Homebuilder KB Home is built 65 two to four townhouses as part of its Walden Park project at 88 El Paseo Circle in Walnut Creek, the only new housing development in that city. The community includes a club house and pool and is less than a mile from the Pleasant Hill BART station.

2011 was a tough year for new housing in the Bay Area. That’s an understatement, really.

Almost no new large projects were built due to the housing collapse that began in 2008, meaning very few started construction in 2009 or 2010. In past years, our Real Estate Deals of the Year Awards judges have considered a bevy of large, glitzy, high profile condo towers throughout the Bay Area for the awards. Not this year.
For perhaps the first time ever, we didn’t even have a market-rate housing category that focused exclusively on San Francisco. Our reporter J.K. Dineen found that the biggest condo developments to wrap in the city in 2011 were little more than 20 units.
The biggest market-rate project — and the only one of its kind — to wrap up in all of the Bay Area in 2011 was Wood Partners’ 264 apartments in Oakland. Production of affordable housing wasn’t quite as dismal, but there were notably fewer big affordable projects as well.
That’s a sad statement for the Bay Area, which despite the soft economy, is tens of thousands of units behind in needed housing production.
