Plant 51

Plant 51 is a single-story adaptive-reuse residential complex completed in 2008 inside the former Del Monte cannery in downtown San Jose. Units are primarily one- and two-bedroom flats and multi-level lofts that retain industrial character: exposed brick, high vaulted ceilings in some lofts, expansive windows, hardwood floors and steel details. Interior features common across residences include breakfast bars or eat-in kitchens, walk-in closets, utility rooms or inside laundry, and occasional private balconies or patios. Shared spaces center on a landscaped courtyard with water features, barbecue stations and architecturally designed fire pits, plus a social lounge and billiard area. Fitness amenities are comprehensive for a low-rise community, with a gym, yoga studio and bicycle workshop/lockers; building services include secure smartphone entry, EV charging and underground parking with assigned spaces. Pet-friendly infrastructure includes a secured enclosed dog run. The site sits steps from Diridon Station, SAP Center/PayPal Park (HP Pavilion), Cahill Park and retail such as Whole Foods, offering strong walkability and direct transit access to Silicon Valley and commuter rail. HOA covers select utilities including heating and A/C and organizes frequent community events that emphasize social amenities and an active urban lifestyle.
