Norwood Studios
A Proposed Mixed-Use Redevelopment Vision for North Sacramento
Norwood Studios is a proposed mixed-use redevelopment centered on Parcel 26, an approximately 3.529-acre site at 2885 Norwood Avenue in North Sacramento. The preliminary vision combines workforce-oriented housing, live/work opportunities, neighborhood-serving commercial uses, youth learning space, community gathering areas, and long-term investment in the Norwood Avenue corridor. The project is currently in the predevelopment and due diligence phase. The TTC Trust is evaluating site planning, engineering, utility requirements, the existing storm drain easement, market and financial feasibility, development incentives, financing strategies, and applicable City of Sacramento review processes.

Long-Term Property Stewardship
The proposed Norwood Studios redevelopment is grounded in decades of direct property ownership, business operations, tenant relationships, and neighborhood involvement. The TTC Trust has owned and managed property along the Norwood Avenue corridor since 1998. The Trustee’s on-site business experience dates back to 1988 and includes direct involvement in retail operations, property maintenance, commercial leasing, tenant coordination, and support for local entrepreneurs. This long-standing connection to the property provides practical knowledge of the site, its businesses, its customers, and the surrounding community. The redevelopment vision is intended to build on that foundation by evaluating new housing, live/work opportunities, community-serving uses, and long-term economic investment while respecting the property’s existing operations and neighborhood context.
