IBM Corp. Almaden Facility —
San Jose, CA

This 135 acre parcel, with an 88,000 square foot building, located in the Almaden Valley area of San Jose, California was owned by IBM Corp. and was in use as a think tank or office until 1990. The site was successfully rezoned for 188 detached single-family homes with three product types. The project was built at an average of 8 units per net acre. The homes range from 1,800 – 3,300 square feet in three, four and five bedroom models and are concentrated on a 32 acre portion of the 135 acres site, leaving 103 acres in pristine hillside oak woodlands as a private park for the homeowners.
