(a) Taxes. All non-delinquent real and personal property taxes and assessments (including the CFDs) on the Property shall be prorated on the basis that Seller is responsible for (i) all such taxes for the fiscal year of the applicable taxing authorities occurring prior to the Current Tax Period, and (ii) that portion of such taxes for the Current Tax Period determined on the basis of the number of days which have elapsed from the first day of the Current Tax Period to the Close of Escrow, inclusive, whether or not the same shall be payable prior to the Close of Escrow.

12. Post-Closing Enforcement of the 2015 Railyards Agreement. Seller, following the Close of Escrow, agrees to adhere to the following process regarding the pursued enforcement the 2015 Railyards Agreement on behalf of the City, which obligation shall survive the Close of Escrow and the expiration of the Survival Period for the period of time that the Property remains deannexed from the Master CC&Rs in accordance with the Third Amendment to the Master CC&Rs; provided, however, such obligation of Seller shall cease and be of no further force or effect if the 2015 Railyards Agreement earlier terminates. (a) Post-Closing Enforcement. As more particularly described in and defined in the 2015 Railyards Agreement, (a) UPRR has agreed to perform the “UPRR Order Recipient Obligations” for the direct benefit of Declarant (which is the Seller under this Agreement) in developing and selling portions of the Railyards (which includes the Property) and agreed that Seller has a direct right of enforcing the “UPRR Order Recipient Obligations” on its own behalf or on the behalf of “Order Recipients” (“Section

18.3 UPRR Obligations”), and (b) UPRR has agreed to perform the “UPRR Obligations” for the direct benefit of Seller in developing and selling portions of the Railyards and agreed that Seller has a direct right of enforcing the “UPRR Obligations” on its own behalf or on the behalf of “Subsequent Owners” (“Section

18.4 UPRR Obligations”). As more particularly described in, defined in, and subject to the 2015 Railyards Agreement, a Subsequent Owner (which would include the City following the Close of Escrow), which -9-
receives an “Order”, thereafter falls within the definition of “Order Recipients”. If the City, as an Order Recipient, reasonably concludes that UPRR has failed to comply with either the Section 18.3 UPRR Obligations or the Section 18.4 UPRR Obligations and such failure directly or indirectly adversely effects the City’s development, use or business operations on the Property, the City shall have the right to deliver a written notice to Seller, which includes a written summary of the alleged failure of UPRR and any available supporting materials or information applicable thereto (“UPRR Obligations Notice”). Within forty-five (45) days following Seller’s receipt of the UPRR Obligations Notice, the parties shall meet and evaluate the information provided in the UPRR Obligations Notice for the purpose of supplementing or adjusting such claims or materials with other available information that may not have been contained within the UPRR Obligation Notice. Such additional information may be provided DTSC or other applicable governmental agencies or obtained through meetings by the parties with such agencies, and each party agrees to participate in a reasonable number of meetings with such agencies requested by the other party during such 45-day period. The UPRR Obligations Notice, as so supplemented and adjusted, is referred to as the “Updated UPRR Obligations Notice,” and the described failure of UPRR is the “UPRR Failure.” (b) Pursuing Enforcement / Informal Negotiations – Mediation. Within thirty (30) days following the parties’ agreement upon the Updated UPRR Obligations Notice, if not resolved to the City’s satisfaction within such time period and except as provided in Section 12(c) below, Seller, at City’s cost, shall submit the UPRR Failure to the dispute resolution process with UPRR described in Section 19.1(a) and (c), if necessary, of the 2015 Railyards Agreement and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the UPRR Failure to be cured by UPRR through such process; provided, however, no representation or warranty is made by Seller regarding the outcome of such proceedings and the failure of Seller to prevail is such proceeding shall not be deemed a default of Seller. (c) Pursuing Enforcement / Judicial Action. If (a) the City determines that the UPRR Failure requires the seeking of a temporary restraining order or a preliminary injunction, or (b) Seller is unsuccessful in resolving the UPRR Failure to the reasonable satisfaction of the City through the dispute resolution process described in Section 12(b) above, the City shall have the right to require Seller, by delivery of written notice, to use its commercially reasonable efforts to pursue the enforcement of the UPRR Failure by institution of judicial action against UPRR in accordance with Section 19(d) of the 2015 Railyards Agreement using legal counsel approved by and/or selected by the City (“Enforcement Legal Counsel”); provided that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary and irrespective of the outcome of such action, all fees, expenses and associated costs of the Enforcement Legal Counsel and the institution, processing, participation and outcome of such judicial action shall be the responsibility of the City (which shall be funded monthly in accordance with a written budget that has been approved in advance by the City); provided further no representation or warranty is made by Seller regarding the outcome of such action and the failure of Seller to prevail in such action shall not be deemed a default of Seller under this Agreement.

