An affordable housing development that could produce hundreds of apartments in Fremont is moving forward after a real estate alliance bought the land needed for the project. USA Properties Fund and Riverside Charitable Corp., through an affiliate, paid $11.5 million to buy most of the parcels that would be required, documents filed on May 15 with the Alameda County Recorder’s Office show. The project at 37352 Fremont Blvd., known as Centerville Plaza Apartments, would include 290 apartments, city documents show. Planned for Fremont’s Centerville district on a site bounded by Fremont Boulevard, Peralta Boulevard, Parish Avenue, and Jason Way, all the units would be affordable, city files show. Along with housing, the project is slated to include 5,100 square feet of ground-floor retail.
The city has another cricket facility in Central Park, with synthetic turf, lights, benches and rental fees for leagues and private events, but “cannot meet the reservation requests for organized cricket play and youth cricket participation continues to grow,” Bosques said. “Adding a youth-only cricket field to the citywide park system would help meet that emerging need.” While officials have still not decided whether to allow cricket at Palm Avenue Community Park, some sort of sports field or complex will almost certainly be built there to “meet industry safety standards.” A 750-square-foot barn, believed to have been built as early as 1905, will remain, city officials said. But nearby homeowners are worried flying cricket balls — which each weigh about five ounces — could injure a child or elderly person or damage homes or cars. “I don’t see how this is really needed, Leung said. “We’re not against cricket, it’s just way too close … You can’t use the park for any other purpose if you have cricket games going at the same time.”
