Wall Raising Ceremony at Shorebreeze Apartments

The team at ESE was excited to attend the Wall Raising Ceremony for the Shorebreeze Apartments in Mountain View, CA.

We are very excited to work with MidPen Housing again on this Affordable Housing project.

On Tuesday August 13th, Mountain View Mayor Lisa Matichak, and Housing Trust of Silicon Valley CEO Kevin Zwick, joined other city and county leaders to celebrate new construction of affordable housing at Shorebreeze Apartments being developed by MidPen Housing.

The expansion of Shorebreeze Apartments is a response to the tremendous need for affordable workforce housing in Silicon Valley, one of the nation’s most expensive housing markets where many workers are being priced out. Originally built in 1980 and acquired by MidPen in 1997, Shorebreeze has long provided 120 affordable rental apartment homes for families and seniors. With the work currently underway, 108 of the original apartments will be renovated and 62 brand new apartments will be constructed, resulting in a net gain of 50 affordable homes – all on the original site footprint.

Pittsburg ADU | Q&A with Ian Provan

Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) offer flexible housing solutions, are becoming increasingly popular, and more government agencies are looking for creative ways to simplify construction permits.

With the recent California law, AB1033, this enables homeowners to sell ADUs independently, which in turn enhances financial flexibility for the homeowner and increases the housing supply.