13. State Land Use Covenant. As set forth in the Title Documents, the Property is subject to the Land Use Covenant and Agreement Environmental Restrictions (“State Land Use Covenant”) recorded in the Official Records of the County of Sacramento on September 30, 2015, Series No. 201509301634.

With regard to the State Land Use Covenant, the installation of a sub-building slab vapor mitigation system (“Vapor Barrier”) at City’s cost as part of the development of the Property that is approved by DTSC is required and City agrees to install or cause its successors and assigns to be installed the DTSC-approved Vapor Barrier in conjunction with the development of the Property, which obligation shall survive the Close of Escrow and the expiration of the Survival Period; provided that if DTSC waives such requirement, such obligation shall be modified to the scope of such DTSC waiver. Seller shall reasonably cooperate with City in gaining such approval of DTSC; provided, however, Seller makes no representation or warranty regarding the terms, conditions or outcome of such approval process (such vapor mitigation systems have been approved by DTSC for other developments within the Railyards). -10-

15. Seller's Representations and Warranties. In consideration of City entering into this Agreement, Seller makes the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in this Section 15, which are material and are being relied upon by City. For the purpose of this Agreement, usage of "to the best of Seller's knowledge," or words to such effect, shall mean the actual current knowledge of Denton Kelley and Josh Leachman, in their respective capacities on behalf of Seller (any inconsistency in a representation(s) and warranty(ies) made by any listed individual shall be limited to a recovery against Seller subject to the provisions of this Agreement), excluding constructive knowledge or duty of inquiry, existing as of the Effective Date. To the extent that Seller becomes aware of any conflict with the representations and warranties set forth herein after the Effective Date and prior to the Close of Escrow, Seller shall provide City with written notice thereof, in which case City shall have the right to either (i) terminate this Agreement, in which case the provisions of Sections 6(c) shall apply, or (ii) proceed with the transaction described herein, waiving such inconsistent representation(s) and warranty(ies). In the event City becomes aware of any such conflict prior to the Close of Escrow, and thereafter completes the transaction described hereby, City shall be deemed to have proceeded in accordance with subsection (ii) above.

16. City's Representations and Warranties. In consideration of the Seller entering into this Agreement and as an inducement to Seller to sell the Property to City, City makes the following representations and warranties, each of which is material and is being relied upon by Seller (the continued truth and accuracy of which shall constitute a condition precedent to Seller's obligations hereunder).

(b) No Conflict. The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions provided for herein and the fulfillment of the terms hereof will not result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any provision of City’s organizational documents, or any contract, document or law to which City is subject.

