FREMONT — An affordable housing project that could produce hundreds of homes is being eyed on empty land near a BART station in Fremont, city documents show.
The housing development, which would consist of apartments, is being proposed on a vacant parcel alongside the Warm Springs BART station.

If built, the project would produce 240 units in what is being described as a “100% affordable, multifamily building” at the corner of Warm Springs Boulevard and South Grimmer Boulevard, according to the city documents.
Maracor Development, a San Francisco-based real estate firm, has proposed the project, which would rise on a 2.9-acre site at 45021 Warm Springs Blvd.
