Preliminary plans have been filed for a townhome development at 3450 Central Expressway in the Lawrence Station Area Plan in Santa Clara. The proposal would replace a low-slung commercial office structure next to Summerhill Homes’ dense residential neighborhood, Nuevo. The project applicant is not specified.
The plan calls to demolish the existing single-story office building. Once complete, the 3.4-acre parcel will be built with a series of five- and six-plex townhome structures. At full build-out, there could be 57 units, averaging around 16.7 units per acre. The scant details provided for the site extend to no information about the architect or potential design. However, most townhome projects across the region reflect the same vernacular Summerhill Homes planned in Nuevo. The three-story multi-plex structures were designed by SDG Architects with articulated exteriors and framed entrances to delineate each unit.
The Nuevo masterplan includes three apartment complexes along Lawrence Expressway. Close to 3450 Central Expressway, Westlake Urban is looking to build another apartment complex at 3517 Ryder Street. The Lawrence Station Area Plan is a master plan led by Santa Clara and neighboring Sunnyvale to build more housing and offices around the Lawrence Caltrain Station. If built, the new townhomes would bring another group of residents to the burgeoning neighborhood by transit and jobs.
