ROEM Development Corporation has broken ground on Evelyn Family Apartments, a 116-unit, affordable multifamily community in Mountain View. The development covers 1.93 acres on the southwest corner at the intersection of East Evelyn Ave and South Bernardo Ave.
The $64 mil project will offer studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments to families making up to 60 percent of the Santa Clara County Area Median Income. It will consist of three- and four-story buildings and will also include 116 bicycle parking spaces for residents and guests.
The contemporary architecture will complement the surrounding neighborhood by integrating an interpretation of traditional styling, consistent with the diverse context existing in the city. The development will include a wide range of indoor and outdoor amenities, such as a large community room with a kitchenette, homework center with computers, fitness room, laundry rooms, a private shuttle to and from the local transit and schools, and VTA Eco-passes for each unit.
The building will be built of high-quality Type VA residential construction over a Type IA one-level at grade and one-level subterranean parking garage. Construction of the project will include energy conservation features such as water and energy-efficient appliances and fixtures. Evelyn Family Apartments will be an environmentally- sustainable development and will pursue USGBC LEED-H Gold certification. This will include a high-efficiency irrigation system, no turf use, drought-resistant plant palette, roof drainage collection system via downspouts, upgraded insulation in exterior walls and roofs, Energy Star appliances and high-efficiency heating and cooling equipment.
Evelyn Family Apartments is receiving 4 percent Low-Income Housing Tax Credits and Citi Community Capital provided tax-exempt construction financing in the amount of $32 mil. Investment support was provided by AEGON. The City of Mountain View has provided financial backing for this project in the amount of $22.3 mil. The architect is Withee Malcolm Architects, LLP; the nonprofit partner is Pacific Housing; and the general contractor is ROEM Builders Inc. Completion is expected in August 2018.
