Happy Holidays from Mogavero Architects!

Though we cannot be “together” at this time, we made the best of this holiday season by decorating the office and hosting our annual holiday party virtually!   As this year winds down and comes to a close, we would like to thank everyone who made the last several months memorable. Our clients, consultants, and coworkers have applied themselves diligently and creatively to make this year work, despite COVID19 turning the world upside down. We are grateful to you all.   Here’s to the new year!

1212 Village Coming to Del Paso Boulevard

A new mixed-use affordable housing project is on the horizon for Del Paso Boulevard, the early twentieth-century historic main street in the North Sacramento neighborhood. In partnership with Volunteers of America, Mogavero Architects has designed a four-story, 75-unit development at 1212 Del Paso Blvd to be named 1212 Village. It will be the first major new construction investment on the Boulevard in several decades and thus will be transformative socially and economically. The project will provide a new housing opportunity for 75 families that have incomes of less than 80% of the area median income. Future residents will enjoy amenities such as a community space, computer lab, and an outdoor courtyard with a playground. Additionally, the project will be integrated into the existing neighborhood by featuring ground-floor retail space. The project has been designed with one eye on the historic context of the neighborhood and the other on the community objective of establishing a precedent for scale and character of future development on the Boulevard. After completion, 1212 Village will continue to be managed by Volunteers of America’s Northern California/Northern Nevada branch who will offer community resources such as financial literacy classes and other services.

Mogavero Works From Home

Mogavero Architects has successfully transitioned to remote work for the time being during California’s Shelter-in-Place orders. For our staff, this means that our workspaces look a little different lately compared to the ones we are used to at our 1331 T Street office in Downtown Sacramento. Working remotely from our home offices has taken some getting used to, but the temporary change in scenery hasn’t stopped our creative team! Take a look at some of the many new views from Mogavero Architects’ home workspaces.

Mercy Pedalers Collects Donations

Over the last couple of weeks Mogavero Architects’ staff has been collecting socks, toiletry products, scarfs, blankets, sleeping bags, tents, cash and homemade baked goods. We delivered our collection of items to Mercy Pedalers at an event held this morning in Cesar Chavez Park to donate to the homeless community in Sacramento. The event was well attended and the Mercy Pedalers staff was dressed in festive attire and led a parade of kazoo-ers around the park. Sister Libby Fernandez and the Mercy Pedalers staff and volunteers, with the help of KCRA’s Financial Expert Kelly Brothers, passed out donated items to homeless as they filled up donated backpacks and bags with much needed items. Mogavero Architects was happy to help collect items for the homeless community. Thank you to Mercy Pedalers for the work they do in our community and organizing such a worthy event.
