Seven-Story Affordable Housing Project Proposed For 1921 W. San Carlos Street

Renderings have been released for a proposed seven-story affordable housing development at 1921 West San Carlos Street, Burbank, San Jose. PATH Ventures are responsible for the development, with concept drawings by Dahlin. The development still needs city approval to move forward.

If approved, the development will add retail and 94 units to the major thoroughfare, intersecting with Cleveland Avenue. For reference, it would take three to four blocks full of single-family dwellings to match that number of units. These apartments are designated affordable housing, with specific unit prices mixed for different income levels. Amenities will include a community room, computer lab, and a support services office.

It will be replacing a site currently occupied by single-story commercial buildings. PATH Ventures has also suggested that they could also aim to provide permanent supportive housing for the homeless, which, rather logically, is the best solution to reduce homelessness.

PATH Ventures has filed this proposal for the city’s planning department. As described, the project was intentionally vague, with the final programming decisions ultimately left to City Hall.
