Algarve Apartments
Algarve Apartments will be an 8-story building located at 1135 E. Santa Clara Street in San José.
The development will add 91 units of affordable homes in Santa Clara County, including 24 apartments set aside for military veterans and 36 permanent supportive housing units for people who have experienced homelessness.
The supportive housing site, developed by Abode Housing Development, will combine affordable homes with wraparound support services for residents.
The state’s Project Homekey+ program awarded $41 million for Algarve Apartments – the largest public funding amount ever received for an Abode development.
Construction is expected to finish in late 2027. Abode Property Management will serve as property manager and Abode Services will provide on-site services.
Eucalyptus Grove
Eucalyptus Grove will offer 69 units of affordable housing in San Mateo County. The eight-story building will stand on a 0.36-acre property at 1875 California Drive in Burlingame.
The permanent supportive housing development will be located a block from the Millbrae BART and Caltrain stations.
Unit sizes will vary, with seven studios, 21 one-bedroom apartments, 21 two-bedrooms units, and 20 three-bedroom homes.
Twenty-five percent of the units will be set aside for formerly homeless veterans. With the exception of the manager’s unit, all apartments will be made affordable for households earning below 80 percent of the Area Median Income, with many for residents below 60 percent AMI. Apartments will be available for rent.
The 83-foot tall building will have a 22-car garage with room for 36 bicycles, and additional area for circulation, amenities, and mechanical functions. Residents will have access to laundry, community spaces, and a clubroom next to an inner courtyard that will include a playground space, seating, and an outdoor dining area.
Residents also can use a large community room and activity room on the second floor. It is in a very walkable neighborhood, near a grocery store, pharmacy, public transit, and parks. The John Stewart Company will manage the property, and participants can access services that will be provided by Abode Services.
Construction started in November 2023, and is expected to finish by Summer 2025.
Casa de Novo Redevelopment
Casa de Novo is a former hotel that has been converted into a supportive housing community in San Jose. Abode Housing Development has owned and managed the 56-unit complex since 2016. The site currently has both long-term apartments and interim housing.
Abode Housing Development plans to redevelop the site and will more than double the number of units, providing more affordable housing to help alleviate the housing crisis in Santa Clara County. Construction of the six-story development will be executed in two phases. Phase I construction is expected to finish by Fall 2024. Phase II is expected to begin in early 2025. After the nearly 1-acre property is redeveloped, each of Casa de Novo’s phases will have 58 new apartments — a total of 116 units.
All apartments will have a full kitchen, bathroom and living space. The homes also will have access to on-site community areas, which will include a large community room, interior courtyard on a terrace above parking spaces, secure bicycle parking, laundry facilities, computer access, and offices and meeting rooms for property management and social services. Abode will provide on-site services for residents, including various life skills, financial planning, job training, physical fitness and wellness, and social services support. Property management staff, including a resident manager who will live at the site, will work with services staff to ensure that residents are able to thrive and remain stably housed.
