Demolition permits have been issued for the approved affordable senior housing development at 3135 San Pablo Avenue in West Oakland, Alameda County. The plans would replace a single-story commercial structure with a six-story project. Satellite Affordable Housing Associates and Saint Mary’s Center are jointly responsible for the project.

The six-story structure will produce 73 units for low-income seniors aged 55 and older. The complex will include 55 studios and 17 one-bedrooms. St. Mary’s Center will provide comprehensive supportive services to help residents maintain well-being through case management, referrals to healthcare, and community-building activities.
Leddy Maytum Stacy Architects is responsible for the design. Updated illustrations show a five-over-one podium-style complex wrapped in grey metap panels and an exposed concrete base. Oakland-based Hood Design Studio will be the landscape architect, and Luk & Associates is the project’s civil engineer.

The estimated 0.11-acre property is located along San Pablo Avenue between 30th Street and 32nd Street. The site is a block away from the historic California Hotel, where EBALDC is looking to start construction soon on another six-story affordable development.
The project has been awarded around $32 million in pre-construction funding from the City and State between 2022 and 2025. According to a project update shared by the development team in February this year, construction is expected to start as early as October, with completion estimated by late 2028.
