Eden Housing and the city of Fremont, Calif., have broken ground on a new affordable housing community in Fremont.
Mission Court Senior Apartments, designed by KTGY Architecture + Planning, will provide 90 one- and two-bedroom apartment homes for very low and extremely low-income active adults 62 and better who earn between 30 percent and 50 percent of the Area Median Income.
Located on a 2.25-acre site, the single three-story building steps up to four stories on the south side of the project. The U-shape configuration creates a safe and tranquil interior courtyard, designed for active and passive uses, including a future outdoor kitchen and community garden. Inside community amenities include a community room, library and computer room. The new apartment community will also offer bicycle parking, electrical vehicle and carshare parking.
The new community incorporates green design elements to maximize energy and water efficiency, and uses of recycled materials. The project will pursue GreenPoint Rated (GPR) certification through Build It Green and is designed to exceed Title 24 energy and resource efficiency according to Jessica Musick, associate principal in KTGY’s Oakland office.
Mission Court Senior Apartments is expected to be completed in November 2018.
