Bringing it home to the Bay Area, was the groundbreaking ceremony for the historic Del Monte Packing Plant # 51 on Wednesday, May 25, at 734 The Alameda in San Jose.

Located just off The Alameda near the HP Pavilion, trendy restaurants, shopping and transportation, the 265 condos and condo/lofts of 51 - each with clean lines and uncluttered space - will reside within the restored facade of this amazing historic building. Each home is elegant, yet eclectic, offering up to 1,370 square feet of dynamic living space. 51 is a spectacular building, financed with a $100 million investment from Centex Homes and a bold architectural vision from the world-class Steinberg Architects.
