On Saturday, February 26, the Cupertino City Council held a groundbreaking for Westport Cupertino, a mixed-use development project that will bring much needed affordable and market rate housing to Silicon Valley. Representatives from each part of this development project spoke at the event, along with Congressman Ro Khanna and Santa Clara County Supervisor Joe Simitian.

Once completed, the 8.1-acre project site located at the former Oaks Shopping Center on Stevens Creek Boulevard, will provide:

• 259 new housing units
• 35 memory care rooms
• 20,000 square feet of retail
• 44,100 square feet of open space

The first phase of Westport Cupertino is anticipated to be completed in 2024. The project was approved for redevelopment by the Cupertino City Council in August 2020, and Council approved modifications to the project in December 2021. The Council’s most recent approval allows construction of affordable housing to move forward on its own separate, deed-restricted parcel and promises to be the largest residential development in Cupertino in more than five years.
