Dedicated to affordable and healthy living for seniors, Cranes Landing is the result of a decade of planning by the City of Lodi and developer Eden Housing. Inspired by the donation to the City of eight acres of land by Gordon Lloyd Roget, the project was finally realized after long delays, surviving the challenges of the Great Recession and the inflation in the construction economy. The development is situated between a retail center and Roget Park, which contains 60 shade-giving heritage trees, bocce ball courts, horseshoes, game tables, and low-impact exercise stations. Completing the vision, the resulting 80 unit community provides for walkability, recreation, socialization and support.

The apartments are divided between two, two-story buildings. Extensive solar systems on the broad roofs produce half of the project’s hot water demand and over 160 kW of electricity annually. Each building frames its own landscaped courtyard facing the Park. The main amenities are clustered at the center of the development, with a pathway connection directly to the heart of the Park. With a GreenPoint Rating of Gold, the project includes extensive stormwater management, bay friendly landscaping, Energy Star appliances, and is designed to meet the EPA’s Indoor Air Quality Plus program. Access to the units is provided by either a double loaded corridor or covered exterior walkways which allow for through ventilation of those units.
