The Iamesi Village project located in downtown San Jose calls for five stories of dwelling units over parking, with a density of 207 units per acre. This 135 unit apartment building will offer 118 studio units and 16 one- bedroom units at 30-50% of the Area Median Income. BASE has worked in collaboration with the developer First Community Housing and Architects FORA to design these apartments to enhance the existing neighborhood.

​

The building will be LEED Platinum certified. The sustainable design features a green roof and a large, exterior landscaped podium which will

capture and infiltrate water into a rain garden at the ground level.

​

Iamesi Village will be the affordable portion of the North San Pedro Residential Project, a large multi-phased housing master plan developed by Intracorp Companies, Barry Swenson Builder, and First Community Housing in partnership with the San Jose Redevelopment Agency. The 5.72-acre site is immediately adjacent to San Jose’s Downtown Core Area. FCH’s involvement with the project enabled the RDA to secure a $24 million Infill Infrastructure Grant from the State of California.
