Residents also enjoy easy access to the VTA light rail for transportation to downtown San Jose.
“The opening of AVE Santa Clara marks the realization of a vision that began a decade ago, when Ensemble recognized the potential in Santa Clara’s efforts to create a new residential district. Our strategic plan led to the acquisition of seven parcels within the Clara District and the pursuit of substantial development plans across these properties. Looking at the result today, we could not be more excited to be part of this emerging neighborhood—having successfully executed the first phase of our vision to bring a vibrant and fun restaurant and entertainment venue to life, contributing to affordable housing in the district, and now celebrating Korman Communities launch of AVE Santa Clara as a dynamic, modern mixed-use development,” said Conrad Garner, Managing Director, Ensemble Investments.
AVE Santa Clara is now leasing and open for move-ins.
