来自砂山物业的描述：砂山物业公司（“砂山物业”），硅谷一流的业主和开发商，今天宣布新的设计方案——彻底改造陈旧的Vallco商场，成为Cupertino的混合使用中心镇和城市的新兴产业中心。计划设计成为一个充满活力的，可持续的，安全的新社区，集零售，餐饮，娱乐，休闲，办公，住宅，开放空间和公共设施于一体的建筑。Vallco山还具有占地30亩社区公园和自然保护区，这不仅将成为最大的社区公园，也是世界上最大的绿色屋顶。Vallco投资Cupertino社区30亿美元。

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
FROM SAND HILL PROPERTY COMPANY (Aug. 26, 2015):
Sand Hill Property Company (“Sand Hill Property”), a leading Silicon Valley-based property owner and developer announced today new plans to completely transform the outdated Vallco Shopping Mall into The Hills at Vallco – to become Cupertino’s mixed use town center and the heart of the City’s emerging downtown. Plans include a vibrant, sustainable, walkable and safe new neighborhood with a mix of retail, dining, entertainment, recreation, offices, housing, open space and public amenities. The Hills at Vallco also features an unprecedented 30-acre community park and nature preserve, which will not only be the largest community park in Cupertino, but also the largest green roof in the world. The Hills at Vallco represents a $3 billion investment in the Cupertino community.



曾经繁华的vallco商场如今销售下滑，消费者数量减少，以及主要商家撤离。梅西商场在2015三月关闭，这是十多年来比较不起眼的商场。西尔斯最近宣布他们今年十月关闭，入住率将降至百分之五十以下。这座商城开发商在2014年底购买了一座沙丘，四个不同所有者的50英亩地皮。居民和城市一起工作，砂山的独特设计着实令人赞叹不已，可持续性和独特的步行街道，以人为本、鼓励社区参与，促进健康的生活方式。

The once bustling Vallco Shopping Mall has faced decades of declining sales and fading consumer interest as well as major vacancies. Macy’s closed in March 2015, and the lower level of the mall has been shuttered for more than a decade. With Sears recently announcing their closure this October, occupancy will fall below 50 percent. The mall was purchased by Sand Hill in late 2014, and the successful assemblage of all 50 acres from four different owners allows for a unified vision and revitalization plan never before possible. Working with residents and the City, Sand Hill Property designed an exciting, sustainable and walkable neighborhood that puts people first and encourages community engagement, wellness and healthy lifestyles.



Vallco位于硅谷的心脏地带，坐落在苹果目前的总部和苹果校园之间，包括家庭和娱乐为主的零售商店，一个新的混合餐对公共区域和社区空间。Vallco也将保留以往受欢迎的娱乐场所，包括AMC电影院，保龄球馆，滑冰场，健身和宴会设施。这个新城镇中心占地2000000平方英尺，用来建设企业，从初创企业到新兴企业。传统的混合式建筑与住宅的零售店将涵盖680个市场公寓，80个普通公寓，专对老年人实施经济优惠的住房和40套公寓。

“Vallco将成为一个新兴的市中心，这个地方很真实，创新和美丽，活力和可持续，”里德是这样评价的。

Located in the heart of Silicon Valley and nestled in between Apple’s current Infinite Loop headquarters and Apple Campus 2, The Hills at Vallco will include family- and entertainment-oriented retail shops, a new mix of dining options and community space for public events. The Hills at Vallco will also retain popular entertainment venues including AMC Theaters, bowling, ice skating, fitness and banquet facilities. This new town center includes 2 million square feet of office space and can accommodate companies through their entire life cycle – from incubators and start-ups to emerging and established businesses. Traditional mixed-use buildings with residential over retail stores will include 680 market-rate apartments, 80 apartments dedicated for affordable housing and 40 apartments for seniors.
“The Hills at Vallco will become the heart of an emerging downtown, with an authentic sense of place, connection, innovation and beauty, and a level of vibrancy and sustainability not yet experienced in Silicon Valley,” said Reed Moulds, Managing Director, Sand Hill Property, who is leading the redevelopment effort.“



崭新的的公园和开放空间

Vallco山具有占地30英亩的公园和自然保护区。这种创新的绿色屋顶，超越了以往的绿色屋顶的设计方式，提供休闲资源，人们在3.8英里小道上慢跑和散步，葡萄园，果园和有机花园，一个圆形剧场，儿童游乐区、植物和鸟类物种的庇护所。社区公园和自然保护区的目的是方便居民日常生活的需要。Vallco还将包括Picchetti牧场的开放空间，更多的创新主意，起伏的山丘，树木的种植，将为邻近住宅区提供一个私密的区域。

