Grand Plans Can Be A Model For The Rest Of Silicon Valley, San Jose Mercury News (May require registration or login to view this article)
"Urban Areas Rich In Housing: Edenvale Project A Slam Dunk, And North S.J. Should Be, Too
In a small pocket of Edenvale, a time-worn Silicon Valley industrial campus is about to be transformed. Hitachi will consolidate its workforce in taller buildings on about half of the 330 acres along Cottle Road. On the rest, a new neighborhood will take shape -- a village, really -- with about 3,000 condominiums and apartments, some over shops, and shady sidewalks leading to nearby light-rail and Caltrain stops. It will be more than one good neighborhood. It's a prototype for what should happen in much of Silicon Valley, where housing is badly needed while valuable land is hogged by low, sprawling, often empty industrial buildings that no longer fit many companies' needs."
