Construction has begun for Clara Gardens, an affordable housing complex at Rockridge Geotechnical’s site at 3550 El Camino Real in Santa Clara. The project would create a new seven-story apartment complex while retaining a portion of the former Bella Vista Inn motel. The structure would contain 120 units, with 119 being affordable and one allocated to the on-site property manager, along with over 1,400 square feet of retail space and on-site parking in a 66-car garage.
