 Downtown Fremont Continues to Gain Momentum with New Development Project
Last month, the City’s Zoning Administrator approved a new mixed-use development project located at the southwest corner of Paseo Padre Parkway and Capitol Avenue (39039 Paseo Padre Parkway). Led by the Deccan Pacific Group, the eight-story mixed-use building will include 179 market-rate apartment units, 8,000 square feet of ground floor commercial space, and a parking garage. While economic conditions will determine the construction start date, the vision for this project is a major step forward for Downtown Fremont and the continued transformation of Capitol Avenue. The building is slated to feature pedestrian-oriented commercial space along Capitol Avenue, which will bring more activity to the area, increase economic vitality, and expand the range of goods and services offered to the community. The project will be located within walking distance of the Fremont BART Station and will help support the City’s overall housing goals. Stay tuned for updates on this exciting future project for Downtown!
