This transit-oriented development (TOD) will be an 11+ acre property owned by VTA adjacent to the future 28th Street/Little Portugal BART Station (the first of four station in BART Silicon Valley’s Phase II expansion). The property is located on N. 28th Street between E. St. James and Five Wounds Lane, and in the old Union Pacific right-of-way between E. Santa Clara Street and E. Julian Street.
This land has the potential for mixed-used developments with activated ground floor uses that increase transit ridership, catalyze other equitable developments, and help provide revenue for transit capital investments and operations. Projects that are transit-oriented allow people to live and work near public transportation, which helps clear the air, ease traffic, and adds infrastructure investments to the community.
VTA's Transit-Oriented Development Program works with municipal, non-profit, and private partners to encourage the development of housing, retail, and employment centers in places that will help increase transit ridership and contribute to a vibrant community.
This project aligns with the BART Silicon Valley Phase II extension.
Design Development Framework
VTA is working with an urban design firm to create and conduct outreach for a Design Development Framework (DDF) that will guide the vision of future development proposals at the site. The final DDF will be used by VTA and stakeholders to evaluate initial and subsequent developer proposals and designs for transit-oriented developments on VTA-owned property. Both the DDF and the City’s Urban Village update will work in concert to promote equitable and inclusive TOD in the station area.
Community engagement for the DDF included outreach to a broad group of stakeholders. In Spring 2024, the DDF will be available for review and public comment.
