Airport Way and Yosemite Avenue is emerging as ground zero for future apartment development in Manteca.

Plans for a seventh apartment complex project within a half mile radius of the intersection was submitted to the city last month.

The envisioned 96-unit Center Pointe Apartments is proposed for 3.7 acres at 282 North Airport Way.

It is immediately south of where work is now underway on 114 duplexes and two single family homes that was part of a development partially bordering the southern boundary of the municipal golf course.

Both the Center Pointe Apartments and the duplex development will border a segment of the Center Street alignment at Airport Way.

That will then leave the stretch of Center Street missing from the end of those two projects to where the street now dead-ends at the Stonegate Apartments just west of Trevino Avenue.

Other apartment projects proposed  in the area include:

*the 24-unit Waterfall Apartments bordering the north side of the duplex project and the recently completed 99-home Yosemite Greens neighborhood that runs the length of the western edge of the golf course.

*a 44-unit complex on 1.25 acres tucked behind existing homes on the western end of Wawona Street. The proposed complex at 2027 Wawona Street will be accessed from the north side of the street, five homes east of Airport Way.

*260 units dubbed Yosemite Family Apartments on 9.6 acres on West Yosemite Avenue across from Kaiser Hospital. They are planned for 9.26 acres sandwiched between a business park on the southwest corner of Winters Drive  and Yosemite Avenue and the Masa Latina restaurant.

*62-units envisioned west of Kaiser Hospital on the northwest corner of Fishback Road and Yosemite that was approved in mid-2023.

*420 units in the Prose project planned for the western extension of Center Street. Part of the apartment complex will front Yosemite Avenue immediately east of Kaiser.

*a proposed complex west of Airport Way at 2210 West Yosemite that will include retail commercial along Yosemite with apartments behind it.

Altogether, the projects represent more than 900 additional apartment units.

The city last month also received plans from HOPE Family Shelter for a two-story complex that includes six apartments and rooms dedicated to serving the families that will stay there as well as the existing shelter apartment complex on the southeast corner of Sequoia and Yosemite avenues.
