The County of Santa Clara selected Eden Housing and the Architects FORA/Engage FORA team in January 2024 via a competitive request for proposals process to develop mixed income housing with an emphasis on providing housing for West Valley school district and DeAnza Community College employees.

The purpose of this website is to share information about the new housing development to be proposed at 10333 N. Wolfe Road in Cupertino. Here you can find project details, information about upcoming events, past event recordings and reports, and opportunities to participate in community engagement throughout the development process, including signing up for direct communications and project updates.

/ PROJECT DETAILS

Community Type:

The goal for the new housing development at 10333 N Wolfe Road is to create a mixed-income community in Cupertino, including high-quality affordable housing opportunities and educator workforce housing.

Property Information:

The project site, located in the Vallco Shopping District, holds an incredible opportunity to provide affordable housing as well as educator workforce housing in Cupertino central to the west valley. 

Though already a well-resourced neighborhood, the area around the project site is seeing a large-scale transformation towards a vibrant walkable, mixed-use neighborhood. Future residents will be able to enjoy the benefits of retail, parks, recreation, opportunities, and open space, both new (such as The Rise and multi-model trail networks) and existing (Portal Plaza), without the overwhelming pressure of overburdened housing costs.

 

The project will likely be built in three phases, with the initial phase including educator housing. In compliance with the anticipated City rezoning of the site, there will be 257-336 total units across the 5-acre + property. It will be 100% rental apartments, offering a variety of unit types for various income ranges, depending on community feedback. The affordable housing target populations have not yet been decided, and will be influenced by community feedback.

/ COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PROCESS

Design is better when diverse perspectives are at the table. Buildings that best provide for the needs of future residents, reflect their place, and are deeply valued by the community, are created by listening to those they strive to serve and including them throughout the design process.

The community engagement process for this project begins with the Listening Phase to understand the community’s collective values, visions. Your critical insights help ensure the project is designed to best serve its community. Activities to expect during this phase include: 

  • A pop-up at the 2024 Earth & Arbor Day Festival

    • DATE: April 20th, 2024

    • TIME: 11am - 3pm

    • LOCATION: Library Field Park, Cupertino

  • A virtual meeting with Educators and School employees

  • A Community-wide Workshop - TBD

The next phase is the Co-creation Phase, which begins by reporting back the findings and major themes and values heard during the Listening Phase. A series of interactive design activities will help to develop design details. Upholding a process based on integrity, the design team will describe the requirements for the development and key design drivers, and only present feasible options. Activities will include:

  • A Community-wide Workshop

  • A series of focus groups to learn about the needs of future residents 


Finally, the Accountability Phase will share how all of the community’s insights influenced and were incorporated into the project design. You’ll be able to find this information:
