Last week the new affordable development at 400 China Basin Street held a ribbon cutting ceremony for its completion. Construction has started for the eight-story multiunit complex in 2023, but delays pushed its opening date back from initial projections.
The plans for a church to residential conversion were recently approved by the City of Oakland, taking a major step forward in a long-awaited affordable housing project. The 1433 12th Avenue site is already home to the 1887-built Brooklyn Presbyterian Church and Parish Hall, which is to be converted and incorporated into the project. Brooklyn Arms Apartments is listed as the project owner, with Strive Wealth Builders acting as a project sponsor.
The proposed multifamily and commercial development at 990 34th Street took a major step forward, with plans approved by the City of Oakland. The existing West Oakland property is to be demolished and prepared for the construction of a six-story 78-unit building designed by Gunkel Architecture.
New documents were posted for the Arbor Building, part of the site development at 255 West Julian Street in San Jose. The Downtown site was part of an original proposal to construct a 14-story office building with ground-floor retail space. However, in 2024, SF YIMBY reported on a shift in project plans to create an 18-story mixed-use building.
Two complimentary affordable developments are now completed on adjacent sites at 237 and 253 Race Street in San Jose’s Sunol-Midtown neighborhood. The project entitled Belliarmo Place opened doors to 116 affordable units last fall. Meanwhile, the project entitled Alvarado Park opened 90 senior affordable housing units just last week. Both buildings were developed by the Santa Clara Housing Authority with The John Stewart Company stepping in as the property managers.
