Contact Peninsula Station

Peninsula Station is the result of a visionary partnership between the City of San Mateo, the County of San Mateo and MidPen Housing. Pen Station received the 2011 Green Building Award from Sustainable San Mateo County, reflecting the commitment to sustainability shared by key partners. Built on the site of a former Good Year Tire Center, Pen Station is now a vibrant, mixed-use community with a large central courtyard featuring two play areas for children, podium landscaping and space for a community garden. Located a quarter mile from the Hillsdale Caltrain Station and across the street from Hillsdale Shopping Center, Pen Station provides transit-oriented housing, which supports the Grand Boulevard Initiative to transform El Camino Real into a safe and welcoming place to live, work and play.

Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC)

Since this property has received funding in part through the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program, a certain number of units are set aside for lower income households. Households must earn either less than 50% or 60% of the area median income (depending on the set-aside option chosen by the property owner) to qualify for these units. Rents in these units are capped at a maximum of 30% of the set-aside area median income (adjusted for unit size). Some rental units in this property may not be subject to LIHTC and therefore have higher rents and no maximum household income requirement.
