Project Overview:
Coliseum Place is a new 58-home development in East Oakland, offering transit-oriented affordable housing for low-income and previously unhoused families in a historically underserved neighborhood near a major regional light rail stop. The project included safe pedestrian and bike access as well as transit improvements.

The project is an early all-electric 100% affordable project in the area featuring an innovative, decentralized hot water system to drastically reduce energy use. The team also emphasized biophilic design and informed, resident resilience.
