The City of San José has announced a new residential project at 1000 South De Anza Boulevard, set to replace an existing commercial building. The project, identified as H23-029 and ER23-232, will involve the demolition of the current structure and the construction of a seven-story, 99-unit residential building.

According to project details, "The project includes a Site Development Permit to allow the demolition of an existing commercial building and surface parking lot and the removal of 19 trees (including 13 ordinance-size trees) for the construction of a seven-story, 99-unit residential building." The new residential building will offer a mix of unit types, with a percentage reserved for affordable housing, as stated by the project applicant: "The project applicant would reserve 20 percent of the units to be provided at 80 percent of average median income."

The development will feature a variety of unit sizes, including "approximately 36 studios, 46 one-bedroom units, 17 two-bedroom units," along with amenities such as "8,714 square feet of common open space" and a parking area with mechanical lifts. The project is situated on an approximately 0.72-acre lot at 1000 South De Anza Boulevard in San José.

To engage with the community and address environmental considerations, a virtual public meeting is scheduled for Monday, May 13, 2024, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. The Environmental Project Manager for the project, Nhu Nguyen, can be contacted for further information at 408-535-6894 or through email at nhu.nguyen@sanjoseca.gov.
