Project Description

A proposed achievable housing project located at 3160 North Lake Blvd, Tahoe City, CA, is moving forward with city and local agencies’ collaboration. Alpine Corporation is committed to addressing the housing needs of the community while also evaluating the project's impact on the environment and benefits to the local economy. The multi-family housing project will provide 63 deed-restricted housing options for local families, while also prioritizing sustainability, community development, and collaboration with local stakeholders.

One of the main goals of the project is the creation of attainable housing options for workforce of Tahoe City. With housing costs on the rise, the project will provide much-needed relief for residents looking for more attainable options. In addition to providing affordable housing options, the project will prioritize sustainability by incorporating energy-efficient appliances, sustainable building materials, and nearby access to public transportation with the additional goal of installing solar panels. This will help to reduce the project's environmental impact and promote a more sustainable space in the community.

Construction of the multi-unit, multi-family housing project is set to begin in the coming months, with the project expected to be completed in the next two years.

The project's developers have also emphasized the importance of collaboration in the planning process. By working with local stakeholders, the project will prioritize the needs of existing nearby businesses and optimize the space to its full extent. This will help ensure that the project is inclusive and accessible to all. Therefore, all interested stakeholders and the public are encouraged to attend upcoming outreach meetings.
