Ellore Luxury Senior Living Adds Onsite Wellness Program

Santa Clara has welcomed an exciting new development with Ellore, a luxury senior living community in The Clara District. Developed by Related California and operated by Oakmont Management Group, Ellore recently opened its doors across from Levi’s Stadium, offering 176 upscale residences. What sets this community apart is its Wellness by Ellore program, a comprehensive healthcare initiative that brings top-tier medical services right to residents.

The Wellness by Ellore program stands out with its Five Pillars of Elevated Care: Medical Advisement, Concierge Medicine, Ellore Med, Ellore Balance, and Traditions Memory Care. Residents enjoy personalized healthcare from day one, with assessments covering medical needs, therapy, and nutrition. Dr. Mahyar Ayati, a Stanford Affiliate with expertise in geriatric health, leads the medical advisement, while a partnership with Pine Park Health provides onsite primary care and specialists like dentists and optometrists. Physical therapy and memory care round out the offerings, ensuring residents can live with ease and confidence.

Beyond healthcare, Ellore delivers a lifestyle that matches the Bay Area’s reputation for excellence. The 20-story building, designed by Steinberg Hart with interiors by March and White Design, features stunning views of Santa Clara’s salt ponds, foothills, and Levi’s Stadium. Residents can choose independent living, assisted living, or memory care, all paired with amenities like gourmet dining at The Summit Room and a calendar full of social events. The fourth floor’s dedicated wellness suites make accessing care seamless, blending luxury with practicality. It also features one of only two penthouse swimming pools in Silicon Valley high-rises (the other is at The Fay in Downtown San Jose).

Ellore’s arrival highlights why the San Jose metro continues to grow as a standout destination. Its prime location in The Clara District puts residents near dining, parks, and transit, all while offering a fresh take on senior living that prioritizes wellness and community. For those exploring options for themselves or loved ones, Ellore showcases the high standards and forward-looking developments that define our region.

The Clara: Luxury Silicon Valley Living

If you’re looking for a reason to get excited about residential growth happening in our region, let me introduce you to The Clara, a jaw-dropping 22-story luxury residential development that’s setting a new standard for Silicon Valley. It's the tallest residential building in Silicon Valley outside of Downtown San Jose. Located in Santa Clara’s new Clara District, across the street from Levi's Stadium and just a short drive or Light Rail ride from Downtown San Jose.

A New Icon in Santa Clara

Imagine living in a place where sweeping views of the San Francisco Bay, the Diablo Range, and the Santa Cruz Mountains greet you every day. That’s the reality at The Clara, a masterpiece designed by the world-class team at Bohlin Cywinski Jackson, with interiors crafted by AvroKO and landscapes by Surfacedesign, Inc.. With 508 homes—ranging from sleek studios to spacious three-bedroom apartments, townhomes, and penthouses—this 22-story tower offers something for everyone.

Nick Vanderboom, Chief Operating Officer at Related California, sums it up perfectly:

“The Clara offers a completely new standard of living in Silicon Valley, providing residents with a level design, amenities and services that are unmatched in this market. The Clara will anchor The Clara District, a vibrant new neighborhood in north Santa Clara with public parks, new restaurants and retail, offering residents an exceptional living experience in the heart of Silicon Valley.”

Design That Speaks to the Soul of Northern California

The Clara isn’t just a building—it’s a love letter to Northern California. The architecture draws inspiration from our region’s natural beauty, using local materials and organic forms to create a seamless connection with the environment. David Miller, AIA, Principal at Bohlin Cywinski Jackson, explains:

“It has been a great pleasure working with Related to establish a new precedent for high-rise living in Silicon Valley. Inspired by urban and natural context, the design of The Clara creates elevated residential and amenity environments that have an intrinsic connection to their surroundings.”

Step inside, and you’ll find homes that blend laid-back elegance with modern luxury. Think open gourmet kitchens with Italian cabinetry, Caesarstone countertops, and Bosch smart appliances, paired with bathrooms featuring custom vanities and glass-enclosed showers. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood each space with light, while the penthouses and townhomes kick it up a notch with Thermador appliances, wine refrigerators, and private courtyards. Andrew Lieberman, Managing Principal and Design Director at AvroKO, describes the vibe:

“At The Clara, we aimed to create a relaxed yet sophisticated environment that reflects the laid-back sensibility of the region. By using local woods, curated stones, and ceramics, we anchored the design with a strong sense of place.”

Amenities That Rival a Five-Star Resort

Living at The Clara means having access to amenities that make every day feel like a vacation. Here’s a taste of what’s in store:

  • A 6,500-square-foot fitness and yoga studio with a sauna, steam room, and private treatment room.
  • The Twenty-Two Lounge, complete with a private dining room, demonstration kitchen, and—yes—a karaoke room!
  • The Redwood Den, a cozy fireside lounge and library for unwinding.
  • The Parkside Lounge, an indoor-outdoor coworking space with conference rooms.
  • A children’s playground, dog run, and pet spa for the little ones (and furry friends!).

The real showstopper? The 8th-floor sun terrace, overlooking the foothills and Levi’s Stadium, with a 75-foot lap pool, spa, cold plunges, grilling stations, a pizza oven, and bocce courts. Plus, a rooftop deck with a firepit offers panoramic views that’ll leave you speechless. James Lord, Founding Partner of Surfacedesign, Inc., ties it all together:

“As landscape architects, we are always interested in connecting people to their natural surroundings, and here at The Clara, the landscape design is an expression of the evocative colors of the San Francisco Bay Salt Ponds.”

The Clara isn’t just a standalone gem—it’s the heart of The Clara District, an emerging neighborhood that’s bringing new energy to Santa Clara and North San Jose. With pedestrian and bike pathways, new restaurants, boutique fitness spots, and entertainment options like Levi’s Stadium all within walking distance, this area is buzzing with potential.
