Bakersfield housing developer Sage Equities has begun site work in preparation for its fourth market-rate apartment community in downtown’s Eastchester neighborhood, this time in partnership with a Fresno company.

Eastbank Flats is planned to be a three-story, 50-unit complex with a resort-style pool, dog park, elevator, fully equipped wellness center and interior corridors. It will be located a block north of Truxtun Avenue along Mill Creek at the longtime home of Congregation B’nai Jacob, which will be the focus of a small monument at the site.
