The 1207 North Capitol Multifamily Affordable Housing project, which is in the Entitlement approval process, is a forward-thinking development nestled in San Jose’s Alum Rock neighborhood. Responding to the pressing demand for affordable housing, the project seamlessly integrates functionality, aesthetics, and community engagement. Strategically positioned along a major public transportation route, with convenient access to a nearby light rail station, the project prioritizes connectivity. By promoting walking and cycling, it fosters physical and mental well-being among residents.

Consisting of 5-story C-shaped structure, the building features creatively interconnected open green spaces, serving as communal amenities for residents. With a thoughtful architectural orientation, the majority of units receive ample daylight from the West, East, and South, while the courtyard/open space benefits from Southern light. Unique exterior balconies not only provide functional outdoor spaces but also contribute to a balanced scale between the building mass and individual units.

The project consists of over 13,000 square feet of communal areas including lounges, community rooms, fitness facilities, and exterior open spaces. These areas not only promote physical health but also create opportunities for recreation and socialization, fostering human connections and a strong sense of community.

Embedded in the heart of Alum Rock, the 1207 North Capitol project seamlessly integrates into the vibrant community. Its dynamic architecture and thoughtful landscaping enhance the neighborhood’s aesthetic appeal, establishing it as a positive and enriching addition to the area.

The 1207 North Capitol Multifamily Housing project not only addresses the critical need for affordable housing but also nurtures a sense of community and well-being among residents and the broader neighborhood. With its careful planning and focus on cultivating a dynamic residential community, the project is set to be a fundamental part of the Alum Rock community in San Jose.
