Edes Building To Break Ground At 17395 Monterey Road In Morgan Hill, Santa Clara County

A new mixed-use project has been approved for construction at 17395 Monterey Road in Morgan Hill, Santa Clara County. The project proposes the development of a three-story building offering art gallery and retail spaces. The project pays homage to the Edes Brothers Hardware Store that occupied the site more than a century ago.

Golden Quail, LLC is the project developer. KTGY Architecture + Planning is responsible for the design concepts and construction.

Named The Edes Building, the project will bring a three-story development offering 10,000 sqaure feet of total built-up area offering retail and art gallery spaces. The new building will connect art and dining, featuring a wine bar on the first floor. A grand staircase is designed leading to the main art gallery space on the second floor. The third floor will have a five-star restaurant with rooftop lounge. The restaurant includes seating for 120 diners and it will be Morgan Hill’s first rooftop restaurant with a late-night lounge.

The traditional brick facade will be modernized with NanaWalls and backlit-perforated steel panels. The new designs ensure the building signage will reflect the heritage of the site. A recreation of an approximately 100-year-old sign will pay tribute to the Edes brothers’ hardware store constructed on the site around 1910. Mass timber is chosen for its natural finish and ability to provide larger spans.

Edes Building is designed to knit together a multi-use art gallery and a pedestrian promenade to re-engage a key downtown intersection. The interior embraces the mass timber structure and blends the warmth of the wood with an airy, modern design. Custom shelving and display units accommodate a myriad of art, including canvas and prints, jewelry, pottery and glass pieces.
