The deal is a key step toward a project that eventually will produce 600-plus homes. KB Home South Bay paid $9.4 million to buy a site where 48 for-sale residences are slated to be built at 1655 Berryessa Rd., documents filed on Wednesday with the Santa Clara County Recorder’s Office show. The 48 residences would consist of 24 townhomes and 24 single-family detached houses on a site that is part of a, according to Ralph Borelli, a commercial real estate executive who is a consultant for members of the Facchino family, the sellers of the property,. “This is an important step,” Borelli said. “You will see hundreds of homes built here that will be within walking distance to BART.”KB Home South Bay is undertaking wide-ranging endeavors to prepare the entire site for several hundred more homes. It is conducting structure demolitions, grading, underground utility installations, and building streets, sidewalks, and landscaping, according to Borelli. “This will create all the infrastructure needed for all of the housing that will be built on this site,” said Erik Schoennauer, a land-use and planning consultant who helped guide the project through the city’s planning review process. The overall development site totals about 13 acres. The just-bought property where KB will develop for-sale townhomes and single-family residences covers a small portion of that. Other components of the housing development site that are still in the works, according to Borelli and Schoennauer, include 260 affordable apartment units and 338 market-rate apartment units.“The affordable homes are possible because Swenson received state and federal tax credits for the project,” Borelli said.The Facchino family currently owns the unsold portions of the 13 acres but is expected to sell the other sections to the eventual developers. The homes that will sprout at the 1655 Berryessa sites are near a busy shopping center whose anchors are Safeway and CVS.Dear Abby: They posted photos of the 'whole family' brunch.
