Fremont to Hold Groundbreaking Friday for New Downtown Project

FREMONT, CA - City leaders plan to break ground Friday on Locale @ State Street, Downtown’s first mixed-use project. 

The Locale @ State Street mixed-use project will span across six acres and include 157 residential units, consisting of stacked flats and rowhomes. The community’s amenities will include outdoor spaces with barbecues, lush landscaping and seating areas for residents to gather, as well as a fitness studio and bike share program. The development will also include nearly 21,000 square feet of ground floor, street-front retail and restaurant space along Capitol Avenue – creating a vibrant urban experience.

“Our goal is to produce high quality housing located near jobs, transportation and existing services. Residents will enjoy an exceptionally designed community, as well as a convenient lifestyle in this centric location,” said Robert Freed, CEO of SummerHill Housing Group. “We are proud to put our name and reputation on Locale @ State Street, Fremont’s first mixed-use development in Downtown Fremont.”

Fremont City Manager, Fred Diaz, Fremont Mayor Bill Harrison and Katia Kamangar, executive vice president and managing director of SummerHill Homes will all participate.

The ceremony will take place at 4 p.m. on the corner of Capitol Avenue and State Street.

The celebration will continue into the evening with Fremont Street Eats, a gourmet food truck event produced by the Fremont Chamber of Commerce and Food Truck Mafia. Event parking is available off of Fremont Boulevard in the lot between Fremont Bank and the Original Pancake House.
