What's Happening Now
Parkmerced is committed to protecting residents’ rent-controlled apartments for as long as they choose to live at Parkmerced.
The Parkmerced Vision involves removing and replacing all garden apartment homes within Parkmerced in phases over the next 20-25 years. Subphase 1A includes the construction of 56 replacement apartment homes for residents of to-be-replaced apartments on those blocks that will fall within later phases.
To protect our existing residents living at Parkmerced, prior to the replacement of any existing rent-controlled apartment, Parkmerced will provide the resident who lives in a to-be-replaced building with an apartment within one of the newly constructed buildings in Parkmerced.

Parking Relocation Plan
As part of the initial phases of development, the following garages and parking lots will be deconstructed in order to construct new buildings, homes, and community improvements: Arballo Circle, Felix Garage, Galindo Garage, Galindo Lot E, Galindo Lot F, and Galindo Surface Lot. Prior to the removal of these garages and lots, residents who currently park at these locations will have their parking spaces relocated to Higuera Garage.
Parkmerced is accepting Reasonable Accommodation requests to identify a parking space within a carport closer to their existing parking space. Reasonable Accommodation forms can be picked up from Resident Services at 1 Varela Ave or downloaded here. Once complete, forms must be submitted to Resident Services. Residents will be notified if their application has been approved once the Parking Relocation process has been initiated.
Residents who currently park at Higuera Garage will not have to relocate their parking space. Those affected by the Parking Relocation are guaranteed a replacement parking space within Higuera Garage. Residents will be provided a minimum 60-day notice before parking relocation is to occur.
