Siena Court

Pittsburg, CA

Project Overview

Siena Court is a mixed-use project in downtown Pittsburg that represents a true public-private partnership to revitalize an area decimated by the Great Recession.

The development filled a vacant parcel central to Old Town Pittsburg, providing homes, jobs, and social services in a sustainable building.

Siena Court consists of 111 new affordable apartments for seniors, a senior center offering resident services, as well as approximately 10,000 square feet of ground floor retail along a key downtown commercial corridor.

The significant undertaking at Siena Court also represents the swan song of redevelopment efforts in which the City of Pittsburg Redevelopment Agency leveraged over $21 million in state and private investment with $10.5 million in redevelopment funds to bring Siena Court to fruition.

Siena Court Senior Apartments continue the redevelopment efforts in Downtown Pittsburg by filling a vacant parcel central to Old Town.  The project consists of 110 affordable senior apartments as well as a senior center and ground floor retail along Railroad Avenue.

Green features include accommodations for 100% stormwater runoff retention and an expansive green roof. The property also includes a variety of amenities, including on-site fitness center, library, and community room for educational, recreational, and computer learning classes and case management.
