Being recognized as a leader in your hometown is never easy but that’s exactly what Factory_OS has done. The Sacramento Street Apartments is the first housing project Factory_OS has built in Vallejo, CA, the company’s hometown.
The 70-foot-long modules, shrouded in white vinyl for protection against the elements, represent the future of affordable housing construction and offer a partial solution to the Bay Area’s housing shortage.
The modules are manufactured by Factory_OS in Building 680 on Nimitz Avenue, the former home of a World War II era ship repair facility at the former Mare Island Naval Shipyard.
Factory_OS began operations in 2017 and since then has built over 1,500 modules. Many go to house workers or as low-income housing throughout the Bay Area, including The Union, a 110-unit project near the West Oakland BART Station, and the 156-unit Mayfair Project, part of a transit-oriented development next to the El Cerrito Del Norte BART Station.
The project will include 51 studio apartments, 18 one-bedroom, and 5 two-bedroom apartments on three levels above the ground floor. The complex is comprised of two buildings, linked by an aerial bridge over a landscaped plaza. The buildings will also house a property manager’s unit, support service offices, and a community meeting room. Outside amenities for the apartment residents will include a community garden, orchard, play area, dog run and patios.
