You might be most familiar with Santa Clara because of Levi's Stadium and the tech campuses that fuel Silicon Valley, but it's also home to a compelling food scene. The food landscape here mirrors Santa Clara's international workforce, with Syrian shawarma, Peruvian lomo saltado, Japanese izakayas, and Uyghur hand-pulled noodles sitting side by side. It's also a notable Korean food hub, with an impressive concentration of KBBQ spots, late-night Korean pubs, and modern Seoul-style cafes that keep pace with anything in the South Bay and beyond.

Georgia-based PulteGroup wants to transform the Homestead Shopping Center into a 147-townhome development, complete with about 20 affordable homes and 341 parking spaces. The three- and four-story project, located at 3521 and 3591 Homestead Road, also includes nearly 5,000 square feet of commercial space. More than 10 storefronts in the existing shopping center would be demolished, including one of the city's only Korean supermarkets and Chinese herbal medicine shops - and small business owners aren't leaving without a fight.
"As of close of business Monday, the proponents had not filed the above-mentioned documents," said a letter signed by City of Santa Clara Clerk Bob O'Keefe. "The City Clerk/Elections Official has no discretion in accepting nor shall accept any late mandatory filings." Kertes' campaign, launched Sept. 16, failed to turn in paper work showing at least 2,055 unique signatures from the more than 10,000 registered voters in District 5 needed for a recall effort on a special election ballot.
The $210 million price is roughly half, or 47.7% below, the property's assessed value of $401.9 million. The new owners paid 31.2% less than the $305.1 million that the seller, Clarion Partners, paid for the site in 2015. The deal shows that even the presence of tech company Applied Materials as a tenant doesn't guarantee immunity from the economic maladies that have come to afflict the Bay Area office market.
