One of Emeryville's last major redevelopment opportunities, Perennial will transform a former industrial site into 362 affordable homes across three 8-story buildings, a climate-smart community designed to put down deep roots in the neighborhood it joins.
Studios through three-bedrooms will serve households earning 30%–60% of the area median income (AMI), delivered in three phases:
Phase 1 · 126 units · Phase 2 · 132 units · Phase 3 · 104 units.
Adjacent to Christie Park, Perennial will expand the park by at least 6,000 square feet — enough for a full-size basketball court. A new pedestrian connection between Christie Avenue and the Public Market, upgraded bike lane access, and the transformation of industrial 59th Street into a vibrant shared corridor will make Perennial a win for the whole neighborhood.
A ground-floor partnership with Bay Area Bike Rescue brings free and low-cost bikes, safety training, maintenance, and volunteer opportunities directly to residents and the community.
EAH Housing will manage the property and provide resident services centered on health and active living, education, and community building — with a strong commitment to green building and energy efficiency across all three phases.
