Major Multifamily Project in Tech Happy Mountain View Breaks Ground

UDR-Domain Mountain View broke ground yesterday and we chatted with C.W. Driver NorCal project director Chris Graber to get the latest on the development.

Chris (snapped here trekking in the Nepalese Himalaya), who is overseeing construction, tells us the project will have 140 apartment units, 15 two-story townhomes and 4,400 SF of retail. The development will include a ground-level courtyard with a swimming pool and spa, outdoor dining area and fireplace lounge area. The Steinberg Architects-designed project got started yesterday and will wrap up in January 2017.
