650 Live Oak in Menlo Park challenged brick to reimagine what a mixed-use development can bring to a community.
Focused on bringing community together, the project brings modern office space, green architecture, below market-rate housing, and urban density to Silicon Valley.
Although only .5 below market-rate units were required, brick and their team went above and beyond with two units, four times the requirement.
The project consists of a three-story mixed-use (office / residential) building and a three-story multi-family residential building that share two levels of subterranean parking; this is brick and the Minkoff Group’s response to growing demands for increased urban density in Silicon Valley.
17 new housing units for 38 residents and 17,000 sqft of new office space.
The project design includes a an outdoor library as a neighborhood resource. A community garden benefits residents even further; it provides space for the community to grow, gather, prepare, and enjoy food.
The community park makes this development shine; by minimizing the buildings on this compact urban lot and providing all too hard to find public green space, the project garnered not only client and neighborhood praise, but also unanimous planning commission approval.
