Village at Novato | Novato

This mixed-use project would develop 14,000 square feet of retail space and 178 new residential units, including 25 affordable below market rate units. The buildings consist of one 3-story building with retail on the ground floor, and 26 residential units on the upper two floors, and two 4-story buildings with a combined total of 152 residential units. Additional site improvements include frontage improvements along Redwood Blvd. (i.e., sidewalk, parking, and bike lane), an outdoor plaza area, and a common area landscaped green space. On-site parking includes 263 residential parking spaces and 183 commercial parking space (including the existing Trader Joe’s parking). Additionally, 19 on-street parking spaces are proposed.

The project has been in the planning phase since 2020, and was approved in early 2024. The firm developing the project was bought by Blackstone, which has delayed the project.
