Arya Apartments provides 87 affordable apartments in a gateway building to downtown San Jose’s SoFA (South of First Area) Arts and Entertainment District. The 95,000-square-foot project’s design, amenities, and outreach strategies were developed to serve San Jose’s working artist community.

Working with Local Color, a San Jose arts organization, the project will also include a community flex space located at street level that can serve as a classroom, a gallery, and/or performance space for local artists and nonprofits and be accessible to residents and neighbors.

The colorful exterior design expresses the project’s location as a transition point between downtown high-rises and an adjacent historic single-family neighborhood. A robust community engagement process resulted in unanimous Planning Commission approval without opposition.