17. Breach by Seller. If the Close of Escrow does not occur or if City terminates this Agreement because of Seller's failure to perform or breach of any of its obligations, representations or warranties hereunder and such failure or breach continues uncured for five (5) business days following notice from City to Seller thereof, City may elect, as its sole and exclusive remedy hereunder, to either (i) terminate this Agreement by delivery of written notice to Seller in which case the Deposit shall be immediately returned to City and both parties shall be relieved from any further liability hereunder except for (a) those obligations and agreements of Seller and City which expressly survive termination of this Agreement (the "Surviving Obligations"), and (b) City shall be entitled to recover, its actual damages including, without limitation, third party costs (including, but not limited to, other professional fees, excluding attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with the preparation and negotiation of this Agreement and City's investigation of the Property (collectively, "City's Costs"), not to exceed $100,000.00 (the "Cap"), or (ii) commence an action for specific performance of Seller's obligations hereunder. In the event that City fails to commence an action against Seller pursuant to clause (ii) of the preceding sentence by August 31, 2025, City shall automatically be deemed to have terminated the Agreement pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence. -14-
Except as provided in this Section 17, City expressly and unconditionally waives any right to recover damages from Seller.

18. Breach by City / Liquidated Damages. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE OF CITY'S OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER. IF CLOSE OF ESCROW DOES NOT OCCUR BECAUSE CITY

DEFAULTS HEREUNDER OR BREACHES ANY OF THE TERMS OR CONDITIONS CONTAINED

HEREIN PRIOR TO CLOSE OF ESCROW AND, EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO A BREACH OF CITY'S OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 8, SUCH DEFAULT OR BREACH CONTINUES UNCURED FOR FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS FOLLOWING NOTICE FROM SELLER TO CITY

THEREOF, SELLER SHALL BE ENTITLED, AS ITS SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY, TO

TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT AND RETAIN THE DEPOSIT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

HEREUNDER AND NEITHER PARTY SHALL HAVE ANY FURTHER RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER TO EACH OTHER EXCEPT FOR THE SURVIVING OBLIGATIONS. SELLER

HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHTS, AT LAW OR IN EQUITY, THAT SELLER MAY HAVE TO SEEK

SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE AGAINST CITY FOR CITY'S BREACH OR DEFAULT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT IT WOULD BE EXTREMELY IMPRACTICAL AND

DIFFICULT TO ASCERTAIN THE ACTUAL DAMAGES SUFFERED BY SELLER AS A RESULT

OF CITY'S FAILURE TO COMPLETE THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY PURSUANT TO THIS

AGREEMENT, AND THAT UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING AS OF THE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVIDED FOR IN THIS SECTION 18

REPRESENTS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES WHICH SELLER WILL INCUR

AS A RESULT OF SUCH FAILURE AND ACCORDINGLY, SUCH AMOUNT SHALL BE THE SOLE

AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY OF SELLER FOR SUCH A DEFAULT AND FAILURE BY CITY AND THE FULL, AGREED AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES WHICH SELLER SHALL BE ENTITLED;

PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THIS PROVISION SHALL NOT WAIVE OR AFFECT SELLER'S RIGHTS AND CITY'S OBLIGATIONS PURSUANT TO THE SURVIVING OBLIGATIONS. THE

PAYMENT AND RETENTION OF THE DEPOSIT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IS NOT INTENDED

AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY WITHIN THE MEANING OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 3275 OR 3369, BUT IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO SELLER PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 1671, 1676 AND 1677. SELLER HEREBY WAIVES THE PROVISIONS OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 1680 AND 3389.

insurance proceeds payable and received by Seller with respect to such casualty (which shall then be repaired or not at City's option and cost), the cash portion of the Purchase Price shall be reduced by an amount equal to any deductible under Seller's insurance, and the parties shall proceed to the Close of Escrow pursuant to the terms hereof.

20. Post-Closing Remedies. Subject to Section 21 below, from and after the Close of Escrow, each party shall have the right to pursue its actual damages against the other party (a) for a breach of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement that survives Close of Escrow, and (b) for a breach of any representation or warranty made by the other party in this Agreement. Subject to Section 21 below, the obligations described this Section 20 shall survive Closing and any termination of this Agreement. In no event shall either party be liable for, and each party expressly and unconditionally waives any right to recover from the other party any speculative, consequential or punitive damages.

