This event marks initial physical progress on a major project led by <a href=\"https:\/\/sfyimby.com\/category\/waterford-property-co\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Waterford Property Co.<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/sfyimby.com\/category\/pacific-housing-inc\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Pacific Housing<\/a>, and C&amp;C Development. Once completed, the project is expected to add 75 new units of affordable housing to the Silicon Valley city.<\/p>\n<p>The final building will rise five stories above street level, with its size set as a higher-density affordable counterpart to nearby for-profit condominiums by PulteGroup. Apartment sizes will range from one- to three-bedroom units, catering to both individuals and families searching for affordable housing. Additional services will be available on-site, including youth tutoring, teen programming, financial literacy, and wellness classes to be offered for the building\u2019s residents.<\/p>\n<p>The firm <a href=\"https:\/\/sfyimby.com\/category\/ktgy-architects\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">KTGY Architecture<\/a> is responsible for the building\u2019s design. Recent Illustrations show a boxy modern structure with an extended front terrace and lobby area. The exterior fa\u00e7ade is to be broken up by several insets, helping create a less blocky exterior presence. Fa\u00e7ade materials will range, including blue cement panels and off-white brick, and smooth off-white finished areas.<\/p>\n<p>The site\u2019s location directly next to 880 makes it an easy location for regular vehicle commuters, but it does not have significant access to public transit. The surrounding neighborhood transitions between suburban housing and light warehouse\/industrial.<\/p>\n<p>Completion of the building is expected by the end of 2028.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-48132\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/1397-California-Circle-Site-Location-image-by-ArcGIS-Online-1024x644.png\" alt=\"1397 California Circle Site Location, image by ArcGIS Online\" width=\"1024\" height=\"644\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">1397 California Circle Site Location, image by ArcGIS Online<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"http:\/\/eepurl.com\/hdjqhz\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Subscribe<\/a> to YIMBY\u2019s daily e-mail<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https%3A%2F%2Fsfyimby.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/1791021618_761_google_preferred_source_badge.png\" width=\"245\" height=\"40\" alt=\"Make YIMBY preferred on Google\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/yimbygram\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Follow<\/a> YIMBYgram for real-time photo updates<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/YIMBYFB\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Like<\/a>\u00a0YIMBY on Facebook<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/yimbytweets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Follow<\/a> YIMBY\u2019s Twitter for the latest in YIMBYnews<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sfyimby.com\/category\/1397-california-circle\" rel=\"category tag nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">1397 California Circle<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/sfyimby.com\/category\/ktgy-architects\" rel=\"category tag nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">KTGY Architects<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/sfyimby.com\/category\/pacific-housing-inc\" rel=\"category tag nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Pacific Housing Inc.<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/sfyimby.com\/category\/waterford-property-co\" rel=\"category tag nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Waterford Property Co<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"display: inline;\">. <\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"1397 California Circle Rendering, image by KTGY By: Gabriel Clark-Clough 5:30 am on October 2, 2026 A new&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":483790,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[88,90,89],"class_list":["post-483789","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-jose","tag-san-jose","tag-san-jose-headlines","tag-san-jose-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/483789","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=483789"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/483789\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/483790"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=483789"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=483789"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=483789"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
