Project Overview

Domus’ acquisition of Oak Ridge Senior Apartments prevented this project from converting to market-rate rents and preserved 35 units of essential affordable senior housing. Domus acquired Oak Ridge in order to substantially rehabilitate and preserve the housing as a low-income senior development.

Located within a charming residential neighborhood in Sonoma, the project is comprised of ten separate one-story buildings on approximately 3 acres. The project consists of 30 one-bedroom and 5 two-bedroom apartments.

The rehabilitated property consists of updated units for the seniors, ADA improvements throughout the complex, and improved community space.

Project Overview

La Almenara grew out of a public-private partnership to address the foreclosure crisis in the City of Pittsburg. Domus provided development, finance, and construction management expertise in replacing abandoned and foreclosed properties with safe, affordable dwelling units.

La Almenara is part of an effort which aims to mitigate the negative impacts of the housing crisis by strategically developing multiple scattered sites throughout downtown Pittsburg, all of which were foreclosed and abandoned.

Project Overview

Santa Fe Commons is a scattered-sites project that replaced a series of abandoned and foreclosed properties with new housing using Neighborhood Stabilization funds. In 2014, the Association of Bay Area Governments awarded Domus Development and the City of Pittsburg a Public-Private Partnership Award Honorable Mention for their continued collaboration.

Domus partnered with the City of Pittsburg to mitigate the negative impacts of the housing crisis by strategically developing five scattered sites throughout downtown Pittsburg, all of which were foreclosed and abandoned.

Project Overview

When the owner of this at-risk property could not close a sale with another affordable housing developer, Domus was able to step in to make the deal work and preserve the project’s affordability.

Located in the picturesque City of Cloverdale in northern Sonoma County, Citrus Commons consists of 28 senior apartments and 4  family units. Domus acquired Citrus Commons in order to rehabilitate the property and maintain its affordability.

Project Overview

Sutter Place Apartments is a 47-unit apartment complex located at 5801 Sutter Avenue in the Carmichael area of unincorporated Sacramento County.  All units are deed-restricted affordable housing with an existing Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) contract with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The project receives Section 8 rental subsidies for 100% of the units.

The project was an acquisition and rehabilitation of existing units while preserving affordability. The building was built in 1980 and required extensive rehabilitation, replacement of major systems and upgrading of many features to modern standards, including replacement of appliances with energy-efficient models.

Project Overview

Garden Village is a model of how to create healthy housing. The development was the first project in the country to implement a new HUD Section 811 Project Rental Assistance program that enables disabled individuals to transition from nursing homes and other institutions to independent living.

These residents benefit from an array of community-based services that are tailored to their needs. The project grew out of the renovation of a troubled apartment complex. Domus worked with the lending institution and several municipal agencies to acquire and rehabilitate a property that suffered from crime, mold damage, and severe disrepair.
