Monticello(top left)

Size: 47,811 sq. ft. of retail
Developer and owner: Irvine Company
Key tenants: Nob Hill Foods, The Yellow Chilli, Pressed Juicery, California Pizza Kitchen, Konjoe Burger Bar, Vitality Bowls, and Starbucks.
Other uses/components of project: Walkability, accessibility, and convenience have never been more prized, particularly so in this tech corridor. With Apple, Intel, Nvidia, Qualcomm, and Texas Instruments nearby, the centrality of Monticello is one of its greatest perks for both residents and tenants. The retail at this upscale mixed-use development is highly visible from Lawrence Expressway and Monroe Street with over 84,000 cars passing by each day. For the next generation eager to reduce its carbon footprint, Monticello is steps from the Lawrence Caltrain station, which links to Santa Clara, San Mateo and San Francisco counties.
For Irvine Company, knowing its audience is essential in tailoring an authentic neighborhood experience and meaningful social hub. A diverse mix of stores and restaurants reflect the residential community — cult-status included. The Yellow Chilli restaurant debuted its U.S. flagship by acclaimed Indian chef Sanjeev Kapoor. And come October, Nob Hill Foods opens its first Santa Clara store customized to the Monticello style where an alfresco café fuels the indefatigable tech crowd with coffee and local craft brew. Additionally, the 24,000-sq.-ft. anchor tenant will feature meat, seafood, organic produce, a bakery, and expanded grab-and-go meals. The live-work-play blueprint was conceived with a certain resident in mind: dynamic, urban, connected, progressive. The resort-inspired Mediterranean vibe encourages an active lifestyle with pools, a fitness center, and abundant indoor-outdoor living spaces, including lounges and courtyards. Here, year-round social events cultivate a compelling social fabric. The integrated concierge: Expect text-alerts of pressing happy hours.
