Urban Capital Plans 100-Unit Modular Housing Projectmin Sacramento

• Urban Capital LLC is proposing 100 factory-built homes at 2809 Rio Linda Boulevard in Sacramento.
• The 2.4-acre supportive housing project will include 98 affordable units, including 49 reserved for veterans.
• Boss Homes will manufacture the modular units, with completion targeted for early 2028.

What Urban Capital Is Building

Urban Capital LLC is moving forward with a 100-unit supportive housing community in Sacramento's South Hagginwood neighborhood, using factory-built modular homes instead of conventional apartment construction. The project at 2809 Rio Linda Boulevard will provide permanent supportive housing for people experiencing homelessness with behavioral health challenges. Sacramento city records identify Urban Capital as the project developer and show the city pursuing Homekey+ funding for the development.

 

 

What The 100 Homes Include

The development will contain 98 affordable residences and two units for on-site property managers. The affordable housing is divided evenly between 49 homes for veterans experiencing homelessness with behavioral health challenges and 49 homes for other individuals experiencing homelessness with similar challenges. The homes are expected to be approximately 240 square feet, with private bathrooms and kitchenettes. The campus will also include two common open spaces, two community rooms, six laundry rooms and surface parking for roughly 28 vehicles.

 

 

What Studio 81 And Boss Homes Are Delivering

Studio 81 International is designing the community, while Descor will oversee construction and installation. Boss Homes is manufacturing the dwelling units, allowing much of the housing to be produced off-site before being installed on the Sacramento property. The modular approach is central to Urban Capital's strategy of lowering construction costs and shortening the timeline compared with conventional multifamily development. Earlier project estimates put construction costs at roughly $207,000 per unit, although the final project cost can change as funding and construction progress.

What The Funding Means For The Project

The project has received significant public backing. Sacramento approved a $3 million HHAP commitment, while city officials also pursued up to $40 million in Homekey+ funding for the project. The state has since awarded nearly $32 million for the Rio Linda project, helping move the factory-built housing concept closer to construction. The development is now targeting completion in early 2028.

What This Means For Sacramento Housing

The Rio Linda project is notable because it tests whether modular construction can deliver supportive housing faster and at a lower cost than traditional development. For affordable housing developers and investors, the project offers a different model for addressing housing demand on smaller infill sites. Its combination of factory-built units, public financing and specialized resident eligibility could provide a blueprint for similar supportive housing communities if the approach proves successful. With funding secured and the modular homes being manufactured by Boss Homes, the 2809 Rio Linda Boulevard project is moving toward a planned 2028 opening.
