Lincoln Court

Oakland, CA

Project Overview

Located in Oakland’s vibrant Dimond District, Lincoln Court provides 82 apartments for low-income seniors, many of whom have disabilities.  In partnership with neighborhood groups and the City of Oakland, Domus was able to transform the long-troubled site into a valuable addition to the community.

Lincoln Court redeveloped a site that was previously occupied by the Hillcrest Motel, a blighted motel known for drug activity and prostitution.  The new landmark building establishes a fresh neighborhood identity and represents a valuable addition to the community.

In 2008, Lincoln Court was named a Best Affordable Residential Finalist by the SF Business Times.
