contractor=The Towers on Capitol Mall were two 53-story, 615 foot (187 m)
mixed-use towers to be built in downtownSacramento, California . The buildings (The Towers on Capitol Mall I & II) were planned to have 804condominiums , a 200 roomInterContinental Hotel , and ground floorretail . Rumoured retailers include Gucci, Prada, Kenneth Cole and Tiffany & Co.. The Towers are notable due to the massive scope and scale of the building, and it would have easily surpassed the city's current tallest building, the 423 foot (129 m) Wells Fargo Center. The project had been on hold since January 7th, 2007 due toliens being filed against developerJohn Saca , totaling $7.3 million. Calpers and Deustche Bank have been the primary financial support for the project, however stipulating conditions have led to the collapse of the project.CalPERS is now teaming up with Los Angeles-based CIM to develop the downtown Sacramento block into a similar but smaller high-rise construction project consisting of a hotel, condominiums and office space. The project would incorporate the original foundation piles that were driven into the bedrock in 2006 to support the weight of the 615-foot (187 m) skyscrapers.Location
The Towers would have been located at the address 301 Capitol Mall, a prominent location near the Tower Bridge and within a few blocks from the
California State Capitol which at one time was home to theSacramento Union newspaper.Project's Status
Currently, the project has ceased sales and construction, permanently. The project's title/escrow firm, First American Title Company is in the process of returning all earnest deposits to the buyers. These deposits had been earning interest in a special money market-style account since early 2006
