Built on the site of a former National Guard armory, Rivo brings 124 affordable apartment homes to North Sacramento's Woodlake neighborhood, with direct access to the Arden/Del Paso light rail station right next door.

GT Studios led both the architecture and interior design, giving the five-story building a bold, contemporary take on Art Deco detailing that sets it apart from typical affordable housing. Units range from one to three bedrooms and are affordable to households earning between 25 and 60 percent of the area median income, with a quarter of the units reserved for individuals and families at risk of homelessness. Residents share an outdoor courtyard, two community rooms, and a co-working space, all just steps from transit, Woodlake Park, and the Del Paso Boulevard corridor.

"Rivo's contemporary apartments, abundant amenities, and resident services offer comfort, stability, and support to a wide range of households." Light rail and bus service sit "literally at their doorstep." -Ken Lombard, President and CEO, BRIDGE Housing
Rivo reinterprets Art Deco geometry for a new generation of affordable housing, proving that budget-conscious design can still be bold, confident, and full of character.
