Adjacent to downtown San Jose, the Japantown Corporation Yard community will include approximately 600 for-sale condominium homes and approximately 75 low-income apartments for seniors. In addition to residential housing, there will also be 15,000-30,000 square feet of retail, up to a 20,000-square-foot cultural space, and a new public park.

In keeping with our development philosophy, Japantown Corporation Yard will be a LEED certified project, built to the standards for sustainability and smart growth set forth by the U.S. Green Building Council.

Background

The development’s 5.4 acres are in the heart of Japantown. The land is currently owned by the City of San Jose and was previously a facility for City maintenance operations. The goal of the project is to transform this property into a valuable and vital addition to the Japantown neighborhood, revitalizing the area and bringing in new housing, business and vitality.

Affordable Housing Initiative

As a part of the development program, Williams & Dame Development is providing land and $2,600,000 to First Community Housing for the development of affordable housing for low-income seniors. This exciting project will help address the City’s affordable housing requirements and help achieve the goal of creating an economically diverse community.
