New renderings have been published for Menlo Flats, an eight-story residential infill located at 165 Jefferson Drive in Menlo Park, San Mateo County. The project will replace a single-story office building with housing, offices, public open space, and parking.

Heller Manus Architects is the design architect, with BDE Architecture operating as the architect of record. PGAdesign is the landscape architect, and BKF will be the project’s engineer. The architectural design features several steps and setbacks away from the street level to avoid imposing mass over pedestrians. Residential amenities will include a fitness-oriented podium with a pool, public plazas, and outdoor entertainment space. Facade materials will consist of stucco, fiber cement panels, aluminum, and metal panels.