21. Survival. Each of the Seller’s and City’s respective representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or in the documents to be executed and delivered by Seller hereunder by Close of Escrow (collectively, the "Surviving Provisions") shall survive the Close of Escrow for a period of twelve (12) months (the "Survival Period"). No claim for a breach of any of the Surviving Provisions shall be actionable or payable: (a) unless the valid claims for all such breaches collectively aggregate more than $50,000.00, (b) unless written notice containing a description of the specific nature of such breach shall have been given by City or Seller to the other prior to the expiration of the Survival Period, and (c) unless an action shall have been filed by City or Seller and served upon the other within sixty (60) days after expiration of the Survival Period. Furthermore, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any related documents, following the Close of Escrow, Seller's liability for breach of any Surviving Provisions or any other covenants or obligations hereunder, shall not exceed the sum of $1,000,000.00. The provisions of this Section 21 shall survive Close of Escrow.

Except as to E-Mail notice, notice shall be deemed to have been given upon the date of delivery (or the date of refusal to accept delivery, as the case may be) or at such other address as either party may from time to time specify in writing to the other in the manner aforesaid.

Unlocking the Economic Impact of the Sacramento Railyards 04 Unlocking the Economic Impact of the Sacramento Railyards 05 INTRODUCTION
FOR OVER 150 YEARS, the Sacramento Railyards symbolized innovation and connectivity as the transcontinental railroad’s western terminus . At its heart was the Central Shops, a bustling industrial complex where skilled artisans crafted and maintained Southern Pacific railcars within iconic buildings like the Paint Shop, Boiler Shop, and Rolling Shop . While operations ceased by the end of the 20th century, the 244-acre site retains a rich legacy, with eight preserved industrial buildings offering a unique opportunity for adaptive reuse and revitalization .

Today, the Railyards is poised for transformation into one of the largest urban infill projects in the United States . Comparable in scale to downtown Sacramento, the redevelopment will introduce housing, commercial hubs, green spaces, and landmarks like Kaiser Permanente’s medical campus, a soccer stadium, and a live entertainment venue . By preserving the Central Shops’ architecture and integrating sustainable urban design, the project will honor its heritage while fostering creativity and connectivity .

The Potential of the
Sacramento Railyards
A Transformational Project
for Sacramento’s Next Century
Guided by transit-oriented development and environmental stewardship, the Railyards will revitalize downtown Sacramento into a cultural, commercial, and community hub of the growing metropolitan area, aligning with the Sacramento Area Council of Governments’ Blueprint for compact development, sustainability, and connectivity . The project will seamlessly integrate downtown, the River District, and surrounding neighborhoods while promoting walkability, transit- oriented design, and sustainable urban practices . By transforming historic assets into cultural and commercial hubs, the Railyards will celebrate Sacramento’s industrial heritage while fostering economic activation, mobility, and environmental resilience .

At completion, the Railyards will be a marquee project for the City of Sacramento, State of California and a national model for urban Brownfield redevelopment . Its adaptive reuse of historic structures, public space investments, and its integrated mix of housing, commercial hubs and entertainment venues will help position Sacramento as a leader in sustainable urban growth, attracting businesses, residents, and visitors .

This document was prepared by Stantec to explore the projected economic impacts of the Sacramento Railyards redevelopment, detailing the potential of projects proposed as part of the Master Plan alongside projected long-term benefits across employment growth, fiscal revenues, business expansion, and infrastructure investments. These insights are based on the Economic Impact Analysis (EIA), a comprehensive study quantifying projected impacts across sectors prepared by Economic and Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS).

Unlocking the Economic Impact of the Sacramento Railyards 06 Driving Principles
of the Railyards
Transformation
1 RE-ESTABLISH DOWNTOWN AS
SACRAMENTO’S CULTURAL,

COMMERCIAL AND COMMUNITY HUB
Downtown Sacramento, once the heart of the region
from the Gold Rush to its designation as California’s
capital, saw its vitality diminished by suburban
sprawl and decentralization in the late 20th century .

