GEICO will handle demolition of the existing building, and construction will generally begin along Willard Avenue and move toward Western Avenue. While active construction areas will be closed off for safety, EYA will work to maintain pedestrian access through the site wherever possible.

The condo buildings are expected to take about one year, the apartment building about two years, and townhomes will be delivered in phases of 40–80 per year, with the full project buildout estimated at approximately 4–5 years.

Beyond evaluating how the new development affects local schools, it will also identify any strategies, if necessary, to minimize these impacts.

The apartment building will be about 7 stories (up to 85 feet) and the condos about 6 stories, both shorter than the existing GEICO building. The design intentionally steps down in height from Willard Avenue toward the Brookdale neighborhood to create a more compatible transition.

EYA is actively studying visual impacts and exploring design solutions such as geothermal systems (which would eliminate rooftop condensers), solar panels, and reflective roofing to improve both sustainability and overall appearance from surrounding buildings.

The placement is intentional to align with the higher-density buildings across the street and create a logical transition in scale, stepping down to townhomes and then to the adjacent single-family homes.

No, the project is not expected to utilize the Commercial-to-Residential expedited approval process and will not rely on a PILOT subsidy.

The project will be fully electric and is exploring additional measures such as geothermal energy and solar panels, building on EYA’s history of incorporating sustainable design practices.

While Phase 1 is focused on residential uses and open space, EYA is open to incorporating community-serving amenities such as a library or gathering space in Phase 2, based on community input and future planning guidance.

The current GEICO office generates more traffic than the proposed residential use and will work with the County to address traffic through required studies and mitigation measures as needed.

Townhomes will include two spaces per unit, condos will have one space each, and apartments will likely have about one space per unit, with additional guest parking provided along internal streets and bike infrastructure integrated throughout the site.

Yes, the project is expected to exceed minimum requirements and include a mix of low- and moderate-income units, primarily within the apartment building and some townhomes, with unit types ranging from studios to three bedrooms.

Utilities will be upgraded and relocated as needed without interrupting service, and the project will introduce a new comprehensive stormwater management system to capture, treat, and control runoff—significantly improving existing conditions on the site.

EYA plans to enhance the park with new amenities and better access points, then dedicate it to the County for long-term maintenance, and is actively seeking community input on features such as playgrounds, passive spaces, and dog areas.

Approximately two-thirds of existing trees are expected to be preserved, with about 650 new trees planted, and EYA will also consider preserving features like the existing creek and incorporating native landscaping.

EYA is under contract to acquire the site and has paid a deposit, with closing expected after GEICO completes demolition of the existing building.

Townhomes are currently anticipated to be priced between approximately $1 million and $2 million.

Phase 2 is still being defined and will depend on the upcoming Sector Plan, but is expected to include additional multifamily housing, ground-floor retail, and potentially a community gathering space.

Residents will have additional opportunities through public hearings, direct meetings with EYA, and providing feedback through our comment portal on the website.
