NORTH FORTYLOS GATOS, CASCREIHT CT09039NORTH FORTYLOS GATOS, CA09039010.04.13LOS GATOS, CA09.22.15WALKING TOURTHE NORTH 40PHASE IREALIZING THE VISIONAfter years of working with the Town of Los Gatos, Grosvenor, SummerHill Homes and Eden Housing believe we have captured the essence of the Town Council’s Vision Statement and Guiding Principles in an authentic Los Gatos village. Our plan features a mix of housing opportunites tailored to meet the Town’s unmet needs for places for young professionals, empty nesters, and seniors to live. The residences are tied together with an open space plan that embraces the site’s agricultural history through functioning community gardens and orchard treatments. Finally, the heart of the project comes alive with a specialty market and neighborhood retail where neighbors, friends and families can gather and celebrate the Los Gatos quality of life.2HEART OF THE DISTRICTSPECIALTY MARKET/ MARKET HALLLIVE, MEET, RELAXA DIVERSE AND VIBRANT NEIGHBORHOODWALKABLE TRANSITIONSTHE LARK AND TRANSITION DISTRICTS CONNECT AS ONEKEEPING THE NEXT GENERATION IN LOS GATOSGARDEN CLUSTER RESIDENTIALEMBRACING THE OUTDOOR LIFESTYLECONNECT, GATHER, GROWKEEPING THE NEXT GENERATION IN LOS GATOSROWHOME RESIDENTIALKEEPING THE NEXT GENERATION IN LOS GATOSCONDOMINIUM CLUSTER RESIDENTIALKEEPING THE NEXT GENERATION IN LOS GATOSCONDOMINIUM CLUSTER RESIDENTIAL
