A Santa Clara-based developer is moving forward with plans to build a 77-acre community in Dublin with homes, apartments, a 140-room hotel, and shops and restaurants.
SCS Development has entered into an environmental review for SCS Dublin, a master-planned community on a vacant swath along I-580 in the Tri-Valley city, SFYimby reported.
The east Dublin project in Alameda County includes suburban housing, an affordable apartment building and a commercial district anchored by a public park. An earlier project by SCS Development was rejected by the city for not having enough commercial space.
The latest plans call for 650 single family homes, condominiums and apartments in three sections between the freeway and Gleason Drive, bordered by Tassajara Road and Brannigan Street.
A northern section would include 150 two- and three-story detached homes and 70 three- and four-story townhomes north of Central Street.
A middle section would include 290 condominiums, 40 mixed-use “shop houses” with 40,000 square feet of shops and restaurants, and a 100-unit affordable housing complex on 2.5 acres north of Finian Way..
A southern section next to I-580 would include a commercial village containing a 75,000-square-foot hotel, 225,000 square feet of commercial space and an 80,000-square-foot recreational facility, along with 30,000 square feet set aside for “family entertainment use.”
A grand paseo up to 110-feet-wide will run north through a town square and the housing development and include public gardening, native plants and pollinator meadows.
Field Paoli Architects, based in Downtown San Francisco, is responsible for the design. Public transit includes a Livermore Amador Valley Transit bus line running along Dublin Boulevard and a Dublin Pleasanton BART Station fifteen minutes away by bus or bicycle.
Alameda County was among the hottest real estate markets in the Bay Area during the pandemic, with Dublin prices rising 31 percent to $1.4 million during a year ending February 28, according to a Zillow survey.
The East Bay city, however, has backtracked on its housing projects. Last month, the Dublin City Council voted to repeal its decision to allow Trumark Homes to build a 573-unit housing project, after a community group collected enough signatures to force a referendum.
