Solaris Apartments
Located at 24661 Amador St. in Hayward, Solaris Apartments is a 68-unit, garden-style low-rise community. Totaling 45,304 square feet of space, Solaris offers easy access to the I-880 and a Bay Area Rapid Transit station. The unit mix consists of 52 one-bedroom apartments and 16 two-bedroom apartments.

Thompson | Dorfman Partners originally acquired the property in 2008 from Amador Properties for a fee of $7.1 million.

During its stint as owner, the company added a new controlled-access gate system, new building signage, updated exterior paint and exterior lighting, replaced the air-conditioning units and renovated unit interiors.
