Oakland, CA– Today, the East Bay Asian Local Development Corporation (EBALDC) broke ground on 96-units of permanently affordable housing for seniors – a crucial Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) project located in Chinatown near the Lake Merritt BART station. This is the first phase of a much larger project within the Lake Merritt BART Station Area Plan, with 460 additional planned homes, retail, public recreation areas, a childcare facility, and pedestrian and bike improvements to connect Chinatown to other neighborhoods.
