Property Description

Tamalko Homes is a 54-apartment community in Pt. Reyes Station, originally constructed in 1976 in a townhome style and used for housing U.S. Coast Guard personnel. The Coast Guard stopped using the site as housing in 2014, so it has been a little over a decade since the units were inhabited.  The Coast Guard decommissioned a site of employment nearby and thus no longer needed to house enlisted USCG members and their families in this location.  The land was authorized to be conveyed to Marin County in 2016 and was officially purchased in 2019. Eden and CLAM were chosen by Marin County as the developers in 2020 through an RFP process. Since then, additional community outreach took place, then preparation of plans and the applications for the required planning approvals (Land Use Permit and Local Coastal Permit) were submitted.  During that time the project also underwent a CEQA analysis, and the project obtained entitlements in 2024. The Project Sponsors are now working to secure the final stages of financing.  

Upon completion, the renovated Tamalko Homes will be the largest affordable housing development in West Marin, providing 54 affordable homes to low-income families and agricultural workers.

The apartments are on a 7.76 acre site with shared outdoor space, a basketball court, play structure, walking paths, laundry room in the barracks building, laundry hookups in each townhome unit, and uncovered surface parking. The scope of work includes:

• a substantial, high-quality update and re-use of 36 townhomes into affordable units
• the adaptive reuse of a former office and maintenance building into 3 affordable units
• the adaptive reuse of a former barracks building into 14 one-bedroom and 1 two-bedroom affordable units
• the adaptive reuse of the former Galley into the resident services building
• the construction of a robust community space and play places
• the development of a wastewater treatment facility to serve the Project
• façades will feature dual-pane windows and fiber cement sidingwith composition shingles for the roof material
• new HVAC, mechanical, and electrical systems
• new drought‐tolerant landscaping and water efficient irrigation

Green features will include solar panels, recycled water for irrigation, preservation of significant open space, heat pumps, energy star appliances, low flow toilets, faucets and showerheads.
