380-unit San Jose Homestead plans submitted

A piece of San Jose-area property long owned by the Skinner family is set to be redeveloped.

Rangewater Development submitted plans for San Jose Homestead, an apartment and townhome community to be located on a parcel of land between Old Kings Rd., St. Augustine Rd., and Dupont Ave. The plans show an 11-building, 280-unit apartment community with a clubhouse and pool facing Dupont Ave., as well as a social green and dog park in the center, along with a 19-building, 100-unit townhome community with its own pool and an entrance along Old Kings Rd. Altogether, the project will add 380 living units.

The property is currently home to the Skinner mansion, which will be demolished for the project. An existing gazebo and magnolia tree on the property will be retained.
