SAN JOSE — A big housing development could replace a liquor store site in San Jose, a proposed project that would add more than 100 residences to the city’s Willow Glen district.
The project could sprout at 940 Willow Street, according to the proposal filed by Redco Development, a company whose managing director is real estate executive Chris Freise.
The seven-story apartment complex would be built at the corner of Willow Street and Kotenberg Avenue, according to a preliminary proposal on file with city planners.
The project would consist of 126 apartments and include ground-floor retail, the plans filed by Redco Development show. “The property is currently a 5,000-square-foot, two-tenant underutilized retail strip building,” Redco Development states on its website, referring to the proposed development location. At present, BWS, a beer, wine and spirits store, and Fit Body Boot Camp fitness center are located at the 940 Willow Street site, which totals 0.8 acres.
The 126 units would consist of 52 studios, 51 one-bedroom units, 19 two-bedroom units and four three-bedroom units in townhouse style, the development plans state.
Because this is a very preliminary proposal, it’s possible that the project would ultimately be different in its final form.
