The owner is Impact Residential Development, and the developer is Tableau Development Company. Construction is expected to begin soon, though a specific timeline has not yet been announced.

The project includes 125 apartments and a public café across multiple three-story buildings, comprising 124 affordable rental units and one market-rate unit for the on-site property manager. The design is by LPAS Architects. The affordable housing is targeted at households earning between 30% and 70% of the area median income. The project provides 189 parking spaces (including 124 residential spaces and 63 spaces reserved for the existing grocery store) and 177 bicycle parking spaces. Unit types include 45 one-bedroom, 48 two-bedroom, and 32 three-bedroom units. Future residents will be near a Highway 101 interchange and a bus stop, with access to downtown San Rafael within 30 minutes via public transit or bicycle.

The project team received $7.5 million from the Marin County Affordable Housing Trust Fund and $2.5 million from the County Road and Bridge Fund for streetscape and traffic improvements along Marinwood Avenue. The construction period is expected to last approximately 18 months.
