Villa Torre I

 

 
 
       
The property was rezoned for high density housing and Villa Torre is one of the first properties in the East Gardner neighborhood area to be redeveloped. The site previously housed an abandoned weigh scale and provided crate storage for Dole's fruit packing business. The development's location near two elementary schools, a library, a new park adjacent to the site, the San José Municipal Stadium, and the San José State University's Spartan Stadium make it a desirable location for families with children and sports fans (see Villa Torre II).
