2080 Almaden Rd Lot • Résidentiel • 0,52 Acres • 5 471 991 $ CAD • San Jose, CA 95125

The vacant land at 2080 Almaden Road represents a compelling infill opportunity in one of San Jose’s most desirable and established residential corridors. Situated on a level lot of 0.52 acres (22,500 SF) within the Urban Residential zoning designation (30–95 dwelling units per acre), the site offers a developer the potential for a townhome community of up to 15 units, or the possibility of an affordable solution with a higher unit count. (Subject to buyer verification and city approvals.) Preliminary conceptual plans envision a collection of three-story, 4-bedroom townhomes with attached garages, designed to meet the strong and ongoing demand for quality housing in Silicon Valley.
The project currently envisioned is a 15-unit townhome development incorporating internal circulation, open space elements including patios and rooftop decks in a 4-bedroom floorplan that would appeal to a broad range of buyers, including professionals, growing families, and intergenerational families -- a demographic which has become increasingly more prevalent with San Jose's changing population. The site's size and location is well suited for a market-rate housing townhome development or could accommodate potential affordability strategies, depending on a developer’s objectives. Existing improvements are minimal and consist of a small, vacant structure requiring minimal demolition, helping streamline early-stage planning and development considerations. The site was previously entitled for 86 affordable studio
units, demonstrating established residential precedent and reinforcing its viability for new housing development.
Located within the Guadalupe/Canoas area of Willow Glen the site is served by the highly regarded Willow Glen school district. The property benefits from strong residential fundamentals and enduring neighborhood appeal. Willow Glen is widely recognized as one of San Jose’s most charming and sought-after communities, celebrated for its tree-lined streets, historic character, and welcoming, small-town atmosphere.

Pride of ownership is evident throughout Willow Glen, with beautifully maintained homes, mature landscaping, and inviting residential streets contributing to its lasting curb appeal.
In addition to its charm, Willow Glen offers exceptional convenience. The property is located near major employment centers, transportation corridors, and commuter routes, providing efficient access to downtown San Jose and the greater Silicon Valley. Numerous parks, recreational amenities, and highly regarded public schools further enhance the area’s desirability. Schools serving the Willow Glen area within the San José Unified School District are recognized for strong academic performance, diverse programming, and a supportive, community-focused environment. Local campuses consistently receive favorable ratings for college readiness, diversity, and student achievement, with Willow Glen High School boasting a graduation rate of approximately 93% and strong Advanced Placement participation. Elementary and middle schools in the area are similarly well regarded, benefiting from active parent involvement, enrichment opportunities in the arts and athletics, and access to specialized magnet and dual-immersion programs through the district’s school-choice model.

demand and long-term neighborhood value.
