Coliseum Connections | Oakland, California

Coliseum Connections is a 110 unit Affordable Housing transit village development located next to the Coliseum BART station in Oakland, California.

The completed project is comprised of four buildings; one five-story building accommodating 66 one and two bedroom flats and 44 two-story town-homes spread across three buildings. The main building utilizes a hybrid first floor with 2,200 square feet of site built retail space and 10 prefab built apartments. Floors 2 through 5 each have 14 apartments of type 3 modular construction fabricated in Guerdon’s Boise, Idaho facility.

The developer selected modular construction for this project to save both time and money. The project realized a 20-25% time savings over estimates for traditional site-built methods, opening in 16 months, 4 months faster than the estimated 20 months required for site built. The developer also saw an estimated 10% savings in overall construction costs, which on a $40 million project works out to close to a $4 million savings.

This project has the goal of achieving GreenPoint Rated Silver certification, in addition to the green benefits inherent with modular construction.

Developed by UrbanCore Development working closely with the City of Oakland Community and Economic Development Agency (CEDA), the Housing Authority of the City of Oakland (OHA) and the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART). Cahill Contractors was the GC on the project.
