PYATOK is working with Mercy Housing California and the Community Housing Development Corporation of North Richmond to rehabilitate a vacated six-story Hacienda Apartments originally built in 1966. Once completed, the 150-unit project will be home to low-income seniors, including 25 units for formerly homeless residents and 15 units for the frail elderly; amenities will include on-site resident and case management services and free programing such as wellness and skill-building seminars, intergenerational visiting and senior companion programs, and a visiting nurses program.
The rehabilitation will retain the building’s unit count while completely revamping interiors, exteriors, roof, and structure, and reorienting and expanding ground-floor common spaces to be more secure, community-oriented, and accessible to BART, AC Transit, and pick-up/drop-off. Work will include seismic and mechanical upgrades, cladding, window, and efficiency upgrades, interior refinishing, administrative wing and common area redesign and expansion, elevator updates, revised parking, renovated landscaping, and public art.
In 2011, PYATOK assisted Mercy and CHDC in a feasibility study for the rehabilitation of Hacienda Apartments. The project broke ground in May 2021. It is pursuing GreenPoint Rated (GPR) Existing Home Multifamily certification.
