About the project

Avalon Walnut Creek at Contra Costa Centre will bring a heart to the Contra Costa Centre Transit Village. With a residential mixed-use site plan, Avalon Walnut Creek will be built in two phases. Phase I, which started construction in August 2008, will consist of 422 residential apartments, 100 for-sale town homes, and 35,590 square feet of local serving retail (dining, convenience retail, business services and personal services). Due to the downturn in the for-sale housing market the condominium component is not expected to start construction until mid-2010 or later.
