New plans have been submitted for an eight-story apartment complex at 500 West San Carlos Street in San Jose, close to Diridon Station. The developer is considering 99 new homes and retail in a preliminary review. Abbas Haghshenas of Bay Plus Construction is listed as the project applicant.
The eight-story structure will create 99 homes above 2,670 square feet of retail. Any further details are not provided, including about parking capacity or the architect. Illustrations first shared by George Avalos for the Bay Area News Group show a podium-style infill with vertical articulation and balconies.
The 0.3-acre property is on the busy West San Carlos lane between Josefa Street and Barack Obama Boulevard. The proposal is on the same block as Delmas Park Apartments, an eight-story complex developed by the Core Companies and designed by David Baker Architects in 2007. Less than half a mile east, Eden Housing has completed the affordable Solaire Apartments at 425 Auzerais Avenue, where several dozen units are currently available to rent.

The project is on the southern edge of where Google had planned Downtown West, a masterplan to create roughly seven million square feet of offices and 4,000 homes in the predominantly industrial neighborhood surrounding Diridion Station. The project, which hoped to extend the city’s urban fabric west of CA-87, has been placed on pause after Google and Lendlease ended their joint developer agreement.
