Alvarado Garden Apartments

MULTIFAMILY Affordable Housing 

The Alvarado Garden Apartments is an innovative affordable housing project situated on a 4.46-acre site. The 82,000 sq. ft. building currently under construction will offer 100 diverse units, including 25 three-bedroom, 26 two-bedroom, 48 one-bedroom apartments, and a manager's unit. The project will preserve four historic buildings while removing the vacant City Hall, with surface parking being developed on the West and South sides. The development prioritizes community integration through a new public plaza that will connect commercial spaces with the Alvarado Adobe, featuring ground-floor retail along San Pablo Avenue and architecture that complements the local identity. The project emphasizes access to nature with a grand courtyard, open walkways, and the Blume House Park. Residents will benefit from high-quality affordable housing with thoughtfully designed units, community facilities, and on-site services. The development demonstrates a commitment to healthy living through the use of low/no VOC materials in interior finishes. This three-floor building offers numerous amenities including community spaces with shared facilities, a central courtyard designed for resident gatherings, a children's playground, private patios and balconies, secure bicycle storage, a fitness center, yoga studio, reading lounge, and laundry facilities on all floors.
