Project Overview
The Kimpton Hotel will stand on a four-story concrete podium and encompass 95,263 square feet, offering 101 thoughtfully designed guest rooms, including six luxury suites, along with a subterranean parking garage for added convenience and accessibility.

A True Collaboration

At Huff Construction, our commitment to building affordable housing is grounded in long-term partnerships and purpose-driven work. While May is recognized as Affordable Housing Month, the impact of this work stretches far beyond the calendar. It’s visible in the communities we’ve helped create, the lives we’ve touched, and the trust we’ve earned from developers across California.
This year, we’re highlighting five affordable housing communities we’ve proudly built — each one a result of close collaboration with a valued client and a shared mission to deliver quality housing that lasts.
Last month, we proudly broke ground on Pacific Avenue Senior Homes — a 79-unit senior affordable housing community in Livermore, CA. This marks our fourth project with SAHA, following Tower Park Apartments, Sunflower Hill, and Valor Village. Each of these communities reflects our strong, ongoing partnership with SAHA and a shared commitment to high-quality, resident-focused construction.
Designed by Dahlin Architecture, the four-story, Type VA wood-framed structure includes a mix of one- and two-bedroom units, common areas, and utility spaces. The U-shaped building is centered around a courtyard featuring raised garden beds, lounge seating, and a bocce ball court. Additional site improvements include ADA-compliant access, surface parking with 87 stalls, and secure bike storage.
Valor Village is a newly completed, four-story affordable housing community delivering 33 units of permanent supportive housing for low-income veterans and their families in Pinole, CA. Built from the ground up by Huff Construction, the project totals 30,603 square feet and achieved GreenPoint Rated Gold certification.
The building includes 29 one-bedroom units and four two-bedroom units, one of which serves as a dedicated manager’s unit. Amenities include a community room with a kitchen and computer station, a landscaped courtyard, a children’s play area, a community garden, and secure bike storage.
Lightfighter Village is a three-story, 71-unit affordable housing development serving veterans and their families in Marina, CA. The community includes 64 studio units and 7 two-bedroom family apartments, all rented to low- and extremely-low-income veterans. Built for EAH Housing, the project is designed to support long-term housing stability through both environment and service.
Residents benefit from on-site amenities including a community room, fitness center, meditation room, computer lab, pet wash station, and laundry facilities. Additional outdoor features include a courtyard, community garden, play structure, and solar carports.
Archway Commons is a 150-unit affordable housing community built in two phases for EAH Housing. Phase I, completed in 2013, includes 76 one-, two-, and three-bedroom units with a clubhouse, swimming pool, barbeque areas, tot lot, computer learning center, and bicycle storage. All ground-floor units are ADA-compliant and GreenPoint Gold certified.
Phase II, completed in 2022, added 74 additional units across nine two-story buildings and achieved GreenPoint Platinum certification. The project also targets Zero Net Energy, with rooftop and carport-mounted solar designed to offset 100% of the energy use for common and residential areas. Nearly 40% of subcontractors on this phase were sourced from Stanislaus County, reflecting our investment in the local economy.
The Retreat Apartments is a 119-unit affordable housing community located on 4.98 acres in Merced, CA. Comprised of five wood-framed, three-story buildings totaling 117,224 square feet, the project includes 30 permanent supportive housing units for extremely low-income residents, as well as 88 units for low-income individuals and families — plus an on-site manager’s unit.
Units are designed with open-concept kitchens, spacious layouts, and large walk-in closets. The development is GreenPoint Gold rated and includes a resort-style pool, fitness center, tot lot, dog park, community gardens, laundry facilities, and photovoltaic solar canopies. Through value engineering, Huff’s team helped save approximately 9% of the initial budget — delivering measurable value to our client, The Richman Group.
A Continued Commitment
Each of these communities represents more than construction — they’re the result of lasting relationships, careful planning, and a shared belief that housing should be safe, accessible, and built to last. We’re proud to partner with mission-driven developers like SAHA, EAH Housing, and The Richman Group to deliver affordable housing across California.

Construction is moving fast at the Devonwood Affordable Housing project in Merced, CA. With all five residential buildings now standing, this 156-unit development is well on its way to becoming a vibrant new community for individuals, families, and special needs residents.
Devonwood: A Community in the Making
This mixed-income project includes 117 units for low-income households and 39 units for special needs residents, along with thoughtfully designed amenities such as a clubhouse, business center, central laundry, recreation areas, and a swimming pool. Every element has been planned to support both quality of life and long-term community connection.
A Strong Partnership with The Richman Group
Huff Construction is proud to partner once again with The Richman Group, a valued repeat client. Devonwood marks our second affordable housing project with The Richman Group in Merced.

