With the help of Resources for Community Development (RCD), Rockridge Geotechnical is happy to announce that two projects have recently started construction at our sites. The Rick Judd Commons development recently broke ground at 1315 Galindo Street in Concord, and it will create 62 new affordable one-, two-, and three-bedroom homes in a transit-rich area. Meanwhile, Bell Street Gardens at 4101 Mowry Avenue in Fremont also just started construction, and this project will provide 126 new affordable units across two buildings. Both the Rick Judd Commons and Bell Street Gardens will provide amenities at their residences, such as community rooms, supportive services, and shared courtyards and patios.
