81 apartments to replace retail building in South San Jose

A San Diego developer aims to replace a 70-year-old commercial building with a seven-story apartment complex in South San Jose.

Affirmed Housing Group has filed plans to construct an 81-unit apartment building at 4850 Harwood Road, SFYimby reported. The mid-century storefronts would be demolished.

Preliminary review permits seek approval for the apartment building on a half-acre, trapezoid-shaped parcel just south of the West Valley Freeway.

The apartments, fast-tracked under the SB 35 approval process, would include an undetermined number of market-rate and affordable units. The units would feature floor-to-ceiling glass windows.

They would replace an 8,600-square-foot commercial building, constructed in 1962. The single-story brick building appears to be home to a laundromat, cleaners and a ballroom dance supply shop.
