Preliminary Plans For Affordable Housing At 125 East 12th Street, Oakland

Preliminary plans have been filed for an eight-story affordable housing project at 125 East 12th Street in Merritt, Oakland. The proposal would rise next to East Bay Asian Local Development Corporation’s approved plans for affordable housing at 121 East 12th Street. Satellite Affordable Housing Associates is leading the project and working with co-developer Eastlake United for Justice.

Before the two active plans by SAHA and EBALDC, UrbanCore Development was pursuing plans for the site. UrbanCore had been working on plans since 2013 and even brought in EBALDC to build an affordable housing complex next to a 26-story market-rate tower. Previous plans would have created 360 units, including 90 affordable apartments.
