Rivermark is located in the heart of Silicon Valley on the former Agnew Hospital site. This 225 acre planned urban community includes a retail center, hotel, park facilities, public school, senior housing, apartments, multi-family podium structures, townhouses and single-family homes. A proactive team approach between all design consultants provided an integrated design that lead to the project’s success. This community, designed in accordance with the new urban concepts, features neighborhoods with a variety of housing attractive to younger, older, singles and families; a town center within walking distance of the housing; a network of streets and street deflections that calms traffic and increases visual interest; and designed outdoor spaces that help create the sense of “place.”
