A transit agency is planning numerous affordable homes along the downtown San Jose BART line yet insists one housing tower proposed for the area wouldn’t be workable.
SAN JOSE — A big regional transit agency is eyeing numerous affordable homes along the BART line planned for downtown San Jose — but insists one proposed housing tower wouldn’t be feasible in the area.
It’s also expected that housing, including affordable homes, will sprout next to proposed San Jose BART stops at Diridon Station, First Street and Santa Clara Street, and near East Santa Clara Street and North 28th Street. “The challenge is that between the combination of a very small site and the very substantial extra expense to build on that site, the amount of additional cost would make any kind of housing infeasible,” Golem said.
VTA is seeking to seize two parcels at the 17 through 31 E. Santa Clara site through an eminent domain proceeding so the site can be used for BART’s Downtown San Jose station.
