Work has started on Manteca’s second apartment north of Lathrop Road.

Crews are working on the foundations for a 136-unit apartment complex that will back up to Del Webb at Woodbridge on 5.6 acres along Lathrop Road west of Union Road.

There are now currently 328 apartment units under construction in Manteca. The others are the 192-unit second phase of the 406-unit The Atherton complex along Atherton Drive immediately east of Bass Pro Shops.

Three of the Manteca Luxury Apartments  buildings near the rear of the property near Del Webb homes. There are no windows on the side of the apartment buildings directly facing north where Del Webb at Woodbridge is located. There will be an 8-foot masonry sound wall at the back of the property. Two rows of parking spaces and a driveway will set the apartments away from the sound wall.

The complex’s driveway is aligned to tie into Lathrop Road with the exit from Union Square next to Raley’s to allow the installation of traffic signals. The signals would be 560 feet west of the existing signals at Union Road and Louise Avenue and 740 feet east of the Madison Grove intersection that provides access to Del Webb.

There is a long driveway between Lathrop Road and the access gate that is roughly at the site’s midpoint. There will be open space along roughly three quarters of the footage along Lathrop Road. A decorative wrought iron fence is planned for the east, west, and south sides of the complex.

There are now 2,809 apartment units either in the process of being built, approved but yet to break ground, or in the approval process.

There are five applications to build 1,551 apartments in Manteca currently under review by  the city.

*672 units on the southeast quadrant of the Main Street and 120 Bypass interchange.

 *62 units in the Yosemite complex proposed to the east of Kaiser Hospital on West Yosemite Avenue.

*472 units in the Wawona complex proposed on the west side of Airport Way between Big League Dreams and Wawona Street.

*245 units near the northwest corner of the current McKinley Avenue’s intersection with Woodward Avenue in southwest Manteca.

*100 units behind the Moose Lodge at North Main Street and Lancaster Drive.

An additional 930 units between three complexes have been entitled but have yet to start construction

Those three include the 210 units in the Soma complex proposed on the southeast corner of Atherton Drive and South Main Steet. 

Another approved complex yet to break ground is the 420-unit Prose project planned for the western extension of Center Street.

The third project is the 300-unit Union Crossing complex on the southwest corner of Union Road and Atherton Drive.
