Property Description

East Santa Clara Senior is a new construction development of 64 rental apartments for seniors at 675 E. Santa Clara Street in San Jose. The rental units are all 1-bedrooms and there is also a 2-bedroom on-site manager’s unit. In partnership with Queer Silicon Valley, this project will serve the LGBTQ+ senior community and allies, delivering San Jose’s first senior housing project consciously created to be LGBTQ-friendly in both design and operations.

The site is part of the East Santa Clara Master Plan, which is jointly led by The Santa Clara County Housing Authority and the County of Santa Clara. The site plan will create a highly integrated mixed-use project that builds a diverse set of housing opportunities for different affordability levels, provides flexible office space, creates retail on the site, and offers a variety of open spaces that support a range of activities. Eden, in partnership with the Core Companies, is the master developer of a 2.8-acre site. In addition to Eden’s project, Core will develop a 114-unit family building and 36 for-sale BMR townhomes.

The senior building is an L-shaped building with ground level podium parking that incorporates the adaptive reuse of Building 800 (formerly IBM’s first West Coast office). The project offers numerous amenities to both residents and the broader community. Housed in Building 800, amenities include a spacious lobby and mail room, management and services offices, and a laundry room.

Building 800 will also have a 3,000+ square foot space that will be available for both residential purposes and community neighborhood uses (and reservable for free!). The space will be available in its entirety, or it can be partitioned into three smaller spaces, including a library, for smaller groups. The community room will open onto a publicly accessible outdoor plaza. At the podium level, residents will have private access to a large courtyard space with community gardens, gathering spaces, and outdoor exercise equipment.
