Cal Weber Commercial

Location: Stockton, California

Type: Commercial

Status: Completed

Cal Weber 40 Commercial is the ground floor retail portion of a mixed-use building located at the intersection of N. California St. and E. Weber Avenue in Stockton, CA.

The development of this mixed-use project began with two existing buildings known as the  McKeegan building and the Cal Weber building. These buildings were in serviceable condition and were well suited for an adaptive re-use approach, which would facilitate the city’s long-term goal of revitalizing the downtown area. Adaptive re-use is the method of development with the smallest carbon footprint and therefore the “greenest” construction method. This allowed for a compressed budget as well as a way to preserve the history of the city with the partial conservation of the original structure. The method also sets a good example for the future redevelopment of downtown Stockton.

DFA developed this building with its affiliate, Trinity Development and Construction, at the helm of the rehabilitation and construction. In order to address the city’s needs, DFA brought a mixed-use project to life in the heart of downtown Stockton with 100% affordable housing above sufficient retail space for local businesses to thrive. A bakery, a hair salon, a mobile phone store, a furniture store, a market, and a restaurant are bringing life to the local economy in downtown Stockton.
