Marking its entry into downtown Sacramento, Newmark Cornish & Carey signed a lease for a suite on the top floor of the award-winning Park Tower, an art-deco-inspired building located at 980 9th Street. Rising 25 stories, the approximately 447,000-square-foot tower offers breathtaking, panoramic views of Sacramento, including the downtown arena that is currently under construction, Raley Field and California’s State Capitol building.
“After 30 years in the Point West region of Sacramento, this move feels like a fresh start,” said Devon Atlee, Newmark Cornish & Carey executive vice president and manager of its Sacramento region. “We have evolved as a company and as part of Newmark Grubb Knight Frank with an expanded service platform are excited to be in the heart of downtown where we are better positioned for growth and recruitment efforts. In Park Tower, Newmark Cornish & Carey will be aligned with young talent as well as growing enterprises which are increasingly seeking a presence in Sacramento’s urban core.”
The approximately 10,500-square-foot suite in Park Tower is 30 percent larger than Newmark Cornish & Carey’s Point West space, allowing for the addition of as many as 11 new agents - currently 29 brokers are based in Sacramento. The extra space may also be used to incorporate new service lines into the office.
Located at 980 9th Street at the corner of J Street, Park Tower soars above the emerging J Street Corridor and is surrounded by many of Sacramento’s most popular restaurants, finest hotels and bustling nightlife venues. Just three blocks from the future downtown arena, the State Capitol and the Railyards, Park Tower is central to the largest development projects in Sacramento.
“Perched on the 25th floor in the epicenter of downtown, we will have a bird’s eye view of Sacramento’s major development activity,” said Atlee. “With the $250 million investment into the arena site, and the city of Sacramento preparing to transform the 224-acre Railyards site into a dynamic, mixed-use, transit-oriented development, downtown Sacramento is poised for a significant renaissance and Newmark Cornish & Carey is thrilled to be part of it.”
Newmark Cornish & Carey will move to Park Tower in October of this year joining tenants such as Deloitte LLP, Regus, California Strategies, LLC and Downtown Sacramento Partnership. Amenities include a state-of-the-art fitness center, premium conference center and ample on-site parking.
