22 Washington St
Santa Clara, California
This project proposes a four-story mixed-use building at the intersection of Newhall and Washington streets in Santa Clara, California. It includes three floors of residential apartments above two levels of parking and ground-floor retail, creating a connected urban living environment that supports community interaction and local business. Because the site sits on the border of San Jose and Santa Clara, annexation into Santa Clara is required to meet local zoning, planning, and service regulations. The residential component will offer a mix of studios and one- to three-bedroom units with shared amenities that encourage community. Ground-floor retail will feature neighborhood-serving businesses to activate the street and serve residents and visitors.
Two levels of above-grade parking will accommodate residents and customers, with bike parking and EV charging to promote sustainable transportation. The building will feature a modern design with clean lines, large windows, and sustainable materials, creating an attractive and welcoming space that integrates residential, commercial, and community uses.
