Planning permits have been approved for the six-story housing proposal at 2610 International Boulevard in the Fruitvale neighborhood of Oakland. The development would add just over a hundred units of below-market-rate apartments less than a mile from the Fruitvale BART Station. The Unity Council, a prolific local affordable housing developer, is responsible for the application.

Construction is now underway for the second phase of the Midway Village development by Cow Palace in Daly City, San Mateo County. The affordable housing team celebrated the groundbreaking for Midway Village 2 earlier this month, at the same event as the ribbon cutting for Midway Village I. Once complete, the two structures will bring 260 apartments to the city. MidPen Housing is the project developer.
A new affordable housing development was approved at 920 Shasta Street in Redwood City. The project is linked to the development of a six-story commercial office building at 901 El Camino Real. In the office building application, developers agreed to donate the property to Abode communities as part of a plan to meet the city’s low-income housing requirements for new development. Both the office building and affordable housing complex were approved in the same meeting before the city council last month.
One of Adobe Communities’s latest projects, Sheldon Farms North, is located at 8851 Bruceville Road in Elk Grove, Sacramento County.
