Donner Lofts, San Jose

Donner Lofts, an urban infill development providing workforce housing, is located on a prominent corner in downtown San Jose. The six-story 102-unit building is Type 3 construction over Type I podium and basement. The first floor includes mixed-use/retail and parking and the second floor consists of residential units and a landscaped podium courtyard. The housing wraps around the podium shielding the open space from the surrounding street noise and exposure. Building elements include a variety of massing elements both vertical and horizontal to minimize the overall scale of the building to the surrounding neighborhood. In addition, a variety of materials and architectural elements such as brick at the building base, projecting metal balconies and extensive use of glazing add to the architectural facade’s texture and interest.
