CAM Billing Considerations

  • State government anchors significant office demand but with stable/declining headcount
  • Prop 13 basis disparities between state-owned and private properties
  • Wildfire smoke/air quality concerns emerging as building operations issue
  • Lower cost alternative to Bay Area driving some corporate relocation
  • Flood risk (Sacramento River confluence) affects insurance structures

Market Context

Sacramento's state capital role provides stable but non-growing office demand. As a lower-cost Bay Area alternative, it attracts corporate relocations where tenants are particularly cost-sensitive to CAM charges.
