The City of Santa Clara has approved the 21-story residential development at 5185 Lafayette Street in Tasman East, Santa Clara. The proposal will bring nearly two hundred condominiums in the burgeoning high-rise neighborhood close to Levi’s Stadium. San Francisco-based Ensemble Investments is the project developer.

The 218-foot tower is expected to yield nearly 400,000 square feet, with 192,700 square feet for housing, 3,000 square feet of retail, and 113,560 square feet for the seven-level garage. The 310-car parking space will span five levels above ground and two basement floors. Ground-level retail will be included at the corner of Calle De Luna and Lafayette Street. Additional parking will be included for 110 bicycles. Apartment sizes will vary, with 28 studios, 87 one-bedrooms, 61 two-bedrooms, 15 three-bedrooms, and seven penthouse units.
Steinberg Hart is the project architect. Renderings show the structure will feature a dramatic rooftop parapet and private terraces. Facade materials include bronze metal panels, porcelain tiles, and grey-painted panels. Relm Studio is the landscape architect. BKF is consulting as the civil engineer, DCI on structural engineering, and Meyers+ for MEP engineering.

The 0.9-acre site, Parcel 11, is located at the corner of Lafayette Street and Calle De Luna, directly across from Related Companies’ senior housing tower. Tasman East is expected to create up to 4,500 apartments built by several developers, including affordable housing, over a hundred thousand square feet of retail, a grocery store, a potential school, and over ten acres of public open space.
The city unanimously approved the project in a city council meeting last Tuesday. The estimated cost and timeline for construction have yet to be established.
