Santa Clara Agrihood - Steinberg Hart |
The Agrihood development in Santa Clara continues to adapt with plans for 44 for-sale townhomes at 1816 Worthington Circle, replacing an earlier concept for a 160-unit apartment building. This change reflects responses to economic shifts like higher interest rates and construction costs that emerged after the pandemic. The Core Companies aims to keep the project moving forward by focusing on ownership opportunities that align with the community's needs. Located near Westfield Valley Fair Mall, this site sits on the edge of San Jose, offering a fresh way for people to experience integrated urban farming and modern housing in Silicon Valley.
The first phase of Agrihood opened in 2023 with 165 affordable apartments for seniors, complete with a 1.7-acre urban farm open to residents and neighbors. This setup promotes healthy living through access to fresh produce and communal spaces that encourage interaction. The new townhome proposal builds on that foundation, featuring five three-story buildings designed to maintain the walkable layout and farm integration. Such features make the area appealing for those seeking a balance between city convenience and natural elements, drawing more families and professionals to the region.
As of late September 2025, the project remains under review by the City of Santa Clara, with permits submitted starting in June. Pending approval, construction could begin later this year, filling a vacant parcel and adding to the housing options available.
