In the bustling and thriving area of West San Jose, there are exciting plans for future growth and development. Among these plans is the potential addition of a new eatery, as the popular Chick-fil-A chain continues to expand its presence in the Bay Area.
The proposed location for this new restaurant is at 4400 Stevens Creek Blvd., where an existing 10,400-square-foot commercial building currently stands. If approved, this building would be demolished and replaced with a 5,245-square-foot, 70-seat restaurant. This area is situated near the Stevens Creek Promenade project, which was approved years ago as a mixed-use urban village concept. However, due to changes in the real estate market, the project has faced challenges in moving forward.
Chick-fil-A already has nine open locations in Santa Clara County and has plans to add more in the surrounding areas. Just earlier this year, the company submitted plans for a new 78-seat restaurant at 1301 W. San Carlos St., providing the company with potential locations in close proximity to the popular Santana Row and Westfield Valley Fair shopping areas.
However, not all of Chick-fil-A's expansion plans have gone smoothly. The company recently faced significant backlash from the Dry Creek neighborhood in Campbell after proposing to build a new restaurant at 2060 S. Bascom Ave. As a result, the plans for that location have been put on hold.
The potential addition of Chick-fil-A to Stevens Creek Boulevard comes at a time when developers are reevaluating their plans for this major stretch of West San Jose. The original Promenade concept, proposed by Miramar Capital Group and MPG Stevens Creek Owner, included offices, apartments, retail spaces, restaurants, and a hotel between 4300 and 4400 Stevens Creek Blvd. However, with the current state of the office market, the plans have been adjusted. The project now considers including 173 affordable housing units in addition to the 191 market-rate units, as well as other potential uses for the site.
In addition to these changes, the developers of the Promenade have also submitted a request for review to determine the feasibility of adding a new car dealership on 3.8 acres of the development site. This shows their willingness to adapt and make the most out of the available space.
Overall, the potential addition of Chick-fil-A to the Stevens Creek area is an exciting prospect, and it will be interesting to see how the developers move forward with their plans for this ever-evolving section of West San Jose.
