Welcome to 1530 J Street, an iconic Midtown Sacramento address located at the crossroads of culture, commerce, and community. Situated at the corner of 16th & J—one of the city’s most trafficked and visible intersections—this ground-floor retail space anchors the historic Elliott Building in the heart of Sacramento’s Theater District.
Formerly home to PF Chang’s for over two decades, the space is now being reintroduced as a rare opportunity for a new generation of restaurateurs, chefs, and retail visionaries. With high ceilings, two spacious patios, a partial kitchen buildout, and robust utility infrastructure in place, the property is perfectly suited for food-and-beverage or flagship retail use.
But what truly sets this opportunity apart is the landlord’s commitment to supporting the right operator.
Heller Pacific and the property group are offering:
Rents: Negotiable rental rates
TI Allowance: A substantial Tenant Improvement (TI) package to offset construction costs
Second-generation restaurant infrastructure, including:
10,000-gallon in-ground grease interceptor
Existing hood shaft
Multiple floor sinks & drains
1200 Amp electrical panel
6500 CFH 2psi gas line
All new HVAC, including kitchen exhaust
Exterior signage opportunities at a premier intersection

Located just steps from the Golden 1 Center, the SAFE Credit Union Performing Arts Center, the Convention Center, and the Memorial Auditorium—this property is surrounded by over 2.8 million annual visitors and a fast-growing residential population, with 1,400+ apartment units within walking distance and more on the way.
This is more than a lease—it’s an invitation to build something lasting in one of Sacramento’s most dynamic corridors. Whether you’re a chef with a story to tell or a brand ready for its flagship, 1530 J Street offers the visibility, infrastructure, and support to bring your vision to life.
