel and residential space in the city. It’s getting harder and harder to find sites in the city.”
Grewal also liked that the site is near restaurants, bars, the express bus to Downtown Commons and a new Topgolf driving range coming soon.
The hotel will be a TownePlace Suites by Marriott, Grewal said.
If the council approves the project, construction would start in late 2026 or early 2027 and take around 12 to 16 months to complete, Grewal said.
