Case Study: the City of Sacramento Underwrites Railyards Bond Financing with RCLCO Market Absorption Analysis

City of Sacramento underwrites CFD bonds for 187-acre Railyards with RCLCO

The City of Sacramento was seeking guidance on the strategic market absorption for its 187-acre Railyards project to underpin the issuance of CFD bonds for public improvements. The city engaged RCLCO for a third-party pricing and absorption evaluation to analyze market demand for the planned mix of uses and project achievable pricing.

RCLCO conducted a site analysis, evaluated economic trends, and analyzed the competitive market to assess demand for multifamily residential, retail, office, and hotel uses. RCLCO translated these findings into development conclusions regarding achievable pricing and absorption. These findings were used by the city's consultant team to underwrite the CFD bonds supporting the large-scale development.
