Subterranean Shovels Mark First Large Multifamily Project

Ageno Apartments is a 171-unit mixed-income transit-oriented development.

LIVERMORE, CA—As the first large-scale multifamily development in about a quarter of a century, Ageno Apartments, a 171-unit mixed-income transit-oriented development, is underway. This marks the final construction phase in the master-planned Vineyard Crossing, a 34.5-acre community of 465 single-family homes, townhomes and apartments originally entitled by SummerHill Homes and built by KB Homes. The developer is JEMCOR Development Partners, which specializes in market-rate, affordable and mixed-income housing.

JEMCOR purchased the 5-acre site located at South Vasco Road and Brisa Street from SummerHill Homes in September 2016 and took on the responsibility of satisfying the inclusionary housing requirement for the community by incorporating affordable units within the development. While plans originally called for 85% of those units to be market rate and the remaining 15% to be affordable units, JEMCOR opted to increase the total number of affordable units to 20%.
