Downtown Livermore Apartments

Eden Housing/Livermore Downtown Apartments is partnering with the City to develop an affordable workforce housing project on the City’s Downtown site. As currently proposed, this project would provide 130 units ranging in size from one to three bedrooms near the southeast corner or Railroad Avenue and L Street. The project will front onto a large public park, Veterans Park, which will connect to Stockmen’s Park to create a signature public open space area running from Livermore Ave. to S. L St.

Eden secured a $14.4 million grant from Alameda County and received an extension from the County to give the project more time to complete entitlements and secure tax credit financing.
