Construction reaches full height at Pierside in West Sacramento.
The Pierside project in West Sacramento has reached its full height, adding two new riverfront buildings that now rise side by side along Riverfront Street.
Onsite Observer visited the site this week to see how far construction has come.
Just south of The Barn at 995 Riverfront Street, the residential structure is wrapped in scaffolding from top to bottom as crews work across multiple levels installing exterior materials. The commercial building already carries a more finished look. Its glass façade is now in place on all sides, reflecting the river and the downtown Sacramento skyline.

Pierside is one of the largest mixed-use developments underway in the Bridge District, spanning roughly 396,000 square feet across two main structures. The residential building will include 260 apartments and 21 live/work townhomes built over a two-level concrete podium containing parking and leasing space. Residents will have access to a 15,000-square-foot pool deck and a large interior courtyard.
Next to it is a five-story office and amenity building totaling about 59,000 square feet. The building will soon house the new headquarters for both Brown Construction and Fulcrum Property, the project’s developer. Plans call for ground-floor retail, a fitness center, and upper levels dedicated to private offices and collaborative space.
Construction began in 2024 and remains on pace for completion in 2026. PGAL is serving as design architect, with Kuchman Architects leading work on the residential portion. Once complete, the project will not only bring new housing and office space to the district but will also house the very team that built it.
Standing on the riverbank today, the Bridge District looks nothing like it did a decade ago. The area keeps evolving with each new project, slowly turning what was once a stretch of warehouses and empty riverfront into a lived-in part of the city. With Pierside, the district moves closer to West Sacramento’s long-term vision of a connected waterfront — a place defined less by its industrial past and more by its walkability, housing, and public life.
