Capitol Mall


The Capitol Mall or Capitol Mall Boulevard is a major street and landscaped parkway in the state capital city of Sacramento, California. It connects Downtown Sacramento with the city of West Sacramento in Yolo County.

Centered on the eastern terminus of the Capitol Mall is the 1860s landmark California State Capitol building and parks. The Mall runs westward through Downtown, over the Golden State Highway, past the Riverfront Promenade park, and across the Sacramento River on the iconic Tower Bridge. Some of Sacramento's major businesses and law firms are located on the Capitol Mall.

The Capitol Mall was previously also known as State Route 275, but was relinquished to the city in January 2006.

Landmarks on the Capitol Mall, from the west (Downtown Sacramento) to the east (Sacramento River), include:

Located at 1 Capitol Mall, Drexel University Sacramento is the California campus of renowned Drexel University, based in Philadelphia. It is located near the iconic Tower Bridge, between the Sacramento River and the Mall's crossing over the Golden State Highway—California State Route 99.

Located at 100 Capitol Mall near the Tower Bridge, the 242 room 'Embassy Suites Sacramento - Riverfront Promenade' is a hotel popular with tourists, due to its proximity to Old Town in the Old Sacramento State Historic Park and the Riverfront Promenade park along the Sacramento River.

Located at the gateway to downtown, the busy intersection of 3rd Street and Capitol Mall, 300 Capitol Mall stands 18 stories high with 383,238 square feet of rentable area. The tower was designed by Daniel, Mann, Johnson & Mendenhall (DMJM) and completed in 1984.
