Anton Development Company has filed permits for a three-story affordable workforce housing infill in the heart of the water-surrounded town of Discovery Bay in eastern Contra Costa County. The proposal hopes to bring new housing for moderate-income households across six vacant acres next to the shopping and community center.
Anton’s 1700 Discovery Bay Boulevard proposal will create five residential structures yielding 87,360 square feet. Apartment types will vary, with 84 one-bedrooms, 42 two-bedrooms, and 44 three-bedrooms. Future tenants will get access to a central pool deck, playground, outdoor dining space, and a central 8,100-square-foot clubhouse. Parking will be included for 303 cars, with surface parking covering most of the six-acre parcel.
Architecture Design Collaborative is responsible for the project design. Details about the aesthetics have yet to be shared, though the firm’s portfolio shows the team works with familiar contemporary exterior cladding across wood-frame structures.

The project site is located along Discovery Bay Boulevard between Sand Point Road and the Discovery Bay Shopping Center. The development is best recognized for its serpentine suburban sprawl extending around the man-made reservoir funneled off the nearby Old River.
The estimated cost and timeline for construction have yet to be shared. The Press covered the project in June 2022. At the time, staff writers shared that “Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors is exploring changing the zoning for the vacant lot on the corner of Sand Point Road and Discovery Bay Boulevard despite those strong objections” from some Discovery Bay leaders and residents.