The 2007 Railyards Specific Plan sparked a
resurgence with developments such as the Golden 1
Center and Downtown Commons, the 700 block of K
Street, and urban mixed-use projects along the 16th
Street corridor, bringing new housing, businesses
and cultural energy to the area . The Railyards will
build upon this momentum, introducing public
spaces, cultural destinations, and economic
investments that will reinforce downtown’s role as
the region’s premier destination for cultural and
community engagement .
2 REINFORCE DOWNTOWN AS A

REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION HUB
The Railyards will strengthen
Sacramento’s role as a critical multimodal
transportation nexus . Anchored by the
Sacramento Intermodal Transportation
Facility (SITF), the district will integrate light
rail, passenger rail, freight rail, bus services,
and future high-speed rail, ensuring seamless
connectivity across the region . Strategic
street extensions and improved transit
corridors will expand circulation and provide
non-motorized connections to key landmarks,
reinforcing the city’s commitment to
sustainable, multimodal transportation .
3 REINFORCE DOWNTOWN AS A MAJOR EMPLOYMENT CENTER
Despite being the region’s principal employment hub, downtown Sacramento currently captures only around a third of the region’s Class A office market . The Railyards redevelopment aims to strengthen downtown’s competitive position by fostering employment growth in industries such as healthcare, business services hospitality, and entertainment . The introduction of high-density office space, mixed-use developments, and district-wide economic investments will generate thousands of new jobs, ensuring downtown remains a vibrant business hub .

Unlocking the Economic Impact of the Sacramento Railyards 07 DRIVING PRINCIPLES
4 REINFORCE DOWNTOWN AS A PLACE TO LIVE
The Railyards’ development of 6–10k housing units,
including up to 600 affordable homes, will create a
diverse residential mix to accommodate varied income levels and lifestyles . Medium- to high-density residential areas will incorporate street-level retail and commercial uses, fostering a vibrant, walkable environment . With world-class amenities and 30+ acres of parks and open spaces, the Railyards will provide a dynamic live-work-play environment, reinforcing downtown as a thriving and inclusive place .
6 PRESERVE THE AREA’S

HISTORIC AND CULTURAL

RESOURCES
A defining principle of the Railyards
transformation is preserving
Sacramento’s industrial heritage,
particularly through the rehabilitation
of the Sacramento Valley Station and
Central Shops complex . Historic
structures will be reimagined as
cultural and commercial anchors,
offering retail, dining, and public
spaces that honor the city’s rich rail
history while energizing downtown .
5 COMPLETE THE CENTRAL CITY’S CIRCULATION SYSTEM
The Railyards spans an area equivalent to 60 city blocks, with only 7th Street currently providing north-south connectivity . As a result, major corridors like 12th and 16th Streets experience congestion as they route traffic through neighborhoods such as Alkali Flat . The redevelopment will create new connections between the Central City, the River District, and Railyards Boulevard and increase connectivity to West Sacramento and Natomas .

Sacramento’s expanded circulation system will significantly improve traffic distribution while ensuring pedestrian and bicycle-friendly accessibility throughout downtown .
7 CREATE AN ATTRACTIVE AND

DISTINCTIVE URBAN PLACE
The project’s design extends Central
City’s grid system into the Railyards, seamlessly
connecting a previously isolated industrial site
to surrounding neighborhoods and the River
District . The design imagines pedestrian-friendly
streetscapes with wide sidewalks, active
ground-floor uses, well-designed open spaces,
and quality building materials that reflect
Sacramento’s character . Through thoughtful
placemaking and strategic investments, the
redevelopment will elevate Sacramento’s identity
as a dynamic and connected urban center .

Unlocking the Economic Impact of the Sacramento Railyards 08 Core Projects

TO DATE THIS TRANSFORMATIVE

REDEVELOPMENT HAS ALREADY

ACHIEVED SIGNIFICANT MILESTONES,
including the nearing completion of the
Sacramento Courthouse, construction of
Kaiser Permanente’s 18-acre medical
campus, and ongoing investments in the
Sacramento Republic FC Soccer Stadium
and the Paint Shop entertainment venue .

