Jack London Gateway Senior Housing - EBALDC

Description

Residents of West Oakland have historically faced health disparities including high asthma rates due to the industrial land uses in the neighborhood. The development of Jack London Gateway begins to address these disparities by supporting resource-efficient land use strategies and sustainable building practices. A model in design and construction, this 61-unit affordable senior housing development is an infill of an underutilized urban shopping center parking lot. From concept to daily operations, the quality of life and health concerns of the low-income to extremely low-income residents were considered and resulted in the highest Green Point Rated multifamily building when it opened in 2009. Jack London Gateway received the 2010 Gold Nugget Grand Award for Green Point Rated Community of the Year.
