New Renderings For The Rise, A Multi-Billion Dollar Masterplan By Apple Park In Cupertino

Sand Hill Property Company has released detailed renderings for the approved 50-acre redevelopment of Vallco Mall in Cupertino, Santa Clara County. Located across the I-280 freeway from Apple Park, ‘The Rise’ will offer a more public mixed-use site with open space, shops, offices, and over two thousand homes. The futuristic proposal features design by the internationally acclaimed Rafael Viñoly Architects.



The Rise was one of the first projects approved using Senate Bill 35 to streamline the ministerial review process. At full buildout, it would reshape the central Cupertino property with over seven million square feet of gross floor area. The mixed-use plans include approximately 2,400 residential units, 1.973 million square feet of commercial space for offices or laboratories, 429,000 square feet for retail or dining entertainment, and 40 acres of open space. A portion of that open space will be from the 29-acre green roof, surpassing Chicago’s Millennium Park to be the largest green roof in the world.

The parking capacity for cars and bicycles has not been specified. However, the project references the 15-minute city concept, imagined as an urban planning philosophy that forgoes the need for vehicles for daily activities.



Rafael Viñoly Architects is responsible for the design. The firm is internationally recognized for designing 432 Park Avenue in Manhattan and the Walkie Talkie tower at 20 Fenchurch Street, London. The firm has completed a few medical projects in the Bay Area, including the 2006-built Stanford Hospital, the Helen Diller Family Cancer Research Building in San Francisco, and UCSF’s Ray and Dagmar Dolby Regeneration Medicine Building within the Parnassus Heights Campus.

Charged with designing a town center that reflects the city’s identity as a nexus of innovation and cutting-edge technology, The Rise reflects this with seven grand cantilevered office towers, blooming out from the roof gardens on central pillars to provide views across the South Bay.
