Located in East Oakland, Lion Creek Crossings is the comprehensive redevelopment and revitalization of Coliseum Gardens, formerly a distressed public housing development. This transformative development serves as a catalyst for future transit-oriented development around the Coliseum BART station in Oakland, financed as part of a HOPE VI Grant to the Housing Authority of the City of Oakland. A public-private partnership with East Bay Asian Local Development Corporation (EBALDC) and the Oakland Housing Authority, this 10-year development built over five phases is situated around a 5.7 acre public park with a basketball court, children's play area, natural creek, 12,000 square foot community center that is home to a HeadStart center, child care center, state-of-the-art computer lab, after school program and family resource center.  Lion Creek Crossings reconnected the community to transit and open space.  Two new bridges strengthen the neighborhood connection to regional transit and allow pedestrian access. 

Phase four is a development of 72 affordable family apartments and 2,800 square feet of community and social services space. The apartments are spread between townhome units and flats that are located in the new building that fronts the extension of Lion Way. The unique wrapped design incorporates a podium structure that houses one parking space per apartment.  One-half of the parking spaces are accessed through a parking lift that maximizes the space in the building.  There is a rooftop courtyard on the podium structure for residents to enjoy, and a secondary outdoor area with a small children’s play structure is located at the ground level adjacent to one of the laundry rooms so that parents can monitor their children’s play.
