The Blue Diamond plant site has been a part of Sacramento for over a century, and we are grateful for the opportunity to build on that legacy in a way that will serve the community for many years to come. —Katherine Bardis-Miry of Bardis & Miry Development
Bay Miry added “We are still in the preliminary stages, and all redevelopment options remain on the table as we thoroughly evaluate the site. Our initial vision includes a walkable, mixed-use community that feels authentic to Sacramento while delivering lasting economic and social value.” As part of the agreement, Blue Diamond has secured a three-year leaseback, ensuring corporate headquarters remain on the campus until at least April 2030. Blue Diamond will retain about 19 acres for inshell almond processing, and its corporate headquarters will remain in Sacramento. The cooperative is represented by Ken Turton of Turton Commercial Real Estate in the transaction.
The city of Sacramento has expressed strong enthusiasm for the development. Mayor Kevin McCarty and Councilmember Phil Pluckebaum, whose district includes the site, have also been key champions. Both have strongly supported the project for its potential to advance Sacramento’s housing goals while honoring Blue Diamond ’s legacy. Blue Diamond thanked both leaders for their partnership. With support from city, county, and state partners, the project can create a lasting Sacramento legacy that reflects its long investment in the community.