The Wong Center senior affordable housing
project, with 150 units, and
The AJ residential complex, offering 345
units (including 69 affordable units), are
already complete .

Inspired by the guiding principles shaping
the Sacramento Railyards transformation,
additional strategic moves and key

Unlocking the Economic Impact of the Sacramento Railyards 23 Financing the
Transformation
The Role of EIFD in Unlocking
the Railyards’ Potential
What is the EIFD?
The Sacramento Railyards is the city’s most ambitious urban redevelopment project, with transformative milestones already achieved . Realizing the full potential of the Railyards redevelopment requires strategic and sustainable financing mechanisms that can ensure long-term success while
maintaining fiscal responsibility . At the core of the Railyards’ financial strategy, the Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District (EIFD) is a critical tool that enables Sacramento to fund essential public infrastructure improvements at the scale required for this redevelopment without burdening taxpayers with new levies .

Initially established as the Stadium Area EIFD, the EIFD is now poised for expansion to encompass the entire 244-acre
Railyards Specific Plan Area . This expansion is essential to fully realize the vision of a vibrant, connected urban district .

The EIFD captures a portion of future property tax growth within the district, known as “tax increment”, and reinvests it into funding current public infrastructure needs . This approach allows investment in vital projects without increasing property taxes or imposing additional financial burdens on residents .

For large-scale developments like the Railyards, EIFDs provide the flexibility to address critical public infrastructure such as transit facilities, utility systems, housing affordability, and expansive public spaces . The funding facilitated by EIFDs creates a foundation for a cohesive, connected community that blends cultural, residential, and commercial uses seamlessly .

Unlocking the Economic Impact of the Sacramento Railyards 24 FINANCING THE TRANSFORMATION
Why EIFD
Expansion Matters
Why an EIFD is Essential
for the Railyards
Expanding the EIFD beyond the Stadium Area EIFD to encompass the entire 244-acre Railyards Specific Plan Area strengthens its ability to fund essential improvements across the entire site . Doing so will divide the site into two sections known as “Railyards East”, retaining the original boundaries, and “Railyards West”, comprising the new additions . This expanded framework captures incremental property tax revenues to fund essential improvements across the entire site . The expanded framework will support:

TRANSIT CONNECTIVITY ,
including upgrades to the
Sacramento Intermodal
Transportation Facility, improving
mobility and accessibility .

ROADWAY & CIRCULATION
IMPROVEMENTS, including
enhancing connections between
downtown Sacramento and
neighboring districts .

AFFORDABLE HOUSING
INITIATIVES, supporting diverse
income levels including up to 600
affordable units, reinforcing
inclusive urban growth .

PUBLIC SPACES &
SUSTAINABILITY , investing in
parks, plazas, and green spaces to
foster community connectivity and
recreational opportunities .

By leveraging future revenues, the EIFD reduces upfront financial barriers, ensures long-term project feasibility, and drives Sacramento’s most transformative redevelopment forward .

The Railyards’ success depends on these major upfront
infrastructure investments, including roads, public transit connections, utilities, and site remediation . Traditional municipal funding methods, such as general obligation bonds or direct appropriations, are often insufficient for projects of this scale .

The EIFD provides an alternative approach that aligns with Sacramento’s vision for equitable, sustainable growth by:

LEVERAGING FUTURE TAX INCREMENT REVENUES
instead of requiring new taxes .

FUNDING ESSENTIAL INFRASTRUCTURE
at the district level, ensuring long-term viability .

REDUCING IMMEDIATE FISCAL PRESSURES on the city,
allowing Sacramento to allocate existing funds to other priorities .

Unlocking the Economic Impact of the Sacramento Railyards 30 Atlanta Beltline

ATLANTA, GEORGIA

SCOPE & DEVELOPMENT TIMELINE
A 22-mile multi-use trail and transit corridor encircling downtown Atlanta, initiated in the early 2000s and still undergoing phased development .

