The Residences at Peninsula Center Project

The proposed project is a 90-unit residential development on a 2-acre portion of the Peninsula Shopping Center, located at 27525 Norris Center Drive. The project would provide (1) public parking, (2) affordable housing, and (3) public streetscape improvements in exchange for bonus level development to increase the residential density at the site. The project would demolish a 7,000 square foot (SF) vacant building and construct a five-story podium structure with a maximum overall height of 68 feet. The residential units would be a mix of one- and two-bedroom units, with 15% of the units reserved for moderate income households (9 units total). The project would provide a total of 240 parking spaces, with 85 spaces provided as shared public/private parking on the ground floor.
