Officials have celebrated the grand opening of the largest affordable housing project in San Mateo County, the 147-unit Midway Village near the Cow Palace in Daly City.
The celebration coincided with groundbreaking Friday for 113 affordable apartments and a childcare center at Midway Village 2 to be finished by the end of 2027.
The projects will ultimately transform an existing San Mateo County Housing Authority property from 150 units into 555 new apartments, according to MidPen Housing Corp. of Foster City.
Residents of the original housing will have the opportunity to move into the new homes as each phase is completed, the company said.
Midway Village I provides 147 affordable apartment homes for residents earning up to 30-80% of Area Median Income (AMI), or up to about $41,130-$156,640, depending on household size.
When complete in 2027, Midway Village 2 will deliver 113 affordable apartment homes for families earning up to 30-60% of AMI, the company said. The second phase will include a 15,000-square-foot childcare center capable of serving 109 children, according to the company.
“This is a neighborhood near the Cow Palace that has really struggled for decades but is starting to show new signs of life,” San Mateo County Board of Supervisors President David Canepa said in a press release.
“This is a transformative project that took a very old and outdated affordable housing complex with 150 units to what will be a modern complex that will have more than 500 units for individuals often on the brink of being homeless.”
