Meeting Tomorrow For 211-281 River Oaks Parkway, San Jose

The San Jose Planning Director is scheduled to review plans for a large residential project at 211-281 River Oaks Parkway in northern San Jose, Santa Clara County. The proposal aims to create over seven hundred units across two apartment buildings and a hundred townhomes. San Jose-based Valley Oak Partners is the project developer.

The master plan includes a seven-story market-rate structure with 505 units, a five-story affordable housing complex with 132 units, and a hundred attached townhomes spread across 14 three-story buildings. Parking will be included for 903 cars and 345 bicycles.

The application invokes the State Density Bonus and Senate Bill 330 law to streamline the approval process. Unit types will vary across the apartments with 82 studios, 357 one-bedrooms, 136 two bedrooms, and 60 three bedrooms. Of the one hundred townhomes, half will be two-bedrooms and half will be three-bedrooms.

Studio T Square is responsible for the design. Illustrations show that the podium-style buildings will be articulated with a mix of material types, balconies, and setbacks. The larger apartments will overlook River Oaks Park, with the townhomes pushed to the rear half of the lot.

New York City-based real estate investment trust, Global Net Lease, is listed as the property owner. Demolition will be required for three existing office buildings. The nearly ten-acre property is located across from the River Oaks Park, which opened in 2013 as a public amenity in association with the massive Crescent Village Apartment homes developed by the Irvine Company.

The Planning Director hearing is scheduled to start virtually on Wednesday, October 29th, starting at 9 AM. For more information on attending and participating, visit the city’s website here.

The estimated cost and timeline for construction have yet to be shared.
