East Santa Clara Senior
Property Description
East Santa Clara Senior is a new construction development of 68 senior rental apartments in San Jose. The rental units are all 1-bedrooms and there is also one 2-bedroom on-site manager’s unit. The apartments will be available to households earning up to 60% of the Area Median Income (AMI). Twenty units are designed as Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) for seniors exiting homelessness.
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. On-site amenities include a spacious lobby and mail room, management and services offices, a large community room with kitchen, a food pantry, recreation spaces on each floor, and a laundry room. Building 800 will offer 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 smaller spaces. The community room will open onto a publicly accessible outdoor plaza.
