The City of Milpitas is encouraging the public to comment on a new draft plan to rezone portions of the city, the Milpitas Metro Specific Plan. MMSP would establish five new districts around the city’s BART Station, which opened in June of 2020. Full build-out could produce roughly seven thousand apartments, two and a half million square feet of office space, light industrial space, retail, and hotels to be built by 2040.
Recent permit activity has renewed focus on Empire Lumber’s mixed-use project for 1260 East Santa Clara Street in Five Wounds, San Jose. The proposal is to create a commercial area capped by over three hundred apartments, near the future 28th Street Little Portugal BART Station. Pacific States Industries Development is responsible for the proposal as project client.
New construction permits have been filed for a multi-family residential development at 123 West Reed Street in Downtown San Jose. The project will rise just two floors from the currently vacant lot to add three units to the city’s housing market. Visionaire Homes LLC is responsible for the development.
The San Jose Planning Commission is scheduled to decide on an appeal later today of The Mark, a 23-story student-oriented project to be built at 475 South 4th Street in Downtown San Jose. The public teleconference meeting is scheduled to begin today, October 13th, at 6:30 PM. City staff has recommended the commission reject the appeal and approve the special use permits to commence construction. The public teleconference meeting is scheduled to begin today, October 13th, at 6:30 PM.
A preliminary application has been filed to construct a new apartment complex at 950 West Julian Street, Garden Alameda, San Jose.

Jemcor Development Partners is responsible for the application.
