253 Race Street by The Core Companies includes 91 senior apartments in a 5-story (4 floors living over 1 floor parking) building and 116 family apartments in a 6-story (4 floors living over 2 floors parking) building. Both buildings provide generous common open space in the form of courtyards and indoor amenities. The buildings are separated by a promenade that also serves as a driveway to access both buildings’ garages. The site is in a transit-rich neighborhood and within walking distance of two vibrant commercial/retail corridors. Project Update: The Core Companies / Santa Clara County Housing Authority 2,154 sq ft Commercial on Race Street. They have also re-oriented the promenade to provide vehicle entry on Grand Avenue and an expanded pedestrian promenade and bike and pedestrian paseo. Parking in both buildings was reduced and a bike kitchen and secure storage rooms were added to both the Senior and Family buildings. With these improvements that were in-line with Catalyze SV Member feedback the project would likely score higher.
