"California recently expanded ADU capacity on multifamily parcels through SB 1211, which passed last year and took effect at the beginning of 2025. The legislation increases the cap on ADUs on multifamily properties from 2 to 8, effectively adding infill opportunities to already-operating rental communities. The measure also simplified the permitting process, giving municipalities a set of state-required rules for reviewing ADUs on multifamily sites."
"Think about if they've got a triangle over in the corner, or if they've got a fountain that they put up years ago that they don't even use anymore. Maybe they put up 22 tennis courts when tennis courts were hot, and they only need six now. That's where there's excess space, McNamara said. Samara, which spun off from Airbnb in 2022, has ADUs of varying sizes, including single units and duplexes. This product's variability gives multifamily owners flexibility when expanding their rental properties."
Samara will team with Prometheus to add accessory dwelling units to five multifamily communities in the San Francisco Bay Area. California expanded ADU capacity on multifamily parcels through SB 1211, effective 2025, raising the cap from two to eight ADUs per multifamily property and simplifying permitting with state-required review rules. The change enables multifamily operators to repurpose underutilized land and create new rental opportunities, increasing housing supply and incremental yield without additional land cost. Samara, spun off from Airbnb in 2022, offers modular ADUs in varied sizes, including single units and duplexes, that install rapidly and minimize tenant disruption. The Prometheus deal targets more than 50 ADUs in Silicon Valley communities.
