The reshaping of the Railyards is anchored by several key developments. Some are still ongoing, while others are completed. Here is an overview of the latest:

Republic Stadium
The newest playing grounds for the Sacramento Republic FC will be the largest outdoor professional sports stadium in the region upon completion, spanning 14 acres and over 50,000 square feet. The stadium will have a capacity for over 20,000 people for normal games and an expanded capacity of 27,000 for entertainment and special events. The open-air design features a canopy covering all the stadium’s seats and twin video boards for live display.
Plans originally called for construction of a smaller stadium that could be expanded if the team secured a spot in Major League Soccer. In March, the team said that it would instead proceed with the larger design. The stadium broke ground last August and is expected to open sometime in 2028.
Kaiser Permanente Railyards Medical Center
Set to replace the aging Kaiser hospital on Morse Avenue, the new planned medical center at 365 Railyards Blvd. will feature an eight-story hospital building with 310 beds. The all-electric facility will have a full emergency department and intensive care unit, alongside 14 operating rooms. The campus will include a five-story medical office building and a seven-story parking garage.
Construction broke ground in March 2025 and Kaiser says that the medical center is scheduled to open in 2029.
Tani G. Cantil-Sakauye Sacramento County Courthouse
Towering at 18 stories, the new Sacramento County Courthouse opened in April. It began construction in late 2020. Located at 500 G St., the building has 53 courtrooms and replaced and consolidated operations at the Gordon D. Schaber Courthouse (720 9th St.) and the Hall of Justice (813 6th St.). The $514 million facility features enhanced security screening and more public spaces than its predecessors, including larger jury assembly areas.
Sacramento Valley Station Upgrades
Several projects are planned for the city-owned Sacramento Valley Station, or SVS, and its connecting transportation infrastructure.
The Commuter Bus Stop Consolidation Project will reduce 34 current stops to 17, said Greg Taylor, supervising architect and project manager for the city of Sacramento. The new route will be distinguished as a commuter line by special canopies. Final design will continue through 2027. And the city estimated construction could be completed in 2028. Taylor says that the city eventually plans to extend the consolidated bus line into SVS.

A related project, extending 5th Street into the Railyards, will complete construction next month. It will remain closed to the public until nearby construction developments are completed.
A north entrance to the Railyards, connecting the existing SVS passenger tunnel to the Central Shops Plaza, is currently under construction with other Central Shops projects. It is slated for completion at the end of 2027. It will provide access to the northern side of the rail tracks and service a planned parking garage between 5th and 6th streets.
A western connector into SVS will see a 400-foot extension of Bercut Drive and the bike trail to the existing West Tunnel. Taylor says that the tunnel was constructed in 2012 but has been closed as it has yet to connect to a public street on its north end. The Bercut Drive terminus will end in an enlarged cul-de-sac to service SacRT buses and large group vehicles visiting the Railyards. The connector is in the final design stages and developer led construction could start as soon as 2027.
The city is also in the early planning stages of a bikeway on H Street into SVS. It would connect with north and southbound bikeways on 6th, 9th and 10th streets. City staff want to finalize design in spring 2028 and begin construction in spring 2029.
Apartments
Opened in June 2024, the Wong Center Senior Apartments (530 7th St.) includes 150 affordable housing units, 135 one-bedroom units and 15 two-bedroom units. When it opened, The Sacramento Bee reported that nearly 600 senior citizens had applied for a chance to live at the complex.
The A.J. apartment complex (251 6th St.) has 345 units in a mixed-income community; 80% of the units are leased at market rates and the remaining 20% are reserved for low-income renters. The mixed-use property includes retail space and opened in April 2025.
A third apartment complex, The Telegrapher Apartments (246 6th St.), is in the design phase. Plans include 301 residential units and ground-floor retail with parking.