Moulds说，“Vallco所表达的生活方式体现了硅谷的创新和创造力，增强了Cupertino的社会，经济地位，是硅谷的技术中心和建筑中心，”

Unprecedented Parks & Open Space
The Hills at Vallco features an integrated 30-acre community park and nature preserve for all Cupertino residents to enjoy. This innovative green roof goes beyond previous green roof designs and provides unprecedented recreational resources, 3.8 mile trail network for jogging and walking, vineyards, orchards and organic gardens, an amphitheater, children’s play areas and a refuge for native species of plants and birds. The community park and nature preserve are intended to be easily accessible, as well as very user- and pet-friendly. The Hills at Vallco will also include more trails than the Picchetti Ranch Open Space Preserve in Cupertino, while the shape of the rolling hills, preservation of existing trees and planting of new ones will provide a privacy buffer to the adjacent residential neighborhoods.
“The Hills at Vallco expresses the lifestyle, innovation and creativity of Silicon Valley, and reinforces Cupertino’s position as the social, economic, technology and architectural center of Silicon Valley,” said Moulds.



可持续发展

该环境规划将获得LEED白金认证。这一建造的主要概念是使用再生水灌溉，保暖，冷却系统和回收雨水，以减少水的消耗。可持续发展的公园适应本土耐旱和适应气候的绿化。绝大多数现有的树木将被保存起来，种植数百棵新的树木。绿色屋顶，自然通风和智能技术非常节能，又能保持建筑内和周围区域的凉爽透风，简直就是冬暖夏凉。砂山的建筑将与当地水利机构和供应商合作，为vallco提供更多的水利资源。

Sustainability
This environmentally-conceived plan will target LEED Platinum certification. Key elements to this goal are the use of recycled water for irrigation, heating, and cooling systems and recapture of rainwater to reduce water consumption. The sustainable park will feature native, drought tolerant and climate responsive landscaping that thrives on little to no water. The vast majority of existing trees will be preserved and hundreds of new trees will be planted. The green roof, natural ventilation and smart technology will ensure energy efficiency, keeping buildings and surroundings cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Sand Hill Property will partner with local water agencies and providers to extend recycled water directly to The Hills at Vallco.



世界知名设计公司

砂山物业所选择的两个世界著名的设计师，拉斐尔建筑师和景观建筑师奥林，他们都具有国际化的专业知识，也有在硅谷建设的经验。周边社区，提供零售，住宅，就业，学校设施，城市广场，公园，游乐场和小径的社会功能配合的相当好。最出色的部分就是最大的绿色屋顶，大家都可以来观赏。


共同合作

在招聘设计事务所之前，沙丘地产商进行了广泛的社会调查-----如何地重建过时的商场。本公司举办的20个社区活动，有1050多名居民和企业主参与进来，并获得了3800多条建议。他们的反馈包括对各种餐厅的建议，商店和娱乐，开放空间的区域，保护和改善学校，交通问题，保留现有的树木，确保创造一个真正的城市中心。

“我们正在实现总体规划，采纳Cupertino社区优先建议，“Moulds说，“我们还是要继续发展最受欢迎的娱乐场，AMC电影院，保龄球馆，滑冰场，健身和宴会设施，成为一个真正的市中心，Cupertino的居民一直希望，他们可以在那里快乐购物，吃饭，生活，工作，学习和玩耍。”


交通运输解决方案

Vallco将把运输的替代方式最大化最佳化，尤其是行人和骑自行车的人。砂山的财产将拓宽改造沃尔夫路/ i-280立交桥，改进路口交通信号，建立一个运输中心点。这个新的市中心区是基于传统城镇中心的设计，使步行和自行车的路径变得友好安全。


保护和改善苹果学校

砂山物业公司认识到还有其他重要的社会问题，库比蒂诺联合学区和佛利蒙联合高中学区也在宣布联手合作，确保这一建造在当地学校带来积极影响。

“如果获得批准，Vallco将带来超过20000000美元的效益。”库比蒂诺联合学区负责人温迪说，“Vallco业主将在原南艾伦学校的地址上建立一个全新的可容纳700名学生的小学，改善和扩大柯林斯/南艾伦学校的体育领域，创建具有1000000美元基金捐赠的第八届优美地国家公园科学计划。”

