ED Preliminary Concept Review
May 26, 2022
Attachment II
Executive Summary
The corner of Main & B will be the future home
of a premium, 6-story mixed use development.
The ground floor will consist of retail and
parking followed by five floors of residential, all
capped by a rooftop deck, showcasing
breathtaking views of downtown Hayward and
beyond. Our goal is to deliver a cornerstone
property worthy of this central location in the
rapidly developing downtown sector.

Overview of Existing Conditions
The site is located at the Northwest corner of Main & B and is within the City of Hayward Downtown Specific Plan (DTSP) area. The lot is 7,668 sf. Frontage on B Street measures 108ft and frontage along Main Street measures 71ft. There are no existing structures on the site due to a fire in the past. There are 3 large street trees along the frontages of the site; one along Main Street and two along B Street. To the North of the lot is a 10ft wide perpetual right of way currently used as an alley way access to parking for the building to the north.
To the west is a 22ft city alley way that extends through the block.
The two intersect on the Northwest corner of the site.
Overview of Proposed Concept
Overview of Proposed Concept
The proposed project consists of removing the existing building pads and basement of the former buildings. Access to the internal parking stacker systems is proposed to be from the alleyway on the West side of the site. The main entry for the residential units is proposed on the Northeast of the Main Street frontage.
Shopfront commercial uses are proposed to wrap the corner at Main & B to the DTSP required 40ft shopfront depth from Main Street. Floors 2-6 consist of 30 residential apartments including 10 one-bedroom and 20 two-bedroom units. A large rooftop amenity space is proposed above level 6. Per the DTSP affordable units are required to be 3% low income and 3% very low income of a total of 6% affordable units. The project proposes 15% very low income in place of the 3% low and 3% very low required by Section 10-17.215. Affordable units are proposed as being distributed throughout the building and of comparable size and quality to the market rate units. Per Article 29, 15% Very Low Income units allows for 3 concessions and a parking reduction from DTSP requirement of 1 space per unit to 0.5 spaces per bedroom. The waiver currently proposed for the project is for 100% lot coverage instead of a 95% lot coverage required by the DTSP. No concessions are proposed as this time. The project reserves the right to apply up to 3 concessions and a greater number of waivers in the future permitting phases as allowed by state bonus density law mentioned above.
The project team looks forward to working with you and the department to bring this landmark building to the City of Hayward on the prominent corner of Main and B.

Is there anything in particular that the downtown area
could use from a retail standpoint?
