COMMUNITIES: FEATURED PROJECTS

Domus is currently in the process of developing many exciting new projects that will serve as catalysts for their neighborhoods and examples of attractive and sustainable development. With substantial support from both the surrounding communities and local goverments, Domus is aiming to break ground on each of these projects in the second half of 2010. The completion of these projects will add over 250 units of affordable housing to the housing stock of California.

12th Street at D and E Streets
Sacramento, CA
81 affordable units with over 5,000 SF of commercial space

In 2007, the Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency awarded Domus the opportunity to develop the underutilized sites adjacent to the La Valentina Light Rail Station. Working with David Baker + Partners on the Station Site and YHLA Architects on the North Site, Domus is looking to reactivate the neighborhood with affordable rental units as well as community and retail space. The projects will create a gateway into the downtown area via 12th Street and will also promote smart growth practices due to its adjacency to transit and the mutlitude of services in the area. The project is expected to be complete by late 2012.