“史无前例的协作和创新，使得学校得到了改进，减小了学校现有空间压力，”菲利斯说。“如果可以，Vallco不仅保护也能改善我们的学校。”


此外，Vallco融入到一个新的10000平方英尺的佛利蒙联合高中学区。这种灵活的，混合使用为学生活动提供空间，成为学生主导的企业，并成为基础的学习活动中心区，学生可以在这里建立项目，展示艺术和举办机器人比赛。创新中心和额外的开发费用加起来超过两千万美元。

“Vallco是社区和学校的双赢项目。砂山公司为整个社区学生的教育经验提供帮助，非常振奋人心。”波莉•博韦说。

砂山公司将把这一计划提到日程上来。社区成员也被邀请去了解更多关于Vallco的事项，有意者可访问TheHillsAtVallco.com。

World Renowned Design Firms
To make this vision a reality, Sand Hill Property selected two world-renowned designers, Rafael Viñoly Architects and OLIN Landscape Architects. Both have national and international expertise, as well as local Silicon Valley experience. The overall design integrates seamlessly into the surrounding community and offers access to retail, residences, employment, school facilities, town squares, parks, playgrounds and trails. Distinct to their environmentally friendly design is the world’s largest green roof, which will be publicly accessible.

Community Engagement
Before hiring the design firms, Sand Hill Property conducted an extensive community engagement process focused on how to best redevelop the outdated mall with an eye towards making life in Cupertino even better than it already is. The company hosted 20 community events, met with more than 1,050 residents and business owners and received more than 3,800 suggestions. This feedback included requests for a variety of restaurants, shops and entertainment, open space elements, protecting and improving schools, traffic and connectivity solutions, preserving existing trees and ensuring that the project created a true town center for Cupertino.
“We are fulfilling the General Plan and responding to Cupertino community priorities and feedback,” said Moulds. “What we heard from the community and have done is to keep and integrate the most popular entertainment venues and uses like AMC Theaters, bowling, ice skating, fitness and banquet facilities into a true downtown that Cupertino residents have always wanted, where people can shop, dine, live, work, learn and play.”

Transportation Solutions
The Hills at Vallco will also maximize transportation alternatives, particularly for pedestrians and bicyclists. Sand Hill Property will lead the effort to widen and rebuild the Wolfe Road/I-280 interchange and bridge, make intersection and traffic signal timing improvements, build a Transit Center onsite and fund a free community shuttle for Cupertino residents. This new downtown district, premised on a traditional town center design, will be connected throughout with pedestrian- and bike-friendly paths, which will also serve neighboring areas.

Protecting and Improving Cupertino Schools
Recognizing that there are other important community issues, Sand Hill Property, Cupertino Union School District and Fremont Union High School District have also announced a partnership to ensure the proposal has a net positive impact on local schools.
“If approved, The Hills at Vallco will bring more than $20 million to Cupertino Union Schools,” said Cupertino Union School District Superintendent, Wendy Gudalewicz. “With The Hills at Vallco, the owners will build a brand new 700 student elementary school at the former Nan Allen School site, replace all portable classrooms at Collins Elementary School with permanent ones, improve and expand athletic fields at Collins/Nan Allen schools and create a $1 million endowment for the 8th grade Yosemite Science Program.”
“Thanks to unprecedented collaboration and innovation, these new and improved schools will accommodate students from Vallco, provide space for hundreds of existing students and relieve pressure from existing schools,” said Phyllis Vogel, Board President, Cupertino Union School District. “If approved, The Hills at Vallco will not only protect but improve and strengthen our schools.”

In addition, integrated into The Hills at Vallco is also a new 10,000-square-foot Innovation Center designed for the Fremont Union High School District. This flexible, mixed-use center will serve as incubator space for students throughout the District and will spawn creative endeavors including student-led businesses, and serve as a hub for the District’s work-based learning initiatives, and as a place where students can build projects, display art and host robotics competitions. The Innovation Center and additional developer fees add up to more than $20 million for local high schools.
“The Hills at Vallco is a win-win for the community and our schools. We are extremely excited to partner with Sand Hill Property to enhance the educational experience for students in Cupertino and throughout our community,” said Polly M. Bove, Superintendent of Schools, Fremont Union High School District.
Sand Hill Property will be submitting development plans for The Hills at Vallco to the City of Cupertino in the coming weeks. Community members are invited to learn more about The Hills at Vallco, register for updates and share their thoughts by visiting TheHillsAtVallco.com.
