A mixed-use private development with multi-family and affordable housing, Redwood City Center adjacent to City Hall brings much needed housing into the downtown area. The multi-use City Center is linked to City Hall by a public plaza, providing a space for community events such as jazz concerts and art shows. An art paseo, on axis with Redwood City Hall, further strengthens the link and provides additional public space. Interior courtyards infuse the housing units with warm, natural light and humanize the scale of the architecture and opportunities provided for outdoor access.
