We turned a 2.88 acre former brownfield site with a menagerie of old buildings into a dynamic community space — and one of the most sustainable grocery stores in the nation. A catalyst for the revitalization of the neighborhood, this project brought a surge of energy to the area.
Typically, grocery stores are set back from the street at the far end of a large parking lot, emphasizing a vehicle-oriented environment. Instead, we enlivened the streetscape, encouraging pedestrian access and creating a new gateway between downtown San Jose and what is now referred to as the Alameda Urban Village.
A spacious entry courtyard with a shaded breezeway, creates an outdoor room to sit, relax, and eat a meal. We also created Whole Foods’ first in-house microbrewery in the Bay Area. The attached two-story brewery building houses a coffee and juice bar, and boasts a rooftop beer garden so guests can enjoy their stout with a view. The project is LEED certified.
