A rendering of the affordable housing development at 1875 California Drive in Burlingame.
A former car wash site in Burlingame that will ultimately provide 18 apartments for homeless veterans or those at-risk of homelessness, along with 50 apartments for individuals and families with low incomes had its ground broken Thursday.
Eucalyptus Grove will include playground space, a clubroom and an outdoor dining area. It will rise a block east of El Camino Real at California and Murchison drives near public transit.
The eight-story project is led by CRP Affordable Housing & Community Development with project management and on-site support services by Abode Housing Development. Completion is slated for January 2026.
To help finance the project, the county is providing a nearly $5.7 million loan from Measure K, a countywide, voter-approved half-cent sales tax that provides local funds for local needs. The San Mateo County Housing Authority is also providing 30 vouchers that will cap a qualified resident’s rent at 30% of household income.
Prospective applicants should register on two separate platforms to be notified of this and other housing opportunities: Doorways, an online listing of affordable housing opportunities in the Bay Area, including San Mateo County, https://public.govdelivery.com/accounts/CAMTC/signup/36832. Rent Café PHA, an online portal to apply for Project-Based Vouchers, https://www.mysmchousing.com. Both sites will issue alerts when Eucalyptus Grove Apartments as well as other new affordable properties are ready to receive applications.
