Heritage House Apartments and Valle Verde Apartments will consist of two separate buildings featuring a combined 90 units of affordable multi-family housing, including 44 permanent supportive housing units.

The architect is Gunkel Architecture. Abode will provide ongoing supportive services to residents with special needs.
Casa de Novo Redevelopment
Casa de Novo is a former hotel that has been converted into a supportive housing community in San Jose. Abode Housing Development has owned and managed the 56-unit complex since 2016. The site currently has both long-term apartments and interim housing.
Abode Housing Development plans to redevelop the site and will more than double the number of units, providing more affordable housing to help alleviate the housing crisis in Santa Clara County. Construction of the six-story development will be executed in two phases. Phase I construction is expected to finish by Fall 2024. Phase II is expected to begin in early 2025. After the nearly 1-acre property is redeveloped, each of Casa de Novo’s phases will have 58 new apartments — a total of 116 units.
All apartments will have a full kitchen, bathroom and living space. The homes also will have access to on-site community areas, which will include a large community room, interior courtyard on a terrace above parking spaces, secure bicycle parking, laundry facilities, computer access, and offices and meeting rooms for property management and social services. Abode will provide on-site services for residents, including various life skills, financial planning, job training, physical fitness and wellness, and social services support. Property management staff, including a resident manager who will live at the site, will work with services staff to ensure that residents are able to thrive and remain stably housed.
