Stanford Housing Envisioning dynamic, connected living in Palo Alto

Stanford University’s Housing Element Yield Study explored how four distinct properties might optimize housing opportunities. Proximity to the Caltrain Palo Alto Station informed the analysis, prioritizing transit-oriented development to enhance connectivity and the public realm. By examining placement, height, density, and massing, the study offered Stanford University a clear framework for balancing development goals with quality of place, ensuring each site contributes to the city’s character while advancing sustainable growth.
