Student housing proposed at former San Jose restaurant site
SAN JOSE — A student housing complex could sprout on the site of the former Vung Tau restaurant after a developer paid just under $3 million for the East Santa Clara Street property, according to documents filed on Aug. 25 with the Santa Clara County Recorder’s Office.
Following its purchase of the former restaurant site at 535 East Santa Clara St. for $2.9 million, Tripalink Real Estate, acting through an affiliate, has proposed a 41-unit student housing development.

Several of the units would contain shared bedrooms. The project, which would be at the northwest corner of East Santa Clara Street and North 12th Street, is expected to accommodate 147 bedrooms and 165 beds, a proposal on file with San Jose city planners shows.
The minimum bedroom size would be 70 square feet, according to project plans.

The project’s open spaces are expected to include a courtyard on the podium level and in the backyard area. The timeline for completion and availability to renters wasn’t immediately known.
The proposed housing project would bulldoze the curved building of the former Vung Tau restaurant.
The Vietnamese restaurant had been part of a chain of Bay Area dining establishments operated by the Huynh family. It closed its doors about five years ago.
