Developer BXP, formally known as Boston Properties, is planning a large new housing development in North San Jose located at the corner of 2830 North First Street and East Plumeria Drive. The development plan, designed by BDE Architecture is slated to include both market-rate and affordable housing on the site of a previously planned tech campus.
The development will consist of two buildings, totaling 482 units. The proposal divides them into a four-story market-rate apartment complex with 360 rental units, and a three-story, 122-unit affordable apartment complex. The affordable units are planned for households that earn 80% or less of the area median income (AMI). The two buildings will be a mix of studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom units, giving an array of options to future tenants.

The project will result in a complete make-over for the site, requiring the demolition of multiple building pads to clear the way for the buildings and their amenities. The taller, market-rate, building will include two courtyards, a sky deck, an outdoor deck, a paseo, and other open spaces all on site. Meanwhile, the smaller affordable building would include a community playground and a courtyard.
As per The Mercury News’s reporting, BXP has indicated that these two buildings represent phase one of developing a much larger 24-acre site. Of the concepts proposed by BXP at lease one includes preliminary disclosers for housing or office structures on the other parts of the property.
