Affordable Housing Under Construction at 801 Pine Street, West Oakland

Phase one of construction has topped out for Phoenix in West Oakland, Alameda County. Crews are currently working on a four-story supportive housing project with a hundred affordable apartments overlooking Interstate 880. Allied Housing and East Bay Asian Local Development Corporation are jointly developing the project.

The development is named in honor of the former Phoenix Ironworks Steel Factory, which moved out of 801 Pine Street in 1989. The Phoenix master plan hopes to replace the five-acre site with around 316 units. The project was led by Holliday Partners, with final approval in 2022, and construction for phase one started in 2023. However, since December of last year, entitlements for the 215 market-rate homes have been listed for sale by Ground Matrix.
