private, non-profit organization dedicated to the improvement of Sacramento’s central business district. The DSP oversees maintenance, safety, and revitalization programs financed by the Downtown Sacramento Management District, a property-based assessment district established in 1995.

20 12 ANN U A L R E P O R T

The district is roughly bound by H Street to the north, 16th Street to the east, N Street to the south and the Sacramento River to the west. The 66-block district is located within the central business district C-3 zoning area. The mission of the Downtown Sacramento Partnership is to establish Downtown Sacramento as the vibrant arts, entertainment, business and cultural destination of the greater Sacramento region through effective public-private collaboration for the benefit of residents, visitors and investors.


YEAR IN REVIEW

ADA Reform (SB 1186) The DSP, through our efforts with the California Downtown Association, advocated for reform of the Americans with Disability Act (ADA). The bill (SB 1186) will curb lawsuit abuse regarding ADA while promoting increased compliance with disabled accessibility building codes. The new legislation will prohibit attorneys from requesting money when submitting demand letters, reduce damages on unintentional violations, and will create a mechanism to increase compliance with state and federal ADA laws. This bill is being hailed as the most comprehensive and significant reform to California’s ADA Law.

OFFICE MARKET

The Sacramento region’s office market showed slow but steady improvement in 2012. The public sector continues to create activity Downtown through lease renewals, relocation, and consolidation into single locations. The largest lease transaction in 2012 was the State Controller’s Office renewal at 300 Capitol Mall with 190,000 sq. ft. While there is no current construction activity in the office market, Downtown is poised for progress with the forecasted growth in the health and professional services

industries. These trends will have a positive affect on future demand for commercial space. With the largest inventory of Class A space, downtown’s office market is ideal for tenants looking for competitive lease rates, and for incentives and opportunities to ‘trade up’ for more space or a more prestigious business address. Industry reports forecast that this tenant-favored market is likely to continue into 2014.

DSP’s Business Recruitment & Retention Program is a solutionoriented approach to improving downtown’s business environment. The retail recruitment manager serves as a liaison between property owners, brokers, tenants, the City of Sacramento and county and state agencies to facilitate retail development. This year, 26 new downtown businesses opened, accounting for nearly 80,000 sq. ft. of restaurant and retail space. Of those new businesses, 77% were either directly recruited or assisted by DSP. Downtown is also attracting new interest from investors. JMA Ventures’ purchase of the Downtown Plaza provides an opportunity for additional investment in Downtown’s largest retail space and better connectivity with the rest of the district. Sports Basement’s pending purchase of 730 I Street would make them the second single largest
