The transit-oriented neighborhood is continuing to grow across from the West Dublin BART Station in Dublin, Alameda County. Construction has officially started on the latest addition, a new affordable senior housing complex at 7750 Saint Patrick Way, with over a hundred homes. Eden Housing is the project developer working in collaboration with the City of Dublin.

The planned housing complex is expected to open with 113 units, including 55 studios, 57 one-bedrooms, and one market-rate manager’s unit. The 112 affordable housing units will be restricted as affordable to seniors earning between 20% and 50% of the area’s median income. This includes 34 units reserved for formerly homeless individuals with associated supportive services. Residential amenities will include a community garden, open terraces, pet play areas, a lounge, and on-site laundry.
BAR Architects & Interiors is responsible for the design. The overall design has not shifted since our initial coverage of the project in 2021. The podium-style design features a familiar approach to facade articulation to visually break up the massing. The I-shaped floor plan wraps around a large surface parking lot.

The roughly 1.3-acre property is located along Saint Patrick Way and Regional Street. Future residents will be close to the West Dublin BART Station, the Dublin Retail Center, and several other strip malls.
James E. Roberts Obayashi Corporation is the general contractor. Construction is expected to last around two years, with completion as early as 2027.

Looks like a very tired retail building was demolished for this. There’s so much low quality single story retail and commercial office space around the Bay Area – a tired building that’s possibly vacant, surrounded by a parking lot. It’s everywhere. No need for urban sprawl, just keep demolishing and replacing.
Dang, it was already hard enough to get a lane at Earl Anthony’s Bowl. These dang seniors are taking my bowling time! Lol
