Support Homes at 555 Middlefield: Stop the Delays!

Mountain View City Council

Mountain View families and workers shouldn't have to wait years for new housing. On March 24th, the City Council has a clear choice: approve the addition of 323 new homes at 555 W. Middlefield Road or let another opportunity for workforce housing sit on the shelf.

This project is a common-sense win. It transforms underutilized surface parking into a vibrant community—including 48 affordable homes, while protecting every single resident currently living on-site. The 2026 redesign makes this project financially feasible, ensuring that we can actually break ground for our local workforce.

Tell the City Council: No more delays. Vote YES on March 24th!

We have a rare chance to turn a massive surface parking lot into a vibrant place for people to live. On March 24th, the City Council will vote on a redesign for 555 W. Middlefield Road that finally makes building these 323 new homes, including 48 affordable units, a reality.

This isn't just about adding housing; it's about making sure it actually gets built. By swapping expensive underground pits for modern above-ground garages, we are clearing the path for construction to start now instead of years from now.

This project is a win for our neighborhood:

Zero Displacement: Every single current resident stays in their home. These apartments are built around the existing community.

Asphalt to Park: We are reclaiming over an acre of parking space to create a brand-new 1.3-acre public park and green space.

Safer Connections: New pedestrian and bike paths will finally link Middlefield Road and Cypress Point Drive.

Climate Ready: All-electric buildings that help Mountain View meet its sustainability goals.

I’m asking the City Council to stop the delays, support the redesign, and vote YES on March 24th!
