Seems like an idea a lot of us would share. |
An affordable 100-unit apartment complex proposed near Milpitas’ almost-done BART station cleared a key hurdle last week.

This would be a nice addition to the area.

San Carlos Transit Village phase 1 is done in some parts...
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1721/...1ebb996e_b.jpg so now work has shifted to either side of the depot building itself. north side: https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1744/...a97c1723_b.jpg south side: https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1751/...d96816c8_b.jpg |

Nice to see San Carlos so close to reality! For as awful as the northernmost Peninsula cities (Brisbane, Millbrae, etc) have been regarding blocking housing, and your standard Palo Alto nonsense, refreshing what Redwood City and San Carlos and San Mateo have been building...densifying downtown cores near CalTrain (or in San Mateo's case, building a whole other new downtown!).

another glimpse of the stuff going up near Oyster Point in East South SF (that sounds awkward!), which will become at least somewhat more accessible with the reconfiguration of the SSF Caltrain station and new access from the east side.

It's been a while since I posted. Here's an update in Santa Clara at the intersection of El Camino and Lawrence Expressway:
This massive project (for the area at least) will have 476 units and 108,600 sq ft of retail. http://santaclaraca.gov/Home/ShowIma...90547291270000 The residential portion is under construction and almost topped up. https://i.imgur.com/qOzpcny.jpg https://i.imgur.com/HmJ1RCr.jpg?1 Elsewhere, the developments in the San Antonio neighborhood in Mountain View by the Caltrain station has been coming along nicely since my last post a year ago. I forgot to take pictures, but if I get the chance I'll go back and take them. In a nutshell, they've landscaped the sidewalks, added some protected pedestrian crossings, and added new green bike lanes along California and San Antonio. There are hundreds of new housing units still under construction in this neighborhood (including a seven story!), and Greystar is about to start another one on the site of the old Safeway. The Mountain View City Council approved this project three days ago: https://www.mv-voice.com/news/photos...15882_full.jpg This site was originally being targeted by the Los Altos School District for eminent domain proceedings, but the district has since moved on to another parcel of land across the street next to the San Antonio village development. The developers of the San Antonio village also plan to help LASD build new public parkland on this new parcel to help them fulfill green space requirements. |
Thanks for the updated posts misken! Pretty excited to see the Mountain View pics

Edit: I did make it down to the San Antonio area today and took some shots. First off, from the edges on the neighborhood are these twin developments happening on the Los Altos side of El Camino: https://imgur.com/DpWfO79.jpg This one is Los Altos' first five-story building and was hugely controversial when first proposed. It contains 21 total units. But now that it has safely broken ground, there's a new development on the parcels right next door: https://imgur.com/FZBApTO.jpg https://imgur.com/Vezs7Hq.jpg There will be another five-story apartment complex that will replace a few retail buildings and parking lots. It contains 35 total units. Back across the street into Mountain View, we have (1) Lennar Multifamily communities [204 units] along El Camino (2) and 394 Ortega Ave at the intersection of Ortega and California [144 units]. https://imgur.com/JG4wLtc https://imgur.com/UaJk9lK.jpg Here are some pictures of the San Antonio Village Phase II. Unfortunately, Phase II is only office, retail, movie theater, and a hotel, and will not contain a residential component: https://imgur.com/6Y7l06Q.jpg https://imgur.com/dc5Fkeu.jpg https://imgur.com/OdZvEHm.jpg Here are some images of the green bike lane striping (I missed the area with the widened and landscaped sidewalks and the new lighted crosswalk across San Antonio). They're not as wide as I would like them to be, but it is better than what we had before and the city didn't have to pay for it. https://imgur.com/rG2Hwo2.jpg I was pleased to see the green striping bleed into the Los Altos side as well: https://imgur.com/qsxhsz1.jpg Across the street from the Village project is a residential complex by Prometheus that broke ground last year and I featured in my last MV megapost. It's got 583 units. Since last summer, it looks like they've completed the foundation and are building up: https://imgur.com/EMUiCBH.jpg https://imgur.com/Zb0QdkY.jpg And lastly, I just wanted to share some pictures of the new elementary school that the Los Altos School District is building in order to serve all the new residents who have been and will be moving into this new neighborhood. What used to be a giant parking crater has gotten a facelift, and I hope the city will continue to put pressure on the developers to pay for sidewalk and bike lane enhancements like they've done so far. With an elementary school here, hopefully the city will upgrade nearby crosswalks and sidewalks to give students a safe route to school. Even though San Antonio is in MV, it is served by the Los Altos School District, and current residents have to travel across town to send their kids to school because both of the nearby LASD schools are full. As noted in my post above, they were looking to take a parcel in the Crossings neighborhood across from the Village development, but has since decided to develop this parking crater into a school and a park: https://imgur.com/Z7hmwKK.jpg https://imgur.com/dHMmDlC.jpg A Kohl's, T-Mobile, Gamestop, Joann's Fabrics, 24 Hour Gym Superstore, Chinese restaurant Luu Noodles, and a Ramen restaurant will be replaced. The Greystar development next door has indicated that they are willing to have any of these retailers move into their new development. This is one of the most exciting developments in my eyes, because even though this is skyscraperpage forums, we also promote urban livability -- which naturally includes green space. This part of Mountain View lacks in that department, so I'm glad to hear that LASD is working with nearby developers to turn part of this land into a park. |
Projects next to the Warm Springs BART

San Carlos Caltrain, work progressing rapidly on the next phase of the transit village, on what was the north parking lot, abutting the station platforms:
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1833/...cca986e4_b.jpg https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1835/...e8af0287_b.jpg work on the former south parking lot started a couple months later https://farm1.staticflickr.com/929/4...15f0193e_b.jpg checking in at Hayward Park Caltrain: the north end https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1837/...325a625f_b.jpg from the station platform https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1814/...e94c6df2_b.jpg at Hillsdale, the third office building is coming along https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1772/...95ff2b90_b.jpg it looks very much like the second office building https://farm1.staticflickr.com/937/4...eb1ef103_b.jpg |
couple more of San Carlos showing progress on the south parking lot and a larger development further inland
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1778/...e65e9629_b.jpg https://farm1.staticflickr.com/938/4...fe2ed7f2_b.jpg at Hillsdale/Bay Meadows, work continues on the structures to raise the tracks as part of the grade-separation project and new station. I think this will be part of the bases for the new station location (bonus in background: glimpse of Hillsdale Mall expansion) https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1797/...5603a76a_b.jpg this is where the tracks will pass over 25th Ave https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1771/...de9f59e3_b.jpg |
Are there any projects that you guys would like for me to take pictures of? I'm mainly in the south bay and go to SF via BART for work. I might trek out with my drone to take pictures on labor day weekend. Just let me know!

Another 7-story, 85-foot tall, mid-rise proposal in Milpitas. This will hold 220 housing units with 10 for very low income households.

^^I don't see the parking. I assume in that location it has parking.
