100 Callan | San Leandro, CA

On San Leandro's East 14th Street business district, the community has long needed a larger and more diverse set of fresh food options. The Martin Group envisions 100 Callan as an answer, and as one of the first large-scale developments in the city's Downtown area.

The project is planned as a five-story building of 196 units in Type VA construction, with a grocery store at the ground floor. Bringing housing and a full grocery together on one site requires the building to serve two very different audiences: residents who will call it home and a community that will rely on it every day. The design must also make a strong first impression as one of the first large developments in the district. BDE Architecture is partnering with The Martin Group to shape a building that meets those needs.

When complete, 100 Callan's contemporary architecture and a prominent mural by a Bay Area local artist will act as a welcoming entry to the vibrant downtown commercial district. Its ground-floor grocery will satisfy a long-standing need for fresh food, and its 196 homes will bring new neighbors to the heart of downtown San Leandro.
