Best Mixed-Income Project of 2022/2023!
We’d like to put forth our commitment to being a “good neighbor” with the surrounding residents and businesses in the area. This philosophy informs our approach and is why we have made the effort to solicit input from the community as an integral part of our planning process, rather than relegating it to an afterthought. We’ve been fortunate to have received a lot of great feedback from our outreach events.
After 100+ individual meetings and events with the local residents, community leaders, associations, coalitions, stakeholder groups, local business owners, and neighborhood groups, we have come up with our design through many, many iterations.
In summary, the Housing Action Coalition's Project Review Committee is pleased to support the proposed project at Castro Commons that will result in a mixed-use project with well-designed, well-located homes. The Committee is pleased to see this transit-oriented project will increase foot-traffic and provide high-quality public realm improvements helping revitalize this area.
As we approach our publich hearing date, we'll set up more events.
We have had "Town Hall" open houses at our office which we hosted throughout July 2022 and our taco truck event at Fairmont Park. We have continued outreach efforts throughout the latter part of 2022 and now our latest in-person events have been held and open to the public during Fall 2023. These public events, coupled with extensive outreach to individual residents, community leaders, and local businesses have enabled us to confidently say this is truly a community-oriented development. We continue to modify our plans as we receive your input and we make best efforts to accommodate as many of your concerns and ideas into the Castro Commons plans as we can.
The consensus is overwelmingly positive, thanks to your suggestions and improvement of the original design. Here are some of the things we've proactively addressed and solved!
GPR Ventures was pleased to sponsor the main stage at the 2022 Mountain View Art & Wine Festival.
We take pride in our involvement with our local communities and strive to invest in the people and organizations around us as much as we invest in ourselves.
Whether it's a festival 'round the block, complimentary food for the intimate neighborhoods, or the revitalization of a beloved park and a goal to increase housing supply, GPR is always looking to make a significant and lasting impression on the local community around us.
