The Clearview Business Park in San Mateo was recently acquired by Harvest Properties in partnership with Stockbridge. The site, located at 3000–3155 Clearview Way, currently serves as business offices for multiple organizations, including the well-known camera company GoPro. Preliminary intentions for the site are to demolish the existing office buildings and construct up to 225 townhomes, bringing new housing to the area.

The future townhomes are to be for-sale properties, available to a range of homebuyers. The project developers have indicated that 15% of the units are to be sold as affordable housing options.
The proposal aims to create energy-efficient, drought-tolerant, and comfortably designed homes. Exterior styles will use a combination of modern and traditional architecture, tying in to the surrounding aesthetics. Public areas will include landscaped paseos, gathering areas, and a central green space.
As per a representative at Harvest Properties, the 22-acre site was selected due to the location’s ability to integrate new housing with the surrounding area. The site is located immediately adjacent to San Mateo College, with other residential neighborhoods surrounding it to the south and east.
In terms of transportation, there are several nearby bus lines that serve the area, and vehicle access to the nearby 92 freeway. There is also easy access to the Laurelwood shopping center within a short walk or drive of the future homes.

Great reuse. Good on Harvest. Would love to see more deals like this. Ideally located closer to transit so we can get some mid and high rise. Townhomes seem appropriate for here
