19 New Townhomes Proposed for Foothill Blvd

AlphaX RE Capital has filed a preliminary application to build 19 townhomes at 10012 and 10050 N. Foothill Blvd. in Cupertino, according to the city’s major residential projects page. The proposal would replace two commercial structures on a 0.78-acre site along North Foothill Boulevard, a corridor the city has increasingly listed for housing redevelopment. Cupertino says the application was received on Sept. 22, 2025, and the project’s vesting date is March 21, 2026. The project remains under review, city records show. ### Where exactly is the project and who is behind it? Cupertino identifies the site as 10050 and 10012 N. Foothill Blvd., with parcels APN 326-50-062 and 326-50-051. The city lists AlphaX RE Capital as the applicant and Alignment Architects, Inc. as the architect for the project. (cupertino.gov) San Francisco YIMBY reported on May 12 that the filing covers the same North Foothill Boulevard site and described AlphaX RE Capital as the project sponsor. That report said the proposal would remove two commercial buildings and replace them with townhouse construction. ### How many homes are proposed, and how many would be affordable? (cupertino.gov) Cupertino’s project page says the preliminary application includes 19 townhome units, including three below-market-rate units. The city lists the project among “Other Housing Development Projects” proposed since January 2024 and says those projects can involve community outreach and meetings before any decision is made. (sfyimby.com) San Francisco YIMBY reported the unit mix as one two-bedroom home, 12 three-bedroom homes and six four-bedroom homes. That report also said the 19 homes would be arranged across four structures. Cupertino’s public summary page does not include that level of detail in the excerpt available through search results. ### What state housing law is the developer using? (cupertino.gov) Cupertino’s listing says the project was submitted as an SB 330 preliminary application. Senate Bill 330 is a California housing law that can lock in certain local rules in effect when a qualifying preliminary application is filed. (sfyimby.com) San Francisco YIMBY reported that the Foothill Boulevard filing invokes SB 330 to streamline the approval process. The city’s project page does not characterize the effect of the filing beyond identifying it as an SB 330 preliminary application and giving the vesting date. (cupertino.gov) ### Is this the same as the 25-unit Foothill townhome proposal? A separate Cupertino project page lists “N. Foothill Townhomes” at the same addresses with a description of 25 for-sale townhomes, including 21 market-rate units and four affordable units, on 0.99 acres. That page says the application is under review. (cupertino.gov) Cupertino’s “Other Housing Development Projects” page, however, lists the same addresses and applicant with a preliminary application for 19 units on 0.78 acres. The city’s public pages do not explain the discrepancy in the search snippets available online. Based on those records, the site appears to have at least one more recent preliminary filing tied to the same North Foothill addresses. (cupertino.gov) ### What happens next in Cupertino’s review process? Cupertino says major residential projects can go through community outreach and public meetings before any decision is made, and it directs residents to the city’s agendas and minutes page for scheduled hearings. The city also maintains a broader “Major Projects” page that lists under-review developments across Cupertino. (cupertino.gov) The next public step will be posted by Cupertino if the project is scheduled for a meeting or hearing. As of the city pages indexed this week, the North Foothill townhome proposal is still listed as under review, with Gian Paolo Martire named as the city contact. (cupertino.gov) (cupertino.gov)
