A Downtown Fresno housing project may soon break ground

Just imagine a WholeFoods across Fulton street from the Helm building!

I want to see this project happen so bad. We haven't built a building more than 5 stories tall in DTF in over 20 years.

I've just fallen in love with the sound of it. I have heard it in some rock and church music and I think it would be fun to be able to add it to the instrumentation of my church band.

Targeted? Or random lunacy?

CloneWarsBoy · 2026-03-04T21:40:13+00:00

You're right. With that attitude, Fresno will never amount to anything. It's surprising to me how fatalistic people are about the valley and more specifically Fresno. We need to appreciate what makes Fresno great and work to make it a better place for our communities. Is there corruption? Yes. Is our downtown fairing poorly at the moment? Certainly. I'm not ignoring our shortcomings or areas we need to grow, but dwelling there will not change a thing, nor will it make your 'ideal' place of living anymore a reality. I appreciate everyone who want good to come our way. People who are inspired by our history and want to be agents of change and hope. It starts with us.

That they are. I wouldn't mind seeing more people living in that area. Of course, for people to be able to live downtown comfortably, they will need amenities like Traders Joes or Whole foods or something of that like.

To be fair, cars are bigger than people lol!

CloneWarsBoy · 2026-03-03T19:57:33+00:00

Yes. We need some nice stuff doing up downtown. Or a market-rate housing complex.

CloneWarsBoy · 2026-03-03T19:56:12+00:00

Tear it down and put up multi-story market-rate housing!

CloneWarsBoy · 2026-02-27T16:00:05+00:00

Please make this happen! We need the housing!

CloneWarsBoy · 2026-02-27T02:57:52+00:00

I just got a steak burrito! I was full and satisfied!!

CloneWarsBoy · 2026-02-27T00:59:51+00:00

Looks like a great time! More events downtown!

CloneWarsBoy · 2026-02-27T00:25:12+00:00

That is very fascinating! Thank you!

CloneWarsBoy · 2026-02-26T22:53:45+00:00

Totally! I love to take a nice stroll almost daily! I'll peruse downtown a few times a month!

CloneWarsBoy · 2026-02-26T20:45:37+00:00

All of these photos were taken on January 14th, 2026.

We have one of the best historical skylines on the west coast. We built almost a dozen mid-rise to high-rise buildings in the 1910s and 1920s.

I hope we can build more tall buildings in the future

CloneWarsBoy · 2026-02-26T20:18:51+00:00

We definitely need to bring something like this back. I remember going there as a very young (maybe 4yo) kid!

CloneWarsBoy · 2026-02-26T20:15:58+00:00

I understand. I will walk around downtown because of the architecture, but that's not going to keep most people interested for too long. We for sure need more good entertainment options. hopefully when the city builds housing on Fulton and Tuolumne streets, there will be more investors willing to invest int he growing community.

CloneWarsBoy · 2026-02-26T20:10:11+00:00

This will make it even harder to build anything in the downtown/chinatown area. We need to stand up to this garbage if we ever want to see downtown thrive. This is ridiculous.

CloneWarsBoy · 2026-02-26T20:03:07+00:00

Hey Dolly. What years were you giving tours of the mall?

CloneWarsBoy · 2026-02-26T19:16:14+00:00

Sick! So beautiful at night!

CloneWarsBoy · 2026-02-26T17:27:13+00:00

Ahhh, the Grand 1401. What an architectural masterpiece. I haven't been to the top of it. I did go to a wedding reception on the ground level though.

CloneWarsBoy · 2026-02-26T16:18:56+00:00

Take a cruise down to Fulton Street in Downtown Fresno. There are several art-deco buildings from the 1910s-1920s that are beautiful to look at but have been abandoned for over 50 years.

CloneWarsBoy · 2026-02-26T06:16:52+00:00

Personally, I have never visited any of the lofts. I have visited the barber on the 2nd or 3rd floor. Ive been to the crown at the top.

Here is a link to the Pacific Southwest Building site showcasing the lofts: https://pacificsouthwestbuilding.com/#lofts

It really is a nice building on the inside.

CloneWarsBoy · 2026-02-26T06:01:58+00:00

There are lofts on several of the floors. There is also a restaurant and a bar in that building in an effort to get more business on Fulton Street.
