The 1207 North Capitol Multifamily Housing project addresses the critical need for affordable housing while nurturing a sense of community and well-being among residents and the broader neighborhood, Danco Group said on its website.

Corporation for Supportive Housing, a New York City-based nonprofit, provided $14 million in financing to a Danco Group affiliate at the time of the property purchase, county documents show. Although the deal has been completed, it wasnt immediately clear when construction might begin.

The 1207 North Capitol multifamily housing project is a forward-thinking development in San Joses Alum Rock neighborhood, Danco said.

The apartment complex is a transit-oriented development, according to the developer, with a light rail station located nearby.

The project includes over 13,000 square feet of communal areas such as lounges, community rooms, fitness facilities, and exterior open spaces, Danco Group said on its website. These areas promote physical health, recreation, and socialization, fostering human connections and a strong sense of community.

The project is also near two retail centers and restaurants, as well as single-family homes.

With careful planning and a focus on creating a dynamic residential community, the project will be a fundamental part of the Alum Rock community in San Jose, Danco said.
