Construction Underway for Affordable Senior Housing in San Ramon

Construction is underway for Aspen Wood, an entirely affordable senior housing project on the southern border of San Ramon, Contra Costa County. The project will create 123 new homes at 9000 Alcosta Boulevard, close to the Walmart-anchored Country Club Village shopping center. Standard Communities and Housing On Merit are jointly responsible for the development.

The four-story complex will yield around 128,000 square feet, with 42 studios and 81 one-bedrooms. Of the 123 units, 13 will be designated as affordable to households earning about 30% of the Area median Income, 13 units for 50% AMI households, and 96 units for 60% AMI units. One apartment will be provided as the manager’s unit. Residential amenities include a community room, a recreation deck, a fitness center, and a pet spa.

LCA Architects is responsible for the design. New illustrations show an articulated facade with an assortment of blocky masses with a palette of terracotta red, grey, and white conforming to the irregularly-shaped 1.4-acre parcel.

The property is located along Alcosta Boulevard, between Kimball Avenue and Village Parkway, and close to the Richard Fahey Village Green Park. Next to the park is the Country Club Village strip mall, occupied by a Walmart, Starbucks, and other retail shops.

Initial plans for affordable senior housing at 9000 Alcosta Boulevard were floated by the city with BRIDGE Housing in early 2010. Around $52 million of private and public construction financing has been provided from Citibank, San Ramon Affordable Housing Trust, Tax Credit Equity, and the deferred developer fee.

Deacon is responsible for the construction. Completion is expected as early as January next year.
