David Taylor and his magical team are at it again in downtown Sacramento with their latest project a magnificent 25-story office building at 621 Capitol Mall. According to David, the “big boy toys” should begin mass excavation in mid-February, subject to the completion of the de-watering phase. Once the de-watering phase is completed, the project construction phase is scheduled for 24 months. Presently, 30% of the building has been leased to two major tenants, including 85,000 square feet for the 109 attorneys and support staff of Downey Brand. David’s company, David S. Taylor Interests, Inc., is close to signing a third tenant for an additional 10% of the building.

Over the next two years I plan to document the progress of the project with a photo essay series. This is where we begin, with David’s video (click on project and then video), a vision, and a promise for a grand building…

The vision…



The parking lot, soon never more...
