Permits have been filed for the five-story affordable senior project at 2500 76th Avenue in Eastmont, Oakland. Eden Housing is responsible for the application, which will bring 90 units to the currently vacant lot. Once complete, apartments will be made affordable to lower-income households.
The 77th and Bancroft Affordable Housing project, as the team describes it, will rise 68 feet tall, including approximately 7,000 square feet of communal open space. The application invokes Senate Bill 35 to streamline the approval process, with the State Density Bonus to achieve higher residential capacity. Preliminary permits were filed in August of last year.
The project architect has yet to be shared. The application writes that the structure will facilitate a walkable community with interconnected yards. Backyard outdoor space will be featured on the second floor, with a connection to the first-floor courtyard. The open space will include seasonal gardens. The team is looking to “incorporate public art reflecting local culture and history” visible to the public.
California Affordable Housing Initiatives is listed as the property owner. CAHI is an Oakland-based non-profit responsible for administering project-based Section 8 vouchers.
The roughly 0.75-acre property is located along Bancroft Avenue between 76th and 77th Street. The site is a couple blocks away from Arroyo Viejo Recreation Center, and four blocks from the Eastment Town Center. The estimated cost and timeline for construction have yet to be shared.
