19 New Townhomes Proposed for North Foothill

AlphaX RE Capital has a 19-unit townhouse proposal under review at 10050 and 10012 North Foothill Blvd. in Cupertino, according to the city's major residential projects page. The city lists the project, called North Foothill Townhomes, as an SB 330 proposal that is in review but does not yet have a formal application on file as of the city's posted status update. (cupertino.gov) Cupertino's planning records say the proposal would place the homes on 0.78 acres and include three below-market-rate units. San Francisco YIMBY, citing the preliminary filing, reported that the development would replace two commercial structures and distribute the homes across four buildings. (cupertino.gov) (cupertino.gov) The filing is one of several housing proposals now moving through Cupertino's pipeline, where the city says projects are at different stages and may involve community outreach and hearings before any decision. That means the North Foothill proposal is part of a broader review process, but city records do not show an approval date or hearing date yet. (cupertino.gov) ### Where exactly is the project, and who is behind it? The site is listed by Cupertino at 10050 and 10012 N. Foothill Blvd., with assessor parcel numbers 326-50-062 and 326-50-051. The city names AlphaX RE Capital as the applicant and Alignment Architects, Inc. as the architect. (cupertino.gov) San Francisco YIMBY reported on May 12 that the property sits along Foothill Boulevard between Stevens Creek Boulevard and Cupertino Road. The same report said the proposal would replace two existing commercial buildings, though the city summary page does not describe the current structures in detail. ### How many homes are proposed, and what kind are they? (cupertino.gov) Cupertino's project page says the preliminary application includes 19 townhome units, including three below-market-rate homes. That affordable-housing figure is the clearest public number attached to the filing in the city's own records. YIMBY reported that the unit mix includes one two-bedroom home, 12 three-bedroom homes and six four-bedroom homes. (cupertino.gov) The publication also said the homes would be arranged in four structures, a detail that helps explain the scale of the proposal on a relatively small site. ### Why does SB 330 matter for this filing? (sfyimby.com) Cupertino says the project was submitted as an SB 330 preliminary application on Sept. 22, 2025, with a vesting date of March 21, 2026. Under the city's explanation of the law, a qualifying applicant that files a complete formal application within 180 days can preserve the rules in place at the time of the preliminary filing, rather than being subject to later local changes. (cupertino.gov) The city's broader projects page still lists North Foothill Townhomes as "In Review" and shows no formal application submitted in the column dated Feb. 19, 2026. That suggests the public-facing status page may not yet reflect any later filing, or that the project remains in a preliminary review stage; the city page does not say which. (sfyimby.com) ### How does this fit into Cupertino's current housing pipeline? Cupertino says its major residential projects page tracks larger-scale housing proposals submitted since January 2024. The list includes approved, inactive and in-review projects across the city, including other townhouse and apartment developments on Stevens Creek Boulevard, McClellan Road, Bandley Drive and South De Anza Boulevard. (cupertino.gov) The North Foothill proposal is smaller than some of those projects, but it adds another residential conversion to a city pipeline that already includes redevelopment of commercial properties. That comparison is drawn from the city's project list and separate local coverage of other approved townhouse projects. (cupertino.gov) ### What can residents watch for next? Cupertino says projects scheduled for a public meeting or hearing will appear on the city's Agendas & Minutes page. The city also says members of the public who want to view plans that cannot be broadly distributed under state law can make an appointment with the Planning Division by emailing planning@cupertino.org. (cupertino.gov) As of May 14, 2026, the city still lists North Foothill Townhomes as in review. The next concrete milestone for residents is a posted hearing or updated application status from Cupertino naming whether a formal application has been filed and when the project will be considered.
