Communication Hill Renders!

KB Homes owns 300 acres of Communication Hill and is planning to build up to 2,200 homes on 75 of those acres. The rest will be used for retail/commercial, an industrial park, open space, trails, and public parks.

We finally have some renders on what the new homes will look like, and I have to say they look pretty damn good. This is much nicer than what I was expecting. The design is very modern with sharp edges, a diverse color palette, and unique architectural features. I'm also happy to see that some of the buildings utilize seven stories, which would make them the most dense residential buildings in South San Jose.

  2. I think it would be sweet to include ground floor retail to create the ultimate urban mix, along a main street like small city downtowns and santana row. No more strip malls for san jose!

    1. There's around 60K SQ FT of retail planned for Communications Hill, dong know if it's on the ground floor though.

  3. These are very nice, and while I would have preferred to have seen this space remained open space. IT would have been such a great project for an urban park. But the design is really nice.

    1. At least there is a ton of open space in the plan, including new trails and parks.
