Senior apartment project breaks ground at Richmond site of Japanese nurseries Miraflores Senior Apartments is part of a greater, 14-acre, master-planned development to include a market-rate, homeownership project By TOM LOCHNER East Bay Times (CA) May 23, 2017 RICHMOND — Ground has broken on Miraflores Senior Apartments, an 80-unit, nonprofit project on the former site of Japanese family-owned flower nurseries that survived beyond World War II. The project will occupy a single, two-story wood-frame structure, on a 1.56-acre parcel at 4855 Wall Ave. at South 49th Street just west of Interstate 80. All but one of the apartments will be one-bedroom, with a kitchen, living area and full bathroom, each totaling a little over 500 square feet, and will be accessible to people in wheelchairs. The remaining apartment will be for an onsite manager. There will be a community room, outdoor courtyard garden, computer lab, fitness room and laundry room. … Additionally, years of use of pesticides and other substances by the nurseries contaminated the soil and groundwater, requiring extensive cleanup, including soil excavation, groundwater monitoring and removal of underground storage tanks. … For the entire article, see http://www.eastbaytimes.com/2017/05/23/senior-apartment-project-breaks-ground-at-richmond-site-of-japanese-nurseries/ -- Lenny Siegel Executive Director Center for Public Environmental Oversight a project of the Pacific Studies Center P.O.
