San Jose eyes new affordable housing development in the Rose Garden district

SAN JOSE An affordable housing development with supportive services has been proposed for a site near downtown San Jose in the Rose Garden district, documents on file with city planners show. Slated to include 59 residences at 2188 The Alameda, a hotel structure with 27 transitional housing units would be removed to make way for the new development, according to public records. Adobe Services and Allied Housing teamed up to develop the project, documents show. As the (existing transitional) units are intended for short-term stays, the referrals will be discontinued prior to construction, allowing the building to become vacant without tenant displacement, the proposal states. The development, called Casa De Novo, is slated to be built in two phases, with the 59 units and hotel demolition marking phase one. The new six-story building is expected to include 10 studio units, 39 one-bedroom units, and 10 two-bedroom units. All of the units will be affordable residences, with at least 50
