Preliminary permits have been filed for affordable workforce housing at 1033 North Wolfe Road in Cupertino, Santa Clara County. The proposal will bring over two hundred homes to a vacant lot between the I-280 overpass and the masterplan site for The Rise. Eden Housing is responsible for the application.

The most recent details about the project are limited to a single passage from the preliminary review application. The developer aims to create 249 rental units across seven structures. Parking will be included for 219 cars between surface lots and concrete-frame podium garages. The complex site plan includes a mix of outdoor spaces and a portion of the planned Tamien Innu bicycle-pedestrian trail. The trail would run along the southern edge of I-280 between the Don Burnett Bicycle Pedestrian Bridge and Vallco Parkway. The application invokes Senate Bill 330 to streamline the approval process.

Architects FORA is responsible for drafting design, with landscape architecture by Creo. Eden Housing has been coordinating community outreach for the project with several workshops and a pop-up booth in the neighborhood as early as April last year. With the permitting process started, the team is aiming to finish the permitting and financing process by the end of the second quarter of 2026. Construction is expected to last a little over two years, with completion as early as 2028.

The 5.16-acre property is located at 1033 North Wolfe Road, next to the I-280 off-ramp, next to the demolished site of the former Vallco Shopping Mall, where Sand Hill Property Company is planning a massive mixed-use development.

  1. That’s impressive density in an undesirable part of what is currently a single-plex area! 🙂

    Could you please include a Link to the source? I have noticed several articles on SF Yimby where the source is not linked and every reader ends up having to go search for it which adds unnecessary time.
