Crescent Village, San Jose, CA

ROMA prepared the development plan and a Planned Development Zoning package for the new mixed-use neighborhood on the former Sony campus in North San Jose. The 38-acre property is located in the heart of Silicon Valley, on lands that the City has designated as a residential overlay to promote a better balance between jobs and housing and a finer-grained pattern of pedestrian and transit-oriented development. In its role as master plan architect, ROMA collaborated with a multidisciplinary team to develop a plan that resulted in 1,900 new units of housing, 20,000 square feet of commercial development and a five-acre public park. The plan is characterized by a pattern of pedestrian-friendly streets and paseos, radiating out from the central park.
