| Nearby residents were actively involved in the planning process for this for-sale townhouse project, which is being built on property owned by the San Jose Grail Corporation. As a result, the design incorporates significant open space and a community center with day care services for its residents and neighbors to enjoy. Although the cost of land and labor often makes it prohibitive, nearly one half of the units will be affordable to lower-income households. | |
