Project Overview

Located at 3700 N. Sutter Street, Stockton, CA, Casa Mañana Inn Apartments (“Casa Mañana”) is an existing 163-unit income-restricted senior apartment community. Originally built in 1960 as a hospital, the subject property was later repositioned in 1964 into a multifamily asset serving low-income seniors 62 years and older. Casa Mañana consists of one building ranging from two to four stories, and is serviced by an elevator and several interior stairways. The unit mix consists of 137 studios, 25 one-bedroom units, and one two-bedroom manager’s unit. There are 64 surface parking spaces.

Unit amenities include central heat and air and a full kitchen with white electric range/oven appliances and refrigerators. Community amenities include two large community/recreation rooms on the ground floor that host activities such as daily meal programs and resident activities. There are several interior quiet areas with common seating and restrooms. Outdoor landscaped courtyards with patio seating are located along the property’s southern and northern elevations. The property offers also a small on-site storage area, three laundry facilities, a key-card entry system, and security cameras.

Since its redevelopment in 1964, Casa Mañana has not been upgraded. In order to provide a safe living environment for current and future residents and to create a more energy efficient property, the property requires extensive capital improvements to address deferred maintenance throughout the complex. Domus Development together with Stockton YMI Elderly Housing (“SYMIEH”, current owner) will conduct significant renovations to include not only upgrading unit and community amenities to current modern and energy efficient standards, but also replacing the HVAC system, upgrading the plumbing and electrical systems, installing handicap accessibility features, replacing the asphalt pavement, driveways, sidewalks, curbs and steps, replacing the roof, unit interior doors, elevator, and partially replacing the irrigation system.
