San Jose Condos

Cannery Square at Monte Vista
Condos and Townhomes

- Alanne Lee (SanJose.com) - August 13, 2007

Preserving San Jose history while adding fashionable urban living, Monte Vista has taken over the site of the Del Monte Cannery and utilized the essence of the cannery while turning the site into high-density living. A 160-foot-tall Del Monte water tower stands above the community and several of the cannery's original cement walls will be architectural accents to the rustic brick facades in the two communities that comprise Monte Vista.

Cannery Square at Monte Vista is comprised of condominiums that bring the historic city life into the modern era with rough brick exteriors and beautifully finished interiors. The new San Jose condos are not only chic but offer views of the Santa Cruz Mountains and Downtown San Jose. Affordable and attractive, the condos have one to three bedrooms and one to two bathrooms as well as underground, secured parking.

Townhomes at Monte Vista make up Madison Place, homes with the convenience of a master planned community that also preserves pieces of the Del Monte Cannery. Brick facades and preserved parts of the cannery make the exterior of the townhomes fashionable while the lavish interiors attract businesspeople to urban, hip living in Silicon Valley. San Jose homebuyers can choose from two to four bedrooms, two and one-half to four bathrooms and one or two car garages.

Monte Vista features several parks with bocce ball courts, picnic benches and BBQ areas to enjoy. Paths throughout the condo and townhouse communities are also designed to allow residents of the urban community the ability to take in the site that housed the historic Del Monte Cannery.

Living in Downtown San Jose has never been so desirable as it is with Monte Vista. Many people living and working in San Jose prefer to stay off the roads during their commute and instead rely on the VTA, biking or walking to their workplace. With many of San Jose's major employers easily reached from Monte Vista, the condos and townhomes are ideal for those who desire fashionable and conveniently located housing. The outstanding location puts residents steps away from the nightlife and dining in the heart of Downtown and the close proximity of Interstate 280 opens up commuting and traveling throughout the Bay Area.

A plaza for a proposed lightrail station will use a portion of the cannery's roof and be directly across from Monte Vista. Residents will be able to easily travel to San Jose's major employers or Downtown San Jose for dining and entertainment without ever having to get in a car.

Monte Vista's condos and townhomes combine the history of San Jose's Del Monte Cannery with modern and lavish amenities demanded by successful Silicon Valley homebuyers. Unbeatable location, views of the city and access make the urban living at Monte Vista so appealing and some of the best new home construction in San Jose.
