DEVELOPMENTS

918

Located in the heart of Downtown Bakersfield’s Eastchester, within walking distance from 17th Place Townhomes and Cafe Smitten, we continue to build synergy as we capitalize on the momentum in this most promising pocket of downtown.

Fashioned to fit in a neighborhood of historic print shops, 918 is a new concept in luxury living for Bakersfield. An homage to the makers and creators that worked to build proud printing houses here, this project is all about reimagining our personal, collective, and citywide identities to meet the times.

With an industrial-cool vibe, we refer to the area as Printer’s Row (a northern corner of Eastchester). It was once filled with warehouses and storefronts that housed publishing shops and printing studios.

Down to every last detail, 918 reflects and respects the heritage of this neighborhood. The numbers in its name and address, 9 - 1 - 8, are a reference to the minimum height of letters for printing when using a letterpress. In theory, letters that are “type high” or at least 0.918 inches can be printed with a press.

We love this reference because, at Sage Equities, we believe that our development projects, like our city, are limited only by the height of our collective aspirations. Like The Cue, 918 will offer high-end finishes and a boutique hotel vibe with an elevator and interior corridors, central green space for residents, a roof terrace, and close proximity to employment, commercial and recreational amenities downtown.

The Cue
