Santa Clara Seeks Developer for Downtown Revival; Pre-Proposal Conference Nov. 18
The City of Santa Clara has released a request for proposals seeking a development partner for the first phase of its long-planned downtown revitalization on nearly five acres at 900 and 1000 Lafayette Street, near Santa Clara University. The mixed-use project is expected to include at least 300 residential units with 25% designated as affordable housing for low-income households, along with restaurants, retail space, public gathering areas, and cultural amenities. City officials say existing businesses on the site, including The Hungry Hound and Frozos, will likely be demolished as part of redevelopment. A mandatory pre-proposal conference for interested developers is scheduled for Nov. 18, with developer selection estimated to take about nine months and construction still years away.
