Mixed-use affordable housing in Midtown San Jose

A new mid-rise building has been proposed for Midtown between Downtown and Santana Row/Valley Fair.  The building would be a seven stories and 83 feet tall and include 94 affordable apartments along with 1,950 SQFT of retail on a compact 0.56-acre site. The mix would be 24 studios, 22 one-bedroom, 24, two-bedroom, and 24 three-bedroom units. There would be enough parking for 38 cars and 58 bicycles.

Amenities include on-site support services for households making less than 60% of the median income as well as a rooftop deck overlooking San Carlos street.

The address is 1921-1927 West San Carlos Street. Technically this is part of Burbank, an unincorporated part of Santa Clara County. Part of the project would annex this land to be part of the City of San Jose and raze five one-story commercial structures.

Groundbreaking is targeted for 2026, with 18 months of construction and a completion date sometime in 2028.
