Construction is expected to start soon for the massive seven-story apartment complex at 3150 El Camino Real in Palo Alto, Santa Clara County. City approval was granted last summer for the 368-unit project. Acclaim Companies and Stanford University are jointly responsible for the development.

The 85-foot-tall structure is expected to yield around 627,740 square feet, including 443,500 square feet for housing and 184,240 square feet for the two-level basement garage. There will be 368 residences, of which 754 will be deed-restricted as affordable to households earning between 50% and 80% of the area’s median income. Apartment types will vary with 12 studios, 231 one-bedrooms, 97 two-bedrooms, and 28 three-bedrooms. Parking will be included for 382 cars and 410 bicycles.
Studio T Square is the project architect. The podium-style complex will feature a familiar articulated facade with wood-grain fiber cement panels and plaster. The ground level will be improved with a mix of stone veneer and porcelain tiles. The Guzzardo Partnership is overseeing the landscape architect, which will consist of sidewalk improvements and two podium-top courtyards.

The 2.5-acre property is located along El Camino Real between Hansen Way and Page Mill Road. The site is close to several other proposals working through the city’s pipeline, including 3300 El Camino Real by Sand Hill Property Company and the Residences at Matadero by Oxford Capital. Future residents will be about a mile away from the California Avenue Caltrain Station.
