Alder Square, the fourth phase of an ambitious re-imagining of a 1940s public housing development, will deliver 92 high-quality affordable homes for families and individuals earning 30% to 80% of the area median income.

National CORE, the Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino (HACSB) and their partners broke ground Nov. 4 for the new community, which is expected to open in mid-2027 as part of the multi-phase Arrowhead Grove redevelopment program launched in 2012.

“With the groundbreaking of Alder Square, we’re proud to continue building that momentum and delivering high-quality, affordable housing that uplifts the entire community,” HACSB Executive Director Maria Razo said. “This next phase deepens our commitment to residents and the future of San Bernardino.”

Arrowhead Grove is transforming the 38-acre Waterman Gardens public housing development, opened in 1943 in the heart of San Bernardino, into a modern community. Previous phases – Valencia Vista (2016), Olive Meadow (2017) and Crestview Terrace (2021) – already have delivered more than 300 high-quality homes.

“I’m so proud of the work we’ve accomplished through our stellar partnership with HACSB,” National CORE President Michael Ruane said. “I’m excited to see what we will accomplish together for the residents of San Bernardino with this next phase of development.”
