The Crossings, a transit-oriented development designed by Calthorpe

The Crossings, a transit-oriented development designed by Calthorpe Associates in Mountain View, California, continues to sell homes nearly as fast as they are built. One hundred and six single homes and about 50 townhomes are complete. Apartments (128 units) and more townhomes are under construction. Michael J. Rider, financial officer for TPG Development Corp., reports that the planned commuter transit stop was a major factor in sales — but residents are becoming anxious that the Caltrain station has not been built yet. The 16-acre project, which opened in the fall of 1994, will feature two small retail stores at the main entrance near the proposed commuter stop.
