Construction is progressing for an affordable housing project at 33435 Mission Boulevard in Alameda County’s Union City. The development is being led by MidPen Housing, looking to produce 81 units across a four-story complex with community-serving retail space to be operated by Union City’s Youth & Family Services. The project is the first affordable development in decades for the Decoto neighborhood.
The Union City Planning Commission has given unanimous approval for Station East, a significant residential master plan by Danville-based Integral Communities. The proposal would replace vacant industrial structures and surface parking by Decoto Road and 7th Street with new apartments, affordable housing, and thousands of square feet of ground-level commercial floor space near the Union City BART Station. The vote gives a strong recommendation ahead of the June 8th meeting, during which the City Council will consider giving the final approval to allow construction.
