High-rise apartments in Campbell could replace closed restaurant

The location of a beloved Campbell restaurant that shut down during the pandemic could be redeveloped for housing.

Saratoga-based E. Barbano Enterprises, LLC has submitted a proposed plan to redevelop the 2.4-acre property at 980 E. Campbell Ave., where the blighted Hick’ry Pit restaurant still stands. The preliminary design is for a seven-story building with 324 apartments across from The Pruneyard shopping center. There would be retail space on the ground floor and underground and above ground parking for 577 vehicles. The project would also include a fitness room, club rooms, a pool and spa and common deck on the top floor.
