Dyett & Bhatia completed a Concept Plan for the 440 acre area around two new light rail stations and the future BART station in Milpitas in 2005, and was recently retained by the City to prepare a full Specific Plan and EIR under a separately bid contact. Currently the area includes industrial uses and the Great Mall, a large regional shopping center. The City wants to transform the area with higher intensity transit-oriented development, as well as strengthen the City’s retail sector, and facilitate projects that give Milpitas greater regional identity.          

Dyett & Bhatia is working extensively with property owners, public agencies, and other stakeholders in the area to develop a long term plan that is visionary and yet grounded in market reality. The plan includes new residential neighborhoods, areas for new retail development, and mixed use sites that can accommodate both employment and residential uses over time. The Specific Plan will establish land uses and densities, as well as the layout of blocks, streets, and open space. It will set forth guidelines and illustrations of the type of development desired for each individual subarea.
