675-685 E Middlefield Road Masterplan

Mountain View CA | 2021-2024

The 675/685 E Middlefield Rd Master Plan for Prometheus Real Estate Group is a transformative project responding to the City of Mountain View’s 2018 Precise Plan. Situated in the heart of the East Whisman area and directly adjacent to a light rail station, the masterplan proposes a vibrant, mixed-use development with a focus on multimodal access, nature, and convenience. Working closely with the client, two architecture firms, a landscape architect, and civil engineers, Martin Glastra van Loon* led the early masterplan alternatives study, and the urban design of the resulting preferred masterplan concept. The masterplan transforms the existing 11 acre suburban office park into a walkable urban neighborhood with a distinct and context-appropriate garden character. The plan seamlessly integrates a one acre park with seven buildings, featuring a dynamic mix of residential, commercial, and office spaces. An intentional framework of connected urban spaces guides the location and design of the adjacent buildings, while maximizing pedestrian access to the transit station.

The Masterplan was approved by the City of Mountain View by the end of 2024, with construction to commence shortly thereafter.

This project was completed by Martin Glastra van Loon prior to joining Cascadia Partners.
