600 Valley Way Residential Development
The Sobrato Organization is proposing to redevelop an underutilized office and industrial site at 600 Valley Way into a 134-unit townhome community with a clubhouse, public pedestrian pathway, and 20 moderate-income affordable housing units. While city officials and developers emphasize the project's contribution to local housing goals and walkability, neighboring residents expressed concerns regarding the proximity of the project trash enclosure and mature pine trees to adjacent properties and a daycare facility.
