The Carlaw is a three-story mixed-use redevelopment project located in the historic R Street Corridor that features 16,415 square feet of ground floor commercial space and twenty-six (26) luxuriously appointed apartment homes above. The last remaining space offers 3,414 square feet of highly visible class A retail and restaurant space, plus an extensive outdoor patio dining area. Stylish executed design finishes, the residences are fully leased to urbanite working professionals. The iconic historic building at 1016-1026 R Street was the former New Helvetia Theatre and innovatively adapted into The Carlaw. Originally a stone masonry business, the extraordinary project is named after stone-cutters John and Andrew Carlaw, brothers who arrived in Sacramento from Scotland in the 1880s. The inspiring red brick facade was thoughtfully retained and refurbished to showcase the unique architectural features — exposed brick walls, exposed 15-foot-high concrete ceilings, concrete columns, and newer industrial-style windows. A new brick veneer and metal siding building was constructed to “wrap” over the existing building at the 2nd and 3rd floors with large balconies, rooftop decks, and modern presentation. The R Street Corridor exemplifies Sacramento’s enterprising spirit and creative culture. An avenue of old industrial warehouses have been transformed into a community of high-end retail shops, restaurants, hundreds of new residential units, and creative office space. Midtown, already rec-ognized nationally as one of the most walkable business/residential neighborhoods in America, unofficial home of the farm-to-fork movement and home to over 100 restaurants and eateries, has become even more popular thanks to the medley of artists, designers,and creatives re-siding and working in the now thriving live-work-play district. Vibrant and distinctive, many former warehouses and industrial shops, like The Carlaw, are now home to some of the best dining, cocktails, entertainment, art and design that Sacramento has to offer.
