A little over a week ago, the new affordable housing project called Kiku Crossing celebrated its Grand Opening. The project, located at 400 East 5th Avenue in San Mateo was developed by MidPen as a transit oriented apartment complex in the central area of San Mateo. The City of San Mateo and County of San Mateo were close partners to help facilitate the project’s development.
The official groundbreaking ceremony was held yesterday morning by MidPen Housing to celebrate the construction of 167 units of affordable housing at 750 Golden Gate Avenue and 850 Turk Street in San Francisco’s Fillmore District. The ceremony was held at 750 Golden Gate Avenue, where the first floor of concrete is already complete. One block away, demolition work is nearly complete at 850 Turk Street.
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.

The city plans to build a minimum of 345 units of affordable housing spread across the three sites but has not restricted the addition of more units. The program plans to integrate affordable housing options into the high-resource downtown area.
