We extend our sincere gratitude to all who attended our recent event hosted by Lon Determan, which focused on the future of urban housing and showcased the remarkable transformation of the Thompson Diggs building in Downtown Sacramento.
The gathering brought together architects, industry experts, and community members for a dynamic discussion on addressing housing shortages through innovative approaches to urban space utilization. The Thompson Diggs project, expertly developed by Heller Pacific, served as an inspiring case study demonstrating how office-to-residential conversions can create meaningful impact.
Throughout the event, participants explored several key themes:
- How converting underutilized office spaces into residential units can help alleviate housing shortages
- The role of adaptive reuse in revitalizing downtown areas and creating vibrant communities
- Sustainability benefits of repurposing existing structures rather than demolishing and rebuilding
- Current design trends that balance modern living needs with historic preservation
- Strategies for maintaining urban character while creating functional, livable spaces
The Thompson Diggs project exemplifies the potential of thoughtful urban transformation. By reimagining existing buildings, we can address housing challenges while honoring architectural heritage and strengthening community connections.
We look forward to continuing these important conversations and sharing more innovative projects that contribute to the evolution of our urban landscape.
