Top Floor 2 Bedroom Flat for Rent at Plant 51 in Downtown San Jose

Built nearly a century ago, the historic Plant 51 cannery has been reborn as a new residential community of lofts and flats. Plant 51 features a contemporary collection of living spaces and outdoor experiences that bring together beautiful design, unique character and an honest-to-goodness neighborhood. From the lushly landscaped courtyards that feature tranquil water features, to the plentiful open-air dining and gathering spots, to the cozy outdoor fire pit, Plant 51 is an oasis in the heart of Silicon Valley and downtown San Jose.

This floor plan offers 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms in 1,275 square feet of space. Beautiful hardwood floors are found throughout the living area along with elevated ceilings. The modern kitchen features granite slab counters and beautifully tiled backsplash, imported European cabinetry with soft-close drawers, polished chrome fixtures and faucets, and stainless steel appliances. The large open living area has a balcony that overlooks the interior courtyard.

The large primary bedroom features a walk-in closet with organizers and separate bathroom. Both bathrooms have tile floors and granite counters. The primary bathroom features a tile shower enclosure while the second bathroom has a shower-over-tub. There is in-unit laundry featuring full-sized front-loading washer and dryer.

Plant 51 is a secured building with secured parking. This unit comes with 2 dedicated tandem parking spaces. Besides all the outdoor features, which also includes a large BBQ area with wet bar, there is the Boiler Room, an original two-story brick warehouse space that has been converted into a modern gym with state-of-the-art fitness and cardio equipment. This space is where the original boilers that powered the cannery once resided, giving it the character of a true warehouse that will inspire any workout. Housed within the Boiler Room is a fitness studio, perfect for yoga and stretching. Overlooking the Boiler Room and opening onto the courtyard is the Mezzanine Lounge, a unique indoor gathering space that acts as the hub of the community.

Just steps from Plant 51 is Cahill Park, a 3.7 acre green space with playgrounds, a basketball court, and plenty of grass to enjoy a game of catch or a quiet picnic. Transportation options are plentiful, with Caltrain and VTA Light Rail in your backyard. At the end of Bush Street is Whole Foods Market and brewery. Downtown San Jose beckons from just a few blocks away. Enjoy a nice stroll to plentiful restaurants, bars, theaters, special events, and concerts and sports at the SAP Center. Everything you need to enjoy your Silicon Valley lifestyle is minutes away from Plant 51. And when you feel the need to get away from it all, your oasis is your backyard. Welcome home.