Watch the Project Video
Project Overview
Formerly referred to as Pinole Housing, Valor Village was constructed from the ground up using Type 5 wood-frame construction and totals 30,603 square feet. The project was completed on time and with care at every phase, from mobilization through final turnover.
Designed by Studio T-Square, the building is certified GreenPoint Rated Gold, reflecting its high-performance construction and long-term energy efficiency. Inside, residents have access to a community room with a kitchen and computer station, while outdoor spaces include a courtyard, garden, and areas for connection and recreation.
As the general contractor, Huff Construction was responsible for executing every detail—from foundations and framing to finishes and site improvements. We’re grateful to our valued repeat client, SAHA, for trusting us to help bring this important community to life.
More Than Housing
Valor Village stands as a reflection of what’s possible when experienced teams come together to build with purpose. It’s not just about units and square footage—it’s about creating a supportive, dignified place for veterans to call home.
Veterans Housing That Builds Community and Lasting Stability
We’re proud to announce the completion of Lightfighter Village, a new affordable housing community in Marina, CA, dedicated to veterans and their families. This 71-unit development was thoughtfully designed and constructed to provide not just housing—but a place to call home—for those who have served our country.
As the general contractor, Huff Construction was honored to work alongside EAH Housing and Veterans Transition Center of California (VTC) to bring this transformative community to life. From day one, this project has been about more than buildings—it’s about people, stability, and dignity.
A Space Designed with Veterans in Mind
Lightfighter Village offers a mix of studio and two-bedroom apartments to support a range of needs. But it’s the details that make this community truly special. Residents have access to a wide array of on-site amenities, including:
A community room and computer lab
A meditation space and fitness center
A laundry facility and pet wash station
Outdoor gathering areas to promote connection
Every element was designed to provide comfort, support, and a sense of belonging.
Collaboration and Trust
We’re grateful to our long-standing partner, EAH Housing, and their co-developer, the Veterans Transition Center of California, for placing their trust in our team. We also extend our appreciation to the local trade partners and professionals who helped ensure that every aspect of construction reflected the quality and care this community deserves.
Projects like Lightfighter Village remind us why we do what we do. They highlight the power of construction to strengthen communities, restore hope, and create meaningful, lasting impact.
Building Excellence, Every Step of the Way
Lightfighter Village reflects our core values at Huff Construction—integrity, quality, and a deep commitment to those we serve. We’re proud to have played a role in creating a place where veterans and their families can thrive.

Delivering Purpose-Built Spaces for Lasting Impact
Huff Construction is proud to announce the completion of the Sierra Vista South Modesto Wellness Center, a facility designed to bring essential services to families, youth, and individuals in need. Built in partnership with Sierra Vista Child & Family Services, this project provides a welcoming space for mental health support, restorative justice practices, and family services in South Modesto.
This project was made possible through grant funding from the Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program (BHCIP), which supports the expansion of community-based behavioral health facilities across California. As a design-build project, Huff Construction worked closely with Sierra Vista to lead the development through both design and construction, ensuring a seamless process from concept to completion.
Watch the complete video of the project:
A Community Resource Designed for Impact
The 4,875-square-foot wellness center was designed with flexibility and functionality in mind to support a wide range of programs. Key features include:
🔹 Flexible meeting spaces for family and youth support programs 🔹 A dedicated podcast studio to enhance outreach and education efforts 🔹 A collaborative environment designed to foster engagement and long-term community impact
“The Community Wellness and Youth Prevention Center marks an exciting new chapter for the community in South Modesto. By increasing information, access, and quality services, this center can be a model of transformation and strength for under-resourced communities.” – Andrew Timbie, CEO, Sierra Vista Child & Family Services
Expanding Access Through Grant Funding
The Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program (BHCIP), which provided grant funding for this project, is focused on closing critical gaps in mental health and substance use disorder treatment. Sierra Vista Child & Family Services was one of 52 organizations awarded BHCIP funding through the Round 4: Children and Youth grant, which supports projects dedicated to expanding services for individuals up to age 25 and their families.
With additional Proposition 1 funding becoming available in 2025 and 2026, more organizations will have the opportunity to develop purpose-driven facilities like this one. Huff Construction welcomes the opportunity to partner with other organizations pursuing grant-funded projects to enhance community services.
A Commitment to Building Excellence
At Huff Construction, we believe in building spaces that serve a greater purpose and bring lasting value to the communities we serve. The Sierra Vista South Modesto Wellness Center is more than just a building—it’s a place where families can find support, resources, and opportunities to thrive.
Supporting the Mission of Sierra Vista Child & Family Services
Since 1972, Sierra Vista Child & Family Services has been a cornerstone of support for Central Valley communities. Their mission is to provide lifesaving and life-changing services for children and families facing significant challenges. This new facility expands their ability to connect, educate, and empower individuals seeking guidance and assistance.
With the completion of this project, the Sierra Vista South Modesto Wellness Center is now ready to serve individuals and families who need it most. This facility is a testament to the power of community partnerships and the dedication to creating purpose-driven spaces that make a difference.
Huff Construction is honored to have played a role in bringing this vision to life. We look forward to seeing the positive impact this center will have for generations to come.
