Public plans have been shared for a six-story mixed-use corner project at 650 East Santa Clara Street in San Jose, Santa Clara County. The project would add 50 units, retail and office space, to the roughly half-acre parcel. Frank Chiu of HS Santa Clara LLC is listed as the project sponsor.

The 65-foot-tall structure is expected to yield around 87,750 square feet, including 50 apartments, 7,010 square feet for retail, 7,100 square feet for offices, and 15,500 square feet for the basement and second-story garage. Parking will be included for 62 cars and 24 bicycles.
Fillon Solis is responsible for the design. Illustrations show a simple poium-style complex articulated by a variety of setbacks and inset balconies. Framing of the windows will emphasize its verticality, making the structure appear like several narrower and smaller buildings.

The 0.45-acre property is located at the corner of Santa Clara Street and South 14th Street. The immediate area includes a nine-story office complex and 4.2 acres of undeveloped land where Core Companies and Eden Housing are jointly pursuing plans to construct 559 affordable units. Future residents will be just under 15 minutes away from San Jose City Hall on foot, and roughly 15 minutes away from the Five Wounds neighborhood.
The environmental review draft has been published by the City of San Jose. The city will be accepting public comments to review the next stage of environmental review between now and May 15th.

Unfortunately a group of beautiful old Spanish style buildings will be sacrificed to make way for the high rise.
Yes, the old style building removal is sad, but, 50 units is a decent number of units, on only half an acre
