Alta Mira | Hayward, CA

Combining Senior and Affordable Family Housing on one podium, this multi-generation project completes the first phase of a larger development project centered on the South Hayward BART station. The project features a shared podium courtyard with community gardens and a combined outdoor gathering space for both Senior and Family residents.

The family development includes 87 one, two and three bedroom affordable units. Adjacent to the family building are 64 affordable senior apartments including both one- and two-bedroom affordable units. While the two buildings have their own interior common space, they each share the common outdoor podium courtyard. The interior spaces are situated in a way to create a natural flow between the two properties in the common outdoor space. The courtyard includes a tot lot, raised community gardens, and picnic tables.

The site is located within walking distance of a wealth of amenities including parks, schools and transportation. First and foremost, residents have convenient access to affordable public transportation at the BART station located just across Dixon Street.
