1661 Garden Highway
A complete full-building renovation of this Sacramento River office property, including modern workplace updates within a building long associated with E.M. Kado Associates.
Updating a riverfront office property with architectural history
The property at 1661 Garden Highway has longstanding ties to E.M. Kado Associates, the Sacramento architecture firm led by Ed Kado. That design legacy gave the renovation a clear responsibility: modernize the building without flattening its character.
The renovation updated the building for contemporary workplace use while retaining defining elements of the site, from the river-oriented setting to the roofline and overall massing that give the property its identity.
Projects with history demand more than technical execution. They require judgment, restraint, and respect. Ramsey Construction Services approached this site as a steward of the original vision, working carefully within the existing architectural narrative while bringing new life to the spaces that inhabit it.
