West Elm, the trendy home furnishing retailers has signed a 10,992 square feet lease on the ground floor of the Ice Shops, at R & 16th Streets, set to open in mid 2018. West Elm is focused on the intersection of modern design, affordability and community. Everything the company sells — from sofas and tables to bedding and vases—is made with one goal in mind: to help its customers express their personal style at home and in the world.

“Not only is West Elm a great fit for Ice Blocks and all the housing projects under construction in this neighborhood,” Ice Blocks developer Mike Heller said, “it’s also a huge win for Sacramento in general. Along with Urban Outfitters coming to (Downtown Commons), this marks the beginning of a new era of shopping on the grid.”
