Updated renderings have been shared alongside the new planset for 940 Willow Street in Willow Glen, San Jose. The project invokes the Builder’s Remedy to bring 126 units on the 0.8-acre parcel. San Francisco-based Redco Development is the project sponsor.
The 86-foot-tall structure will yield around 183,750 square feet, including 94,750 square feet for housing, 15,600 square feet of amenities, 56,200 square feet for parking, and 1,800 square feet for retail. Parking will be provided for 135 across the two-story podium garage. Of the 126 units, 26 will be designated as affordable housing. Unit types vary with 52 studios, 50 one-bedrooms, 20 two-bedrooms, and four townhome-style units at street level with three bedrooms.

Studio Current is responsible for the design. The plan set for 940 Willow Street reveals the eclectic spread of design inspiration for the architecture firm, varying from contemporary Mansard Roof infills, white-painted brick facades, and even the storefront designs of Pottery Barn and Sweetgreen.
The property is located on the south side of Willow Street between Curtiss Avenue and Kotenberg Avenue. Future residents will be just three blocks from the retail-lined Lincoln Avenue. Both Diridon Station and Santana Row are around 25 minutes away via different bus lines.

NIMBYs are the weakest trolls imaginable.
There’s no parking added. Public parking is nonexistent in the area, except for street parking which is already heavily used. If this is meant for people without cars, fine. But that’s simply unrealistic.
Did we read different articles? Because the one I read said there will be 135 spots for 126 units.
