BRIDGE pursues an ambitious goal of “quality, quantity and affordability” while meeting the growing demand for affordable housing in California's high-cost areas. We provide well-designed housing for working families and seniors in many settings and forms, from large-scale, mixed-use developments to low-rise apartment buildings designed to blend into their surrounding neighborhoods. In fact, the award-winning quality of BRIDGE developments often serves as a catalyst for transforming and revitalizing communities.

But BRIDGE isn't only about adding significant numbers of new homes to a tight housing market. Just as importantly, we make sure that the prices of our homes are within reach of people being priced out of their own neighborhoods, and include both rental apartments and for-sale homes.

But we also look at the big picture and advance innovative solutions to larger challenges that face urban and high-cost areas throughout the state.
