BAY POINT, CONTRA COSTA COUNTY — November 7, 2026. Contra Costa County has broken ground on a $128 million development in Bay Point combining 167 affordable rental homes with a new public library.

Homes and transit access

The Orbisonia Village development is planned within walking distance of the Pittsburg/Bay Point BART station. Its proposed housing includes studios and one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, providing a range of unit sizes for eligible households. Affordable housing programs typically have income and application requirements; the announcement does not mean apartments are ready for occupancy now.

First county-built library in five decades

The associated 20,900-square-foot Bay Point Library would have a children’s room, teen area, maker space, study rooms and community meeting rooms. County officials describe it as their first new county-built library in 50 years.

Construction and opening targets

The project is expected to continue through 2028, with the library anticipated to open in spring 2029. Dates can change as construction proceeds. Residents should consult county housing and library notices for eligibility, applications, traffic impacts and contractor progress rather than assume units or library programs are already operating.
