Peninsula Station is the result of a visionary partnership between the City of San Mateo, the County of San Mateo and MidPen Housing. Pen Station received the 2011 Green Building Award from Sustainable San Mateo County, reflecting the commitment to sustainability shared by key partners. Built on the site of a former Good Year Tire Center, Pen Station is now a vibrant, mixed-use community with a large central courtyard featuring two play areas for children, podium landscaping and space for a community garden. Located a quarter mile from the Hillsdale Caltrain Station and across the street from Hillsdale Shopping Center, Pen Station provides transit-oriented housing, which supports the Grand Boulevard Initiative to transform El Camino Real into a safe and welcoming place to live, work and play.
