Berryessa/North San Jose Transit Center Transit-Oriented Development

The Berryessa/North San Jose Transit-Oriented Development site is a 3.3-acre property owned by VTA adjacent to the Berryessa BART Station, located on Mabury Road and Berryessa Station Way. The site is part of the City of San José's Berryessa BART Urban Village Plan. Phase 1 of the development is a 100% affordable housing project on one acre of the site with mixed-use, market-rate housing and office development in future phases.

VTA partnered with the Santa Clara County Office of Supportive Housing for Phase 1. The Office of Supportive Housing administers the 2016 Measure A Affordable Housing Bond. This partnership encourages the development of affordable housing at the site.

Project Update

In September 2023, Affirmed Housing Group submitted their California Senate Bill 35 (SB35) entitlement application to the City of San José. More information can be viewed on Affirmed Housing's Berryessa Apartments project webpage.

Station Access Study

The Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) initiated a Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Station Access Study for the Berryessa/North San Jose Transit Center to analyze multi-modal access and circulation to and from the station. VTA conducted the analysis in coordination with a proposed affordable housing transit-oriented development project at Mabury Road and Berryessa Station Way. The Berryessa/North San José Transit Center Access Study final report provides proposed access improvements, travel demand management strategies, and cost estimates for the identified access improvements to the station area and the proposed TOD project.

Community Outreach

VTA delivers outreach to the community in many ways, from email, web page posting like this, signage, tabling at events, presenting at your neighborhood association, and by mail notifications, to name a few. We use multiple approaches to ensure the community is informed and allow for authentic engagement.

Community Meetings

Affirmed Housing Group and VTA are hosted a community open house on November 15, 2023, at the Berryessa Community Center to discuss the proposed Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) at VTA’s Berryessa/North San Jose Transit Center. 

The open house provided an opportunity to learn more about the project and Affirmed’s vision for this development.
