Sacramento's new condos come with secret tunnel to stadium

New York

THE US$500 million Golden 1 Center, home to the National Basketball Association's (NBA) Sacramento Kings, opened in October 2016. Since then, the stadium has served as the centrepiece to Sacramento's Downtown Commons redevelopment programme (Doco), which also will include a soon-to-be-completed 16- storey hotel/luxury condo development called the Sawyer.

Renderings of the site include a plaza filled with shops and restaurants, a fountain crowned by a translucent sculpture, and a Benetton ad's worth of laughing twentysomethings carrying shopping bags.
