The planning effort is shaped by a set of guiding principles developed through collaboration with community members, planners, and local leaders.
Expanding housing opportunities to meet regional needs.
Designing streets and pathways that support safe travel for cyclists, pedestrians, and drivers.
Addressing environmental conditions through thoughtful planning and infrastructure.
Creating gathering spaces, parks, and neighborhood-serving destinations.
The planning process has included collaboration with residents, neighborhood organizations, and community leaders.
Workshops, surveys, and meetings have helped gather input from surrounding neighborhoods and identify priorities for the future of the site. Community associations and advocacy groups have helped shape the guiding principles that inform the project today. The result is a plan shaped through dialogue rather than developed in isolation.
The landscape that once shaped the golf course will continue to shape the community.
Projects of this scale require careful planning, coordination, and long-term commitment.
The Pleasant Hills redevelopment is being led by a team of experienced professionals working across planning, architecture, engineering, and environmental design. Together, the team focuses on guiding the project through the complex process of transforming a large site into a well-planned community.
The work involves balancing housing needs, infrastructure, environmental considerations, and neighborhood connectivity while ensuring the project aligns with the City of San José’s planning goals.
Pleasant Hills is being developed by Lakeside Community LLC, with the development leadership of Tony Arreola, Mark Lazzarini, Gary Dillabough, Jeff Arrillaga, and Roni Bahar.
The broader project team includes a multidisciplinary group of planners, architects, engineers, and environmental specialists.
