The Julian | San Jose, CA

Downtown San Jose's core was drawing a growing population of young professionals, and the North San Pedro Master Plan set out a framework to house them. Intracorp embraced that need with a vision for a large multifamily community on West Julian Street, within walking distance of San Pedro Square Market, the SAP Center and San Jose State University.

Delivering 408 dwelling units on one downtown site required a careful stacking of uses: four levels of apartments over two levels of parking and commercial space, in a six-story building of Type V over Type I construction. The design also needed an identity rooted in place. Designed by BDE Architecture, the project found it in a "Modern Mission" approach, modern and clean design grounded with a nod to the historic Mission style, while Artisan-inspired art and decor give the interior amenity spaces a unique character.

Completed in 2021, The Julian offers a pool and spa deck, meeting rooms and co-working spaces, a club room with kitchen and dining room, a fitness center and bike storage with a repair station. Outdoors, residents enjoy a landscaped courtyard, a dog park and a roof deck with fire pit and bar.
