Luella

we acquired Luella in august 2020. located in SACRAMento’s historic MIDTown neighborhood, Luella will benefit from the significant investment the district has seen over the past decade.

The project is a 51-unit market-rate apartment community that features a mix of single level and loft style studio, 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom homes. Close to four city parks and retail shops, and just a block from “restaurant row” on R Street, Luella offers excellent pedestrian and bike access, with a Walk Score of 94 and a Bike Score of 99. With a light rail station located on the adjacent property, it also offers great transit access. The building's namesake, Luella Johnston, was the first woman elected to Sacramento's City Council in 1912, just a year after California gave women the right to vote.

Local artist, Franceska Gamez, designed and installed a vibrant mural on the south side of the building. Highly visible to anyone using the adjacent light rail station and to residents accessing the building through its main entrance, the mural is inspired by the art and symbolism that emerged from the women's suffrage movement. It pays homage to Johnston and other pioneering suffragettes of the early 20th Century.

Delivered in June 2024, Luella is currently in lease-up.
