FRESNO, Calif. \u2013 A new housing complex is coming to an area in Fresno that has not had it before.<\/p>\n

City leaders broke ground on Monday for new apartments known as The Park at South Stadium.<\/p>\n

The 174-unit complex is being built on Fulton Street in downtown Fresno just steps from Chukchansi Park \u2014 a stadium with a capacity of 10,650. It will offer housing to people across a range of income levels.<\/p>\n

Fresno Mayor Jerry Dyer said 70 units will be dedicated as affordable to residents at least 55 years. He said the new housing will help make a “vibrant downtown.”<\/p>\n

“We all know that great cities have great downtowns, and we are well on our way in Fresno to having a great downtown,” Dyer said.<\/p>\n

He has routinely made the comment as he has secured funding to revitalize downtown Fresno. California alone has dedicated $250 million<\/a> for improvements. Downtown Fresno has been a project of many mayors.<\/p>\n

Dyer wants to grow downtown by up to 10,000 people.<\/a> It\u2019s an ambitious plan that seeks to reverse a long trend of decline and traffic to the area as residents have favored northern parts of the city over the decades.<\/p>\n

The latest housing project will cost over $81 million. It will be funded through bond financing, a local housing fund and other loans. It is expected to be completed in June 2028.<\/p>\n

Dyer said he hopes these units attract young people in particular.<\/p>\n

“Imagine watching a Grizzlies game or a concert from your own home. That is exactly the kind of urban living experience we have envisioned for downtown Fresno for many years,” Dyer said at a press conference.<\/p>\n

The housing project had come up at city hall several years ago, but it failed at least twice before it was officially approved.<\/p>\n

Fresno City Councilmember for District 3, Miguel Arias, said the first push to build the housing complex was already funded and had secured the necessary permits.<\/p>\n

But it could not move forward due to a split council in 2022.<\/p>\n

The second effort at building the housing was planned as a partnership with the State Center Community College District, according to Arias.<\/p>\n

That also never materialized. But Arias said he\u2019s excited about the new development.<\/p>\n

“Hundreds of families will call this home, like I’ve called it home for more than 20 years,” Arias said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FRESNO, Calif. \u2013 A new housing complex is coming to an area in Fresno that has not had…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":433410,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[5242,24804,67586,1053,17774,112,57009,3849,114,113,30161,90451],"class_list":["post-433409","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fresno","tag-affordable","tag-apartments","tag-chukchansi-park","tag-city-of-fresno","tag-downtown-fresno","tag-fresno","tag-fresno-city","tag-fresno-city-hall","tag-fresno-headlines","tag-fresno-news","tag-fulton-street","tag-the-park-at-south-stadium"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/433409","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=433409"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/433409\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/433410"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=433409"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=433409"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=433409"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
