OUR PLANNED COMMUNITY
A preliminary design is currently underway to develop an affordable housing project comprising 120-140 units. These units will range from 1-bedroom to 3-bedroom configurations across 6 to 7 stories. Located within an 11-minute walk from the Sunnyvale Caltrain Station, the development emphasizes transit-oriented living. Sustainability is a key feature, with solar photovoltaics and all-electric systems integrated into the design. Additionally, residents will have access to a landscaped courtyard, on-site property management and resident services.
On July 18, 2024, MidPen hosted a community open house event on the site to solicit early feedback and share preliminary site information. The images shared at that meeting can be viewed at:

Preliminary plans are being developed and will be added when available.
Sunnyvale Downtown Specific Plan
295 South Mathilda is located within the West of Mathilda District of the Sunnyvale’s Downtown Specific Plan area, adjacent to the Downtown Commercial Core. Located on Block 16, the Downtown Specific Plan (DSP) calls for very high-density residential uses on this site to complement the Commercial Core and serve as a transition to the lower density residential neighborhood to the west.
Sunnyvale’s Downtown Specific Plan has a land use goal to establish Downtown as a cultural, retail, economic, and entertainment hub, with opportunities for employment, housing, and transportation. This includes supporting a diverse housing stock with below-market-rate housing of various sizes. Amongst other goals, the DSP also encourages pedestrian oriented street design and support for alternate methods of transportation.
