The Fruitvale Village is a “mixed-use” development, meaning that space is used by office, retail, and residential tenants. The ground floor of Fruitvale Village is home to locally-owned retail spaces. The second floor offers Office spaces for important community resources and organizations. Finally, 47 one- and two-bedroom apartments offer housing on the third floor. Of the 47 units, 10 are designated as affordable units for residents earning between 50 – 80% of the Area Median Income.
