Veterans Affairs and other local leaders will celebrate the groundbreaking of Eagle Park Apartments, an affordable

Eagle Park Apartments will

The unit mix consists of 62
studios at approximately 400 square feet and five one-bedroom apartment homes

groceries, pharmacies, restaurants and public transit.
The residential apartment community building
will be GreenPoint Rated through the inclusion of the following green design
features: solar thermal system, energy-efficient HVAC, energy-efficient
lighting and water-conserving fixtures.

"Google is honored to help support the amazing work that Palo Alto Housing is doing,” said Adrian Schurr, Bay Area Program Manager for Google.org. “PAH is an amazing leader in the community and we're excited to see the success of their initiatives."
"It was in June last
year where we, as a city, stepped up and invested $8 million in development
funds for this Palo Alto Housing Corporation project because it is bringing 67
new affordable homes with easy access to mass transit,” said Mountain View
Mayor, Ken Rosenberg. “This project is a great example of how both cooperation
and smart development can make our city more accessible by increasing our
overall supply of affordable housing and making a great place for our veterans
to come home to.”
