Updated plans have been filed for an 11-story residential infill at 101 Delmas Avenue in San Jose, Santa Clara County. The project will replace a single-story structure at the corner of Delmas Avenue and West San Fernando Street with 80 homes. Christopher Hall of MANU Studios is responsible for the application.

The preliminary application plans to use Senate Bill 330 to expedite ministerial approval and increase residential capacity. Of the 80 studios, 16 will be designated as affordable to low-income households. The ground level will include a 1,300-square-foot retail space. San Jose-based Manu Studios is the project architect. Renderings shared by the Bay Area News Group show the 11-story tower with a different design for each corner. The busy facade will be articulated with setbacks, balconies, and various facade materials.

Residents will be across from the San Fernando light rail station, just one stop from Diridon Station. Downtown San Jose is just one block away under a Highway 87 overpass, near to the now-open Adobe North tower designed by Gensler. The tower may eventually be surrounded by development as part of Google’s Downtown West master plan. The 80-acre plan developed by Lendlease is expected to create around 7.3 million square feet of office space, around 4,000 homes, retail, an event space, a hotel, and 15 acres of parks. Construction was expected to have started already, but Google put the project on hold this Spring.

Great height, I hope this development sets in motion more 10+ story developments in this area. And honestly that corner store will not be missed, always rowdy folks hanging out in front making this area super sketch most of the day.
Who is the general contractor or the Construction manager for the project?
Bleh. Development in San Jose is bland as hell. There’s an attempt to form Urban Villages around the future BART stations. The TOD is bland. It just lacks the character of true-walkable neighborhoods. I feel that San Jose should sponsor the planning team to visit Northern Europe and tour the newer neighborhoods in cities like Oslo, Amsterdam and discuss city planning. Really needs a radical new approach to change my mind about the city’s future.
This is a terrific location right along the VTA line and steps from Diridon station.
Howdy! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering if you knew where I could get a captcha plugin for my comment form? I’m using the same blog platform as yours and I’m having difficulty finding one? Thanks a lot!
