AVE by Korman Communities, in partnership with Ensemble Investments, has opened the doors to AVE Santa Clara in Silicon Valley. Offering both traditional apartment rentals and fully furnished apartments with flexible lease options, the new upscale 311-unit community is situated in the newly developed Clara District, steps from Levi’s Stadium.
“AVE Santa Clara brings an unparalleled living experience to the vibrant new Clara District, conveniently located in the heart of Silicon Valley. Residents enjoy access to resort-style amenities, including our first AVEnture Hub, which offers complimentary outdoor gear—such as bikes, kayaks, and camping equipment to connect with the area’s abundant outdoor resources and one another—as well as high-touch service and fun resident events,” says Lea Anne Welsh, president of AVE and chief operating officer of Korman Communities.
“Santa Clara is a place people want to live, with major tech employers and endless amenities from shopping and dining to sports and entertainment.”
In addition to the AVEnture Hub, residents will have access to a two-story fitness center; a hospitality deck featuring a resort pool, a hot tub, grilling stations, fire pit lounges, and on-demand food and beverage service; a Zen courtyard with a yoga lawn; and a dining pavilion. Well-appointed lounges, a dog park, a pet spa, a game room, a movie/sports lounge, private work pods, a 24/7 business center, and conference rooms on every residential floor round out the amenities.
Designed by BDE Architecture and Groundswell Design Group, the 311 apartments ranging from studios to three-bedrooms span across eight stories and offer expansive views, stainless steel kitchen appliances, quartz countertops, abundant closet space, Samsung washers and dryers, and blackout roller shades in the bedrooms.
Conrad Garner, managing director of Ensemble Investments, says, “The opening of AVE Santa Clara marks the realization of a vision that began a decade ago, when Ensemble recognized the potential in Santa Clara’s efforts to create a new residential district. Our strategic plan led to the acquisition of seven parcels within the Clara District and the pursuit of substantial development plans across these properties.
“Looking at the result today, we could not be more excited to be part of this emerging neighborhood—having successfully executed the first phase of our vision to bring a vibrant and fun restaurant and entertainment venue to life, contributing to affordable housing in the district, and now celebrating Korman Communities launch of AVE Santa Clara as a dynamic, modern mixed-use development.”
