Cupertino approves housing dev’t at former Vallco mall after facing cutbacks and delays

After facing cutbacks and years of delays, the largest single housing project in Cupertino’s history has secured its long-awaited city approval for a mixed-use development on the former Vallco Town Center site.

The Rise, a mixed-use development on the corner of Wolfe Road and Stevens Creek Boulevard, encompasses 50 acres. The development will include 2,669 apartments and homes, with more than seven acres of public park and gathering spaces and about 230,000 square feet of retail space. The project received approval from the city’s community development department Friday.
