The Agency has aggressively sought to build quality multi-family housing throughout the City. Projects have ranged from stylish modern loft units to historic renovations. Some of the Agency’s most cherished multi-family housing projects are displayed below.

Merced Lofts

The Merced Lofts (M-Lofts) are an exciting new urban life project. This 3 story downtown building provides 6 retail storefronts and 14 live/work loft units where up to two people may live in and experience the numerous amenities available in downtown Merced. The project was Merced’s first major loft project, a trendy design concept which makes use of high ceilings and large windows to create an open airy ambience, perfect for work at home professionals, artists and students. 
 

Merced Theatre Residential

The Redevelopment Agency is actively working to restore the Merced Theatre building. The first phase of rehabilitation included a complete restoration of the 10 residential units and 6 retail Main Street storefronts.  This mixed use project provides residents the opportunity to live and work in what is considered to be the active lifestyle center of Merced.   The Merced Theatre residential units are high in quality and historial ambiance.  Parking is conveniently located and lease rates are very competitive for the area. 

The Grove

The Grove Apartments is a high quality affordable housing complex, residents are able to enjoy numerous playgrounds, a pool, a community hall, a computer lab and numerous yards complete with shade trees. The 204 units are divided into 51 two-story buildings. Construction on the facility began in 2003 and opened shortly thereafter in 2004.

Developed by AHDC Development of Clovis, the project combined numerous funding sources, including $6.2 million from the City of Merced and the Redevelopment Agency.
