Affordable, Unsubsidized Housing Planned for Near West Oakland BART

Panoramic Interests is the developer who recently revised it’s design for 1,031 apartment units to be built near West Oakland BART(1). Previously, the plans called for 1,400 units, but was changed to 1,031 units by removing all of the one-bedrooms, and all but two studio apartments from the plans. Other interesting facts about the revised design include removing all luxury amenities such as gyms, pet spas and chef kitchens. Also removed from the floor plans are any empty corridors, to make most efficient use of the space to provide affordable, unsubsidized housing near a transportation hub. Also, no parking is provided for the complex, just seven spaces for car-sharing and deliveries. So occupants will be relying on public transit and car services. This is certainly a design for the post-modern era that should please the millennials.

The estimated rents will be around $2,500 for 2 bedrooms and about $3,500 for a 4 bedroom unit. Instead of luxury amenities, the complex will include 2 parks and two alleys that can function as open-air living rooms with space for eating and socializing with friends and neighbors. The complex will include two mid-rise buildings and one 240 foot tower. The complex will also include 15,000 square feet of retail and 32,000 square feet of commercial space for small businesses.

Panoramic Interests specializes in high-density infill projects, close to transit, in central city locations. Patrick Kennedy is the owner of the company that has been building housing, live-work space and commercial property in the San Francisco Bay Area since 1990. Kennedy is quoted as saying, “The greatest unmet need in the Bay Area is entry-level urban housing. There’s a lot of luxury housing being built, but not much for the highly touted missing middle. We want our residents to participate in the civic life in Oakland and just have an affordable place to live so they can stay in Oakland.” Offered for sale is 120 Wildwood Gardens, Piedmont, offered at $3,495,000.

Los Arboles Apartments - 17 Photos - Apartments - 201 4th St, Del Mar, Del Mar, CA - Phone Number

8 201 4th St Del Mar , CA 92014 (858) 481-9585 Been here for 5 months now. These are definitely old apartments; the floorplans aren't modern or laid out super efficiently. But if you want to live within line-of-sight to the ocean, this place is as affordable as it gets. The manager is hands-down one of the nicest dudes I've met and has been extremely accommodating to us. Although the property is old, it's clean and decently kept up. The pool and hot tub are nice. We're on the 2nd floor in a corner unit and it's been very quiet for us. We haven't had any issues with bugs or vermin of any sort; in fact, we keep our porch door wide open all day long so our kitties can get some fresh air. This results in maybe 1 fly per day inside. There are surfer trails very nearby that lead down the cliffs for beach access. Bottom line, if you're looking for luxury, don't live here. It's too old to ever be luxurious. But if you're looking for line-of-sight to t

Charlotte affordable housing forum raises possible solutions

There’s a big demand for more affordable housing in Charlotte, where rents and home prices have shot up much faster than wages over the past few years. Many of the apartments being built now target more affluent renters, waitlists for housing vouchers are long and starter homes are snapped up almost immediately. So why aren’t developers building more affordable housing ? That was one of the main questions at a candidate education panel hosted by the Greater Charlotte Apartment Association on Friday, where about two dozen candidates for Charlotte City Council turned out to learn some of the basics on a complicated subject. “ Affordable housing is one of the topics you’ll talk about a lot,” Bryan Holladay, who supervises the group’s government affairs outreach , told the candidates. The subject is an alphabet soup of acronyms (like NOAH, or “ Naturally Occurring Affordable Housing ”) and overlapping terms and definitions. Sometimes when people say “ affordable housing ” they mean go

Parents of Student Murdered by Maintenance Man Sue Apartment Complex

He pleaded guilty to murder late last year, now the case of a maintenance worker who killed a Blinn student is back in court. The parents of 20-year-old Jenna Verhaalen are suing the Bryan apartment complex where she was killed. Verhaalen was strangled at the Autumn Woods Apartments in 2008, by 27-year-old maintenance worker Jeremiah Rosser . The suit claims Autumn Woods ignored complaints made about Rosser. Specifically, a complaint they claim Jenna made to Rosser's boss, when he entered her apartment while she was in the shower. The suit alleges the complex's negligence led to Jenna's death. Attorneys for Autumn woods said management had no reason to believe Rosser was a risk. However, that's not what the complex's corporate office told News Three in 2008. Back then, a spokesperson said Jenna complained to the maintenance supervisor about Jeremiah Rosser , but never filed a complaint with the office. Rosser quit his job at Autumn Woods several day
