Welcome to Sacramento: A City of Growth, Diversity, and Opportunity

The City of Sacramento stands at the intersection of innovation, inclusivity, and long-term growth. As the capital of the world’s fifth-largest economy, the city is emerging as one of California’s most dynamic markets for retail, hospitality, and mixed-use development. With a population exceeding 525,000 and a regional market of over 2.6 million, Sacramento offers an ideal environment for businesses seeking a foothold in a fast-growing, strategically located urban center.

Our diverse consumer base is younger and more diverse than the national average, with rising household incomes and a strong demand for experiential retail, food and beverage, and hospitality. With leading colleges and universities in the market, a robust state government workforce, and increasing levels of private-sector investment, Sacramento’s daytime and weekend activity is fueling sustained retail and visitor demand.

Whether you’re evaluating a new concept, expanding your footprint, or reimagining your presence in Northern California, Sacramento offers the access, talent, and support to make your investment successful. From Downtown and Midtown to the region’s major retail hubs and growing commercial corridors, the city invites you to explore the opportunities - and to connect with us at ICSC Las Vegas to learn more.
