SAN MATEO, CA—As the tech industry continues to shape the landscape of Silicon Valley, the region continues to churn out new development. Some projects hit the mark and some lack vital components.
One mixed-use transit-oriented development, Passage at San Mateo, is filling the gap for many unmet needs within this region. The project designed by MVE Architects takes a unique approach to public/private space with a passage throughout the site, incorporating local art and architecture into all aspects of the design, down to the signage.
Surrounded by class-A buildings and adjacent to a Caltrain station, Passage is comprised of 935 units and 35,000 square feet of retail, with the ability to reduce traffic by 25%. The Depot coffee shop will act as a mobility hub that will feature a pickup and drop off location for UBER/Lyft and Google, and is near the site for the recently introduced city bike share program.
