Marea Alta
Back to listLocated on a former BART parking lot adjacent to the San Leandro BART Station, Marea Alta includes 115 rental apartments affordable to households earning 30-55% of Area Median Income. Building amenities include a community room with full kitchen, laundry facilities, bike storage, and a landscaped courtyard with gathering space and a children’s play structure.
Marea Alta also includes a future child care center, as well as the creation of more than 240 below-grade parking spaces for BART patrons. Removal of the former parking lot, combined with the addition of ground floor community-serving space, enriches San Leandro Boulevard and promotes pedestrian activity.
Marea Alta was constructed with an innovative design-build process to increase project efficiencies; view the time-lapse construction video. While Marea Alta was BRIDGE’s first modular project, the technique was used again for the second phase of the master-planned site: La Vereda, 85 affordable apartment homes for seniors.
