- Phase 2 was expected to start in 2019, but “the pandemic and financing constraints resulted in a delay in the construction schedule,” Swenson representatives wrote in a statement.

Project description for Aptos Village Phase 2
- Total units: 29, including 18 two-bedroom units, eight three-bedroom units and three one-bedroom units.
- Affordable units: Five. The developer, Swenson, is expected to decide by November 2024 whether the units will be offered for sale or for rent, said Santa Cruz County spokesperson Jason Hoppin. If the units are listed for sale, county staff plan to announce the available homes on the county website and hold a drawing to select the buyers. Santa Cruz County’s Department of Community Development and Infrastructure lists below-market-rate homes for sale on its website. Application rules are also online.
- Height: Three stories or 35 feet.
- Details: Phase 2 calls for three buildings with housing and commercial space. It includes seven commercial spaces. There is about 15,000 square feet of commercial space in Phase 2, including two spaces with infrastructure for a restaurant, Swenson representatives wrote in a statement.
- Public space: There is a 24,000-square-foot area within the 11.5-acre project that will be deeded by Aptos Village, LLC to Santa Cruz County Parks when construction is complete, Swenson representatives wrote in a statement. The space is envisioned as a public park, and county leaders are expected to decide on its specific use.
