New renderings have been published along with the release of the public review draft for 972 Elm Street, a residential villas project located just south of the Mineta San Jose International Airport. The project would increase the site density from a single-family unit to eight townhomes across the 0.44-acre site. Fahed Hbayeb Planning and Design is responsible for the project design.

The eight-unit development will yield 20,370 square feet, with 17,600 square feet for residential use and 2,760 square feet for garages. The eight units will each be detached with four bedrooms with private open spaces and parking for two cars. Each structure rises three floors to contain between 1,863 to 2,566 square feet.

Facade material will include wooden panels, exterior paint, and stucco. The roof tiling and front doors will contribute to the project’s Spanish Colonial Revival aesthetic. Gregory Lewis Landscape Architect will be working with Fahd Haybeb Associates in creating a water-efficient planting scheme. GPM Engineers is serving as the project civil engineer.
