Community members gathered last week to celebrate the official groundbreaking ceremony of Colibri Commons, a new affordable housing complex rising at 965 Weeks Street in East Palo Alto, San Mateo County. The project is a joint development by EPACANDO and MidPen Housing to create 136 homes on city-owned land. Residents are expected to move in as early as next year.

Just over a year after the official groundbreaking ceremony, crews have topped out the five-story affordable educator housing development at 1360 43rd Avenue in San Francisco’s Sunset District.
