SACRAMENTO, CA--(Marketwired - Jan 29, 2015) - Presidio Residential Capital and BlackPine Communities will hold a grand opening celebration for Curtis Park Village, a 71-acre mixed-use urban infill community on a former Union Pacific railroad yard in Curtis Park, on January 31 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Grand opening festivities include appetizers from Formoli's Bistro, and the jazz band, Emperors Jazz Combo, will provide entertainment. BlackPine is offering $5,000 worth of option credits to homebuyers who purchase a home at Curtis Park Village through the month of February.
Located next to one of Sacramento's most sought-after legacy neighborhoods and one mile and a half from downtown Sacramento, Curtis Park Village is offering three brownstone home plans ranging from 2,000 to 2,900 square feet, "estate" plans ranging from "2,050 to 2,850 square feet, which feature five architectural styles and 32 different street perspectives, and 12 cottage plans ranging from 1,500 to 2,200 square feet. Five of the brownstones have been sold, and several move-ins are scheduled in February.
"This is one of the first new home communities with this style of housing to be built in this area for 50 years, and homebuyers are recognizing this as a unique opportunity," said Michael E. Paris, founder, president and CFO of BlackPine Communities. "The grand opening will be a great opportunity for people to see virtually every size, shape and option we're offering."
With unique architectural expressions that complement the iconic Curtis Park neighborhood, the solar-ready homes include custom cabinetry, high-end GE appliances, rear-load garage access through a gated alley and front yard landscape maintenance. Residents will have access to a six-acre community park and extensive walking trails, and the $400 million development will feature retail stores, restaurants and housing for all income levels, including a senior housing project.
In February 2014, Presidio Residential Capital partnered with BlackPine Communities to build 86 new homes at Curtis Park Village with a $22 million commitment.

"Curtis Park Village offers a timeless residential expression of 'old meets new' with historically based nouveau American cottages and brownstones inspired by Park Slope, New York," said Presidio Residential Capital principal Paul Lucatuarto. "Curtis Park Village offers subtle and sophisticated expressions that complement one another, drawing a picturesque and memorable streetscape. Three distinct communities essentially offer three uniquely different house styles and choices."
Curtis Park Village is close to major employers, including state and county municipal offices, several hospitals, Aerojet/GenCorp and California State University-Sacramento. An $11.5 million pedestrian and bicycle bridge will link residents to a shopping center and a nearby light rail station at Sacramento City College.
Curtis Park Village is expected to be completed in 2018.
