Valor Crossing

7500 Saint Patrick Way, Dublin, California 94568

Valor Crossing is a 66-unit rental affordable housing development in Dublin, CA near the West Dublin/Pleasanton BART station and targeted for U.S. veterans and their families. Located in downtown Dublin, this community will be within walking distance to schools, job centers, retail stores, and services as well as several options for mass transit including the West Dublin/Pleasanton BART station, less than 0.2 miles away.

This development provides 24 one-bedroom units, 20 two-bedroom units, and 21 three-bedroom units that are affordable to households earning 30%-60% of the area median income. The development also includes several amenities, such as a large community room for events and classes, technology center, two outdoor decks, fitness center, and a laundry room. All residents can use the community room for parties and meetings, and resident children will be able to use the computer lab for homework and for participation in digital literacy programming.

Additionally, there are spaces for a range of active and passive outdoor recreation activities. Designed as a U-shape, the residential building creates a safe and secured outdoor backyard for residents to enjoy. The landscaping was particularly designed to create several distinct spaces for various uses, including a playground area intended for toddlers, a playground area for young children, hardscape patio areas, a barbeque grill area, and community gardens for children and adults of all ages. An accessible pathway weaves through this space, connecting but also delineating the various spaces.

This project presents an exciting opportunity to impact community development in the City of Dublin. As an urban infill project, this project is a vital lynchpin in the redevelopment of downtown Dublin. Designed and entitled as part of a master development that includes the market-rate component across the street, this development has transformed a vacant lot - formerly a car dealership - into a vibrant community that better connects and enlivens downtown Dublin. The market rate development will include approximately 310 market rate homes and 17,000 square feet of commercial space, enriching the community environment and providing additional retail services within walking distance for our residents.

Additionally, this project responds to a need in the community for affordable veterans housing. Home to the U.S. Army Base, Camp Parks, the City of Dublin maintains a strong relationship with the armed forces community. Valor Crossing not only offers quality, safe homes for veteran families at an affordable price, but allows residents a high degree of mobility given its transit-oriented location near mass transit and walkable to large job centers and retail centers.
