MidPen Housing Files Plans for 82 Affordable Units in Redwood City

MidPen Housing has filed a preliminary application with Redwood City for an 82-unit affordable infill development at 1580 Maple Street. The plan proposes 46 one-bedroom and 36 two-bedroom apartments on a 1.5-acre parcel across from the Redwood City Police Department station and Redwood Creek. The filing, reported by SF YIMBY on November 1, is a preliminary submission and has not been approved. No case or application number has been published yet.

Why it matters

For builders and affordable-housing operators, the filing puts 82 proposed units on an undeveloped Redwood City parcel across from US 101, about a block from the Steinberger Marina. SF YIMBY reports the surrounding undeveloped area is expected to be redeveloped. That includes a potential 131-unit townhouse infill project and the county’s recently built navigation center at 275 Blomquist Street.

The numbers

The proposal calls for 82 units split between 46 one-bedroom and 36 two-bedroom apartments, with no studios or three-bedroom units listed. Total floor area would run roughly 68,020 square feet, including about 51,900 square feet of housing and 3,950 square feet of common space, on a 1.5-acre site. Plans show a building roughly 42 feet tall with 89 surface parking spaces and a dedicated room for 42 bicycles. Studio T Square is listed as architect and The Guzzardo Partnership as landscape architect, with Devcon expected to serve as general contractor.

What’s next

The application remains preliminary, and Redwood City has not scheduled a public hearing or issued any approval. No case or permit number has surfaced in public records yet, and the filing does not specify an affordability formula, income targeting, or an estimated construction cost.
