Developed by R Group and completed in June 2012, Millwheel South is a mixed-use mid-rise development featuring two buildings arranged around a central landscaped courtyard. The property name honors two historic millwheels discovered on the site before construction began. Millwheel South sold out in just four weeks upon completion, demonstrating strong demand for quality housing in this emerging neighborhood.
The development comprises 32 modern condominiums with one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom floor plans ranging from approximately 1,144 to 1,360 square feet. Units feature contemporary finishes including wide-plank wood flooring with carpet in bedrooms, gourmet kitchens with Caesarstone countertops, Belmont cabinetry, Frigidaire stainless steel appliances including gas ranges, oversized breakfast bars, in-unit washer/dryer, Elfa closet organization systems, and high ceilings up to 10 feet.

Millwheel South residences offer flexible layouts with units spanning their respective buildings or facing either the quiet central courtyard or Minnesota/Indiana Streets. Eastern-facing units in the 1280 Minnesota building provide views toward San Francisco Bay while minimizing traffic noise from nearby Highway 280. Many homes feature open floor plans ideal for entertaining, with spacious living areas, gas fireplaces, and abundant natural light from large windows.
Each residence includes deeded garage parking (buyers could originally opt out for a $25,000 price reduction), additional secured storage cages, elevator access, and high-speed Webpass internet connectivity. The eco-friendly building design emphasizes energy efficiency and sustainable urban living.
Millwheel South provides essential amenities including a landscaped central courtyard between the two buildings, elevator service, secured lobby access with gated security, deeded two-car garage parking, individual storage units, and low monthly HOA dues that reflect the building's modest amenity package—ideal for buyers who don't require extensive shared facilities.
