It’s empty land right now, but there are big plans for the corner of Salvio St. and East St. in Concord. The Concord Village Apartments will be a 230-unit apartment project with 13,700 square feet of amenity space on a 2.3 net acre site at 2400 Salvio Street and 2401 and 2471 Willow Pass Road. Right across the street is another complex, the 181-unit Argent Apartment Complex. Click HERE to learn more about that project (it’s currently under construction).

If the sum of these new buildings projects does not add retail leases to the multiple bottom floor suites, the city should force a vacancy tax/lease discount, to allow non chain businesses to flourish and serve the tenants within the building and community. Ever since the Renaissance debacle, the city planners have had zero luck getting a single business to bite on new retail in a downtown mixed use property. Find a solution VB and Birsan and Co.
BFF Out!!
There is no convenient parking for businesses on the ground floor…..go figure
When the price for a 1 Bedroom 500 Sq FT apartment is at $2500 a month minimum, everyone will need to apply for affordable housing at this point..
Oh goody … more traffic!!
Do they take into consideration the impact on infrastructure, I.e., power, water, parking, traffic, etc.?
MIKA,
.
NOPE!!!
.
The Concord City Council has sold these downtown high-rise high-density apartments as basically car-free developments. This is also how they’ve sold development of the former Concord Naval Weapons Station, by telling existing Concord residents that these new residents won’t cause further parking and traffic issues because they won’t own or travel by car, their preferred modes of travel will be walking, biking, bussing, and BARTing, but should they own or travel by car they’ll never need to leave the former CNWS property because everything they’ll need and desire in life will be found on the former CNWS property.
They should be building a parking garage there instead.
But “Just Saying”, Hey have blocked building garage parking for our hospital (which is disparately needed), you think they would approve any new garage parking structure? They want the revenue business and housing will bring. They don’t care no one will be able to access them.
COMMON SENSE?,
.
They believe cars are going away and that parking garages will be empty in the near future.
Fantasy!!
antioch made mistake of allowing high density residential.
Think they’re up to five murders already this year and over 500 vehicles stolen.
Can you say “Gridlock”?
Agenda 21/30 Plan in full effect. Just wait until traffic gets more congested, not to.mention crime increases even more rapidly. Our infrastructure is already in peril yet the City Council prostitutes just keep taking money from developers to further destroy our city.

The Concord City Council signed onto the ABAG/MTC “Plan Bay Area/One Bay Area” of a decade ago, which called for enough new downtown Concord apartment housing projects to house 22,000 new residents. Every time the Concord City Council takes an ABAG or MTC grant, which they look at as “FREE MONEY,” they come with conditions attached.
Complete Pig Stye.
Great – more high rise high density housing that will go vacant …rents will be too high …surrounding infrastructure hasn’t been improved for this just like in WC …. traffic will get incrementally worse …. why not put this kind of massive development before the voters? .. oh yeah, brings revenue to the city and in the pocket developers
Are they going to be senior apartments?

Highly unlikely! The Concord City Council is interested in attracting younger high-income earning individuals to complete their vision of downtown Concord.
Isn’t there an earthquake fault/fissure there somewhere ?
HAHAHAHA
Kind of funny…. are they waiting for Concord to meet their “affordable housing” goal before they build on the corner of Concord and Galindo only to build luxury appts. there ? “Oh wait!!!! isn’t our population in decline???”

I am so confused (sarcasm)
ANGRY AMERICAN,

This lot and the lot across the street, which is currently under construction, are privately owned, but the Galindo Street/Concord Boulevard/Clayton Road property is owned by the City of Concord, so, it’s likely to have even more affordable housing units than the privately owned properties. The last time a developer wanted to build on the property, it was the lack of affordable housing units in the propossed development that largely killed the project, but our lying, cheating, corrupt, preacher, and Assemblyman, Tim Grayson also helped to kill the deal. They do however want to make downtown Concord a high-income neighborhood.
They’re trying so hard to ruin Concord. Why?
SF OH,

It was about a decade ago that the City of Concord signed onto the ABAG/MTC “One Bay Area/Plan Bay Area” which required enough new construction apartments in downtown Concord to house 22,000 individuals. The Concord City Council refuses to push back against state government and our unelected and unaccountable regional government agencies demanding more housing be built, but they also get away with it because the citizens and residents of Concord largely have absolutely no idea what’s going on in their city until it’s too late and a project has been approved or construction has begun.
We have to get ready for the newcomers.
the next burning building
Welcome to the new Los Angeles, everyone.
Scott Weiner must be delighted.
So glad we’re gone.
Yay more apartments that people can’t afford even with multiple jobs… Might as well be a giant paper weight.