CORE GOALS & URBAN CHALLENGES
The Atlanta Beltline was designed to improve mobility, spur economic development, and connect 45 neighborhoods through an integrated network of trails, transit, and parks . The challenge was balancing urban revitalization with affordability, ensuring that development did not displace existing communities while fostering long-term investment and growth .

FUNDING & FINANCING MECHANISMS
The project was funded through a Tax Allocation District (TAD), Atlanta’s equivalent of Tax Increment Financing (TIF), which reinvests future property tax growth into infrastructure . Federal grants, private donations, and a Special Service District (SSD) further supplemented funding gaps, ensuring project continuity and expansion .

OUTCOMES & LESSONS LEARNED
The Beltline has generated over $7 billion in private investment, creating thousands of jobs while significantly expanding green space and transit infrastructure . However, affordability and displacement concerns remain key challenges, highlighting the need for proactive housing policies to maintain inclusive growth .

APPLICABILITY TO SACRAMENTO’S RAIL YARDS
Sacramento’s Railyards redevelopment similarly seeks to integrate transit, public spaces, and mixed-use development into a cohesive urban framework . Lessons from the Beltline emphasize the importance of leveraging tax increment financing (EIFD) for infrastructure, ensuring phased implementation aligns with long-term planning, and balancing revitalization with housing affordability to prevent displacement .

Subject: Railyards Economic Impact Analysis
Date: May 23, 2025

Economic and Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS) has been retained by the Sacramento Republic Football Club (SRFC) and
Downtown Railyard Ventures (DRV) to estimate the economic impact of the proposed Railyards development, a planned mixed-use urban development adjacent to Downtown
Sacramento.

Development of the eastern portion of the Railyards is being led by SRFC. The eastern portion of the Railyards will include a new SRFC stadium, along with several mixed use/residential towers over podium parking and commercial space.

Development of the western portion of the Railyards is being led by DRV. The western portion of the Railyards will include the Sacramento Valley Station, a Kaiser Permanente hospital plus associated buildings, a retail-dining destination within historic railyard structures, multifamily residential, affordable residential, office and hotel uses.

This memorandum displays the economic impact analysis for the eastern and western portions separately, as well as for the combined Railyards development overall.

Railyards Economic Impacts
May 23, 2025
Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS) 2
Summary of Findings
Economic impacts include ongoing annual impacts from the operation of the planned development with the Railyards (modeled at buildout) and the one-time impacts from construction of the Railyards. The ongoing and one-time economic impacts are presented separately.

The direct activity occurring at Railyards (both the ongoing activity after completion and one-time construction activity) will generate additional economic activity throughout the local economy, resulting in the multiplier effects described below.

Overview of Economic Multiplier Effects
The direct economic activity in Railyards will generate additional indirect economic effects in the surrounding region through business-to-business activities.

In addition, on-site employees and households residing in the residential components will generate induced economic activity in the surrounding region through household spending. For this study, the larger region analyzed for economic multiplier effects is Sacramento County.

Figure 1 summarizes the definition of direct, indirect, and induced economic multiplier effects.

One-Time Impacts from Construction
Construction of Railyards is estimated to support a total of about 39,000 annual jobs1 within Sacramento County, as detailed in Table 3. About 26,000 of the annual jobs would be directly supported by on-site construction activity (see Table 4), while the remainder would result from related business-to-business spending and household spending of the wages earned throughout the area. The total economic output from Railyards construction is $8.2 billion.

Table 3 One-Time Economic Impact Summary

As illustrated in Figure 5 though Figure 7 below, the larger footprint of Railyards West is expected to generate a significant share of the estimated economic impact from construction.

1 Economic impact modeling estimates employment over a one-year timeframe, with each job supported during the construction phase equaling one year of employment. Therefore, if the total construction period lasts 5 years, the average number of jobs in any given year would be the total divided by 5 (20% of the total).
