The San Jose Planning Director is expected to vote on plans for a seven-story apartment infill at 1271-1279 East Julian Street in San Jose. City staff have recommended approval for the project, which would bring 140 units to the Little Portugal neighborhood. Yi’s First Seed LLC is the project owner.

Ten Over Studio is the project architect. One establishing illustration shows the building rising over the East Julian Street thoroughfare with five levels of green fiber-cement cladding above the double-height glass lobby. The exterior will be clad with fiber cement siding, stucco, and metal screening. Isaacson Wood & Associates is the landscape architect. The firm will design the sidewalk improvements and three podium-top courtyards.
The 87-foot-tall structure will include five levels of housing above the two-story podium garage. Unit sizes will vary with 65 one-bedrooms, 40 two-bedrooms, and 35 three-bedrooms. Parking will be included for 133 cars and 106 bicycles. Bicycle parking will be on the second floor.

The nearly one-acre parcel is across from the planned train station entrance for the BART Silicon Valley Phase II extension. The 28th Street/Little Portugal station will be the first of four to connect with Berryessa Station in North San Jose. Demolition will be required for two existing bungalow-type homes.
The meeting is scheduled to start today, January 10th, at 9 AM. For more information about how to attend and participate in the virtual meeting, visit the meeting agenda here.
Construction is expected to last around twenty months, from groundbreaking to completion.
