Troy Apartments

 

 
 
       
The name for this project was derived from the 19th Century Troy Laundry, which once occupied the site. The final product, which has units available for people displaced by downtown San José redevelopment projects, has had a positive, revitalizing impact on the older neighborhood near downtown San José.
