Redwood City's Next Big Move: Mixed-Use Hub Takes Over Old Century Theater Site 🍿🏗️

12/5/25

Redwood City is transforming its Bayshore area with a major mixed-use project rising on the former Old Century Theater site, just off Highway 101 near the Whipple exit. This long-underutilized space is on its way to becoming a vibrant community destination, blending much-needed housing with a state-of-the-art recreational hub.

Housing and Affordability 🏘️🔑

The development includes two new residential buildings totaling 480 apartments, with 85 units reserved for affordable housing, a meaningful contribution to Silicon Valley’s ongoing housing shortage.

A New Recreational Anchor 🏊‍♀️🧘

At the heart of the project is the new 97,000-square-foot Villa Sport athletic club and spa.
This premium facility will offer:

  • Multiple pools
  • A full-service day spa
  • Modern fitness and wellness amenities

Villa Sport is set to reshape the energy of the Bayshore area, and yes, it will be open to the public.

Connecting the Community to the Bay 🌊🚶

The project also includes important public improvements, such as:

  • New lookout decks
  • An enhanced connection to the Bay Trail

These additions unlock more waterfront access and create new opportunities for recreation and nature enjoyment along the Bay.

A Vision for a Revitalized Bayshore

This mixed-use hub marks a major step in fulfilling Redwood City’s long-term vision for this previously underused site, bringing together housing, recreation, and public space in one dynamic destination.
