Development Projects
Comprehensive Plan
MBCDC’s Rural Street Comprehensive Development Project is a part of the Martindale Brightwood Education Zone (MBEZ) and Housing Village priority. Goal: To ensure the increase and preservation of affordable housing in the area, our plans include building new affordable housing units on vacant lots, expanding an existing community garden to include a learning pocket park, and providing significant repairs and upgrades to the current housing stock on the block. Focus: The project is focused on rebuilding without displacement of current residents so that families can reside in safe and quality affordable housing while engaging in community-building activities with new neighbors. There is a need for a maintenance and sustainability plan to be put in place, not just a few bandages.
Heritage Community Garden
Developments for this garden and pocket park include landscaping, adding seating and pathways for outdoor classes and partnering with HealthNet and other resource providers to deliver a variety of workshops for residents. Plans include creating safe and accessibility structures, like ramps, produce and flower bed and lighting making this greenspace a welcoming place for outdoor serenity. Along with the garden and socially distance seating, this project offers classes on nutrition, mental & physical health, COVID Recovery awareness and financial literacy programs. This space will be the only open recreational space within a half-mile radius. This makes it suitable for the elderly and children who would not walk that far to access other parks. Small businesses will also benefit from selling their produce, arts, and crafts at the park.
New Construction Townhomes
This is the first housing development in MBCDC’s Comprehensive Development Plan for the 2400 block of North Rural Street. The Rural Street Development project includes the design, construction, and completion of two (2) new, quality, affordable townhomes on North Rural Street. The homes will consist of 2- and 3-bedroom units with a unit square foot size of approximately 1,600 SF. The site which consists of 2411, 2415, and 2427 North Rural Street is approximately 0.1 acres. The units will be affordable to individuals earning up to 80% Area Median Income (AMI). MBCDC is leading this development with an affordable and environmentally friendly product that will be constructed to the highest standards.
