Housing project bolsters Palo Alto’s vision for future of San Antonio

Palo Alto’s plan to transform a stretch of San Antonio Road into the city’s newest residential community received a boost Monday, when the City Council reviewed and largely supported a proposal to demolish three commercial buildings and construct a 200-apartment complex next to the Mountain View border. Located just north of Middlefield Road in an area dominated by commercial and industrial uses, the proposed building at 720 San Antonio would feature parking and other amenities on the bottom two floors and apartments on the upper six floors. It would also include a fitness room, a pool lounge and club room, according to project applicant. In a nod to the recent shifts in work habits, the apartment complex will also include a co-working space. “The co-working space is for the residents to do the work from home in this new era,” said John Kosi, principal at BDE Architecture, which designed the project.
