Recently shared images by an SFYIMBY tipster show that facade installation has started for Verandah at Valley Oaks, a residential town-home project on the outskirts of Novato in Marin County. The development will build over four acres at 7711 Redwood Boulevard, adding 80 new homes to the housing market. Landsea Homes is responsible for the development.
Construction has transformed four acres, with the building rising three floors and a roof deck to a height of 44 feet. Of the 80 for-sale units, 72 will be three bedrooms, and eight will be two bedrooms. Unit sizes will range between 1,100 and 1,770 square feet each. A total of 16 will also be sold as affordable housing through the City of Novato’s housing program.
Parking is included for 180 vehicles.
KTGY Architecture + Planning is listed as responsible for the design. Facade materials include stucco, fiber cement lap siding and trim, and glass railing along the rooftop terraces. Gordon Huether has also been selected to design a public art installation off Redwood Boulevard.
According to the Landsea Homes website, prices for the homes will range between $863,000 to $888,630. The firm writes of Verandah, “this brand new community of three-story attached townhomes is bringing a one-of-a-kind opportunity to live in an incredible destination bordering the San Pablo Bay.”
The project is rising along Redwood Boulevard, parallel with 101. Residents will be located between Wood Hollow Drive and the distinctive former Birkenstocks building, with parabolic triangular eves. The Novato San Marin Sonoma Marin train station is less than 15 minutes away by foot. Downtown Novato, with a myriad of shops, restaurants, and grocery stores, is five minutes away by car.
Landsea Homes is responsible for the project, jointly developing with Campus Property. Carlson Barbee & Gibson is the civil engineer, and Jett Landscape Architecture is responsible for designing the open area.
Move-ins are expected in the early half of this year.
