Family Trust Plans 80 Apartments in Downtown San Jose

A trust led by Paramjit Kaur and Surinder Singh wants to build an 11-story apartment building in Downtown San Jose.

The unidentified trust has filed plans to build an 80-unit complex at 101 Delmas Avenue, near Google’s stalled transit village at Diridon Station, the San Jose Mercury News reported. It would replace a Delmas Market and Imperio Taqueria.

The development at Delmas Avenue and West San Fernando Street in the historic Lakehouse District would rise across from Google’s proposed Downtown West, near Adobe’s headquarters and the SAP Center.

The apartments would stand on a 0.2-acre site owned by the trust.

Plans call for 80 studios, including 16 affordable apartments for low-income households, plus 1,300 square feet of ground-floor shops. The applicant seeks fast-track approval through SB 330, a state law that limits project hearings and appeals.

The apartment tower, designed by MANU Studios of San Jose, would feature white, gray and putty sections built atop the commercial podium, according to renderings. It would include large windows, inset balconies and a terrace deck. Blocks of apartments would be edged in orange.

It wasn’t clear whether the Singh and Kaur group would develop the high-rise if San Jose city officials approve the project, according to the Mercury News.
