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.
