Exciting New Development Coming to Downtown Santa Rosa

Downtown Santa Rosa is on the verge of a major transformation with a new housing development proposal set to revitalize the area. The plan involves the demolition of an existing structure to make way for a striking 7-story, mixed-use building that will bring both commercial and residential spaces to the heart of the city.

A New Urban Hub

This ambitious project is designed to enhance the vibrancy of Downtown Santa Rosa with a mix of ground-floor commercial spaces and 120 market-rate and affordable multi-family housing units. The building will offer a diverse range of living options, including studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units, catering to a broad spectrum of residents.

Modern Amenities and Design

Residents will enjoy modern amenities including ground-floor amenity spaces, an inviting outdoor courtyard, and a rooftop deck providing stunning views of the city. The development is thoughtfully designed with a main lobby entrance facing Courthouse Square, and ground-floor residential spaces featuring raised stoops that front Santa Rosa Avenue. A charming café will be positioned at the corner of 2nd Street and Santa Rosa Avenue, adding to the building’s appeal and convenience.

Sustainable and Accessible

In keeping with the city’s commitment to sustainability and accessibility, the development will provide on-site bicycle parking and storage. Vehicle parking will be conveniently located in City Parking Garage 12 at 555 First Street, ensuring ease of access for residents and visitors alike.

Next Steps

The project requires Minor Design Review by the Zoning Administrator before it moves forward. Once approved, this development will be a significant step towards enhancing the downtown area, providing much-needed housing options, and creating a dynamic space for residents and businesses to thrive.

The future of Downtown Santa Rosa is bright, and this new project is set to be a key part of that future!
