Preliminary plans have been filed for a seven-story apartment complex to rise at 762 San Antonio Road in Palo Alto, Santa Clara County. The application invokes the Builder’s Remedy to expedite approval and increase the capacity to nearly two hundred units. Hengehold Trucks is the property owner, and Acclaim Companies is the developer.
MANU Studios has submitted an updated application for the 11-story mixed-use proposal at 101 Delmas Avenue in San Jose. The filing reveals newer renderings since coverage from June of last year and introduces the Builder’s Remedy provision to expedite the approval process. If built, the project will bring 80 new homes on a small lot close to Diridon Station and Downtown San Jose.
The City of Cupertino has received its first Builder’s Remedy proposal. The project would redevelop 20015 Stevens Creek Boulevard with a five-story apartment complex, including some affordable housing. However, Acclaim Companies has told YIMBY the plans are on hold.
Preliminary plans have been filed for a mixed-use project with two new structures at 156 California Avenue in Palo Alto, Santa Clara County. The buildings will rise over a Caltrain Station, the tallest of which will be 17 floors. REDCO Development, the developer, aims to use Senate Bill 330 and the Builder’s Remedy for a streamlined approval process to create 382 apartments and a replacement for a Mollie Stone’s Market close to transit.
The Builder’s Remedy was expected to boost housing construction across the state. However, it’s causing San Jose’s pipeline to shrink. The Bumb Family has withdrawn their 2021-proposed plan for the South District development, swapping the proposed offices and 3,450 units with a 940-unit alternative, representing a loss of 2,560 units. Since San Jose did not submit a compliant housing element, there is little for the city to do.
