Construction will clear a 40,500 square foot area occupied by an existing residence, a dilapidated structure, two sheds, and a barn. The property is less than a mile from the existing Winchester Mystery House, the historic epicenter for new commercial and residential development in the Santana Row / Valley Fair Urban Village.

1065 South Winchester Boulevard, meanwhile, is within the Winchester Boulevard Urban Village Plan. I-280 separates the two villages. Urban Villages has been San Jose’s approach to creating new density at various nexus points across the sprawling city. According to the urban village plan, the city drafts each one to promote, “ active, walkable, bicycle-friendly, transit-oriented, mixed-use urban settings for new housing and job growth attractive to a variety of people.”
