Jacob’s Downtown Update

Data Dive

The Rainey Street District has seen the biggest transformation in downtown, maybe of all time. Previously a strip of single family bungalows, will now boast over 4,600 residential units once all current projects are completed in 2027. The first project was the Milago in 2006, bringing 260 units. Soon, the district will have added 1,800 condos (for purchase) and 2,880 apartments (for rent only).
