Status: Phase I Complete (23 homes)
This all-electric affordable development will consist of 42 total townhomes divided among eight buildings on 2.05 acres. The planned unit mix consists of one, two, three and four bedroom units. Immediate proximity to Pleasant Hill BART, multiple bus lines and a regional bike trail makes this a truly transit oriented affordable housing development.

The minimized exterior envelope makes the homes highly energy efficient. Large windows & glazed exterior doors are designed to maximize daylighting.
View of typical bedroom
Bedrooms include individual wall-mounted package terminal heat pump units, which will heat or cool, depending on the season. These compact units were selected to maximize efficiency and to allow individualized temperature control throughout each home.
