UC Berkeley announced Satellite Affordable Housing Associates, or SAHA, as the developer for the construction of affordable and supportive housing on the former site of People’s Park this morning.
The decision comes two years after a state appellate court ruling delayed progress on the development and the initial developer dropped out. Campus has lacked a developer since, despite starting construction on the student portion of the housing.
The building is expected to have approximately 100 units of apartments as “previously envisioned” with the possibility to “modestly” increase the amount after funding and design are finalized, according to a press release. However, the amount of funding secured will ultimately determine the amount of affordable versus supportive housing.
