Condo Community Gives Back to School District
Regis Homes’ condo development, the Ashton, has pledged to donate $37,000 to SchoolForce, the Belmont-Redwood Shores Public School Foundation, to improve students’ access to vital programs.
BELMONT, CA—The Ashton, a new condominium community from Regis Homes Bay Area, has pledged to donate $37,000 to SchoolForce, the Belmont-Redwood Shores Public School Foundation. For each home sold in the 74-residence community, $500 will be donated to the foundation.
The community has sold more than 50% of its homes since sales launched last November. A $3,500 check for the first seven closings was delivered to SchoolForce representatives at a reception attended by Belmont mayor Davina Hurt, Belmont city officials, SchoolForce staff, community leaders and new residents.
“We’re excited that the Ashton is able to give back to the Belmont community and support our local schools through SchoolForce,” says Jeff Smith, senior vice president of residential development at Regis Homes Bay Area. “With the Ashton, our ultimate goal is to contribute positively to the Belmont community, whether it’s by funding local educational programs to improve students’ access to vital areas, or by contributing new housing and retail options along El Camino Real for nearby residents.”
Last fall, SchoolForce also provided numerous innovation grants to Belmont-Redwood Shores Public School District teachers for the purpose of improving lessons and classroom environments. More than 40% of all teachers on staff or 92 teachers were granted more than $45,000, thanks to donations to SchoolForce, GlobeSt.com learns.
“There’s no better way we can think of to give back than to partner with SchoolForce and support our local public schools and students,” Smith tells GlobeSt.com. “SchoolForce allocates its funds across a variety of programs, including staffing, the arts, literacy, technology and sports. Their mission is to make sure all children receive a great well-rounded education, and we’re grateful that we’re in a position to help support them in their goals.”
The Ashton is located at 400 El Camino Real, at the corner of Davey Glen Road and El Camino Real, within walking distance to the Belmont Caltrain station and near the 101 freeway. The transit-friendly centrally located community also has proximity to nearby entertainment and employment centers.
The Ashton has two four-story residential buildings as well as a separate one-story approximately 4,900-square-foot retail center, and features 27 one-bedroom, 27 two-bedroom and 19 three-bedroom homes ranging from approximately 700 to 1,775 square feet. Four two-story live-work townhomes sit on a private drive across from the retail building. The Residences at the Ashton feature spacious floorplans and hardwood floors. Residents have access to a fitness center, an outdoor patio with barbecue, bike storage and 138 parking spaces.
The Ashton is marketed exclusively by Polaris Pacific. The financial partner on the project is Tricon Capital Group, while the design/development team includes architectural design firm Dahlin Group, civil engineer BKF, structural engineer Nishkian Menniger, Emerald City Engineers and general contractor Regis Contractors Bay Area.
