SAN RAFAEL, CA

Transit-oriented Senior CenterDESCRIPTION Whistlestop’s proposed Mission Plaza development will provide a new facility that will include 41 units of on-site affordable senior housing to complement its Active Aging Center and Jackson Cafe. The approximate 14,500 sqft site, located in the downtown area adjacent to the future SMART train station, will include the older adult services for Whistlestop’s extensive service program with meeting rooms, classrooms, and service offices. The project program will also include high quality amenities such as a community room, a computer center and exercise room, landscaped balconies, furnished lobbies for casual social interaction and an on-site resident manager.

VISION The impending arrival of the SMART train in the downtown area of Central San Rafael has presented Whistlestop with an opportunity to transform its current building into a transit-oriented senior center with on-site services and housing for seniors and improve the urban environment for downtown shoppers, diners and other visitors.

PROJECT REQUIREMENTS To develop a vibrant and inviting residential community with supportive services for seniors, easily served by transit.
