MANU Studios has submitted an updated application for the 11-story mixed-use proposal at 101 Delmas Avenue in San Jose. The filing reveals newer renderings since coverage from June of last year and introduces the Builder’s Remedy provision to expedite the approval process. If built, the project will bring 80 new homes on a small lot close to Diridon Station and Downtown San Jose.
Of the 80 apartments, 18 will be designated as affordable to low-income households. The structure is expected to yield around 48,000 square feet, including 1,350 square feet of ground-level retail.

MANU shares that the firm’s vision for the mid-rise project “not only addresses the housing crisis but also plays a vital role in rejuvenating the neighborhood, fostering a sense of unity and progress for all its residents.” The project was filed on behalf of its property owners, a family trust run by Paramjit Kaur and Surinder Singh. Demolition will be required for the existing single-story convenience store and surface parking.
The 0.2-acre lot is at the corner of Delmas Avenue and West San Fernando Street. Residents will be close to the first light rail station from the tracks leaving Diridon Station. The project was expected to be accompanied by the Downtown West development spearheaded by Google. However, there is significant doubt about the project’s future after Google and Lendlease terminated their partnership for Downtown West, Moffett Park, Middlefield Park, and North Bayshore. Each project would build millions of square feet of new office space in a region struggling to find purpose for its existing offices.
The estimated cost and timeline for construction have yet to be established.

Needlessly busy & distracting design.
Agreed. Is it really “fostering unity” in the community? Removing the orange wrap-around fins (not sure what to call them) would help.
Is that solar on top? It’s huge and looks heavy… Tall buildings should simplify as it reaches its pinnacle so pedestrians can focus on the ground elements. I’m also no sure what the point of the prison style gates on the corner. Seems unnecessary and blocks light.
The comments here are what is exactly wrong with why San Jose has ZERO character. Not needless busy or distracting. It is embracing and welcoming. Get out of your own old mentality.
Looks nice IMO
