Affordable Community Breaks Ground in East Palo Alto
Redwood City – If you ask San Mateo County residents to name their top needs (and we did), the answer nearly always includes finding an affordable place to live.
This morning, Board of Supervisors President Warren Slocum along with local dignitaries celebrated the groundbreaking of an apartment complex that attempts to address that challenge.
Colibri Commons, at 965 Weeks St. in East Palo Alto, includes 136 new apartments that will serve a broad range of the community’s housing needs, with floorplans of up to four bedrooms. Rents will be below market rates for all units in a development led by EPACANDO and MidPen Housing, two local nonprofit housing developers.
“These larger apartments offered at affordable rents address a priority for the County and will help us slow the exodus of working families,” Slocum said.
