New affordable housing opened last week at 22447 Ruby Street in Castro Valley, Alameda County. The complex, named Crescent Grove, has brought 72 units to a residential neighborhood. Eden Housing, the project developer, held the official grand opening ceremony late last week.
A new plan brought by LTM Group has proposed the division of a large parcel into five lots at 1622 Fernside Boulevard, Alameda. The proposal will leave the front half of the existing lot associated with the previously constructed duplex on site, and then subdivide the rear portion into four new single unit lots.
A new application was filed for the addition of three dwelling units to the second story of an existing mixed use building at 1464 Sixth Street in Berkeley. The current building already holds three units. If approved, the application will designate all six units as affordable.
The West Midway Development took a step forward earlier this week when new plansets were submitted for design review in Area A of the project. The original development plan for the Alameda Point neighborhood was approved in June of 2023. Brookfield Properties has now brought more specific plans for the development of 284 units on the 12.4-acre site. The designs by KTGY Architecture + Planning and Woodly Architecture Group will include a combination of Duets, Townhomes, and Condominiums.
