Pacifica Village Apartments

Taking advantage of California’s 2020 ADU legislation, OpenScope Studio is finding creative ways to add accessory dwelling units (ADUs) to existing multifamily buildings. At a large apartment complex in Pacifica we are converting tuck-under parking into 42 new income-restricted affordable apartments per state law that allows an addition of up to 25% of the existing unit count. The mix of studio, one- and two-bedroom units are intended to provide much-needed workforce housing within an easy commute of nearby San Francisco. Other improvements to this affordable housing project include a new parking area and additional landscaped open space.

The project is anticipated to be completed in 2023.
