4-story wood frame construction over a 2-story underground concrete garage 

Colonnade is a mixed-use development located in the upscale community of Los Altos in the heart of Silicon Valley. Situated along El Camino Real, the community provides almost 12,000 sq. ft. of retail along the main thoroughfare, with the residential portion of the project set further back on the property.

The Sares Regis team solved challenging development constraints, including maintaining an existing retail building and tenant during redevelopment. Due to the site context, the project needed to be positioned as a desirable – even aspirational – residential community along an otherwise commercial thoroughfare.  Colonnade accomplishes this through its unique interior vehicle court, which orients the building entry away from the El Camino, and by orienting the units around a series of graciously proportioned interior courtyards. 

Construction was completed in 2015, and the property was then master leased to Stanford University. The property was subsequently purchased by the university.
