Nabr is a new type of consumer-first housing company. Founded by Roni Bahar, Bjarke Ingels, and Nick Chim – combining their experience in real estate, architecture, and technology, respectively – Nabr is the result of a shared vision for an improved way of urban living, defined by quality, sustainability, and attainability.
Nabr uses technology and productization to increase the production of apartments available for sale in major cities, starting with SoFA One in San Jose which is co-designed by BIG and slated to break ground in late 2022.
Located at 98 E San Salvador, residents will be at the heart of SoFA, downtown San Jose’s arts district, in close proximity to dining and local entertainment. The development is roughly a mile from Diridon Caltrain Station, one block from San Jose State University, and centrally located near all major tech employers, offering residents abundant access to commuting options.
“Our goal is to pioneer a new sustainable urban lifestyle. At SoFA one, residents have access to a Scandinavian-standard of quality of life, yet they are still in the hub of Silicon Valley, America’s greatest innovation ecosystem. Residents get the best of both worlds."
SoFA One will be built with sustainably-sourced North American timber. Each apartment offers residents access to light and air via its high ceilings and panoramic windows, with the ability to grow plants and cultivate green spaces both indoors and outdoors on large private balconies.
Nabr homes are high-design, yet low-impact. Each apartment is carbon neutral in operations, with an all-electric design and energy-efficient façade that leverages the latest View electrochromic glass. With Nabr, residents can live in a city while maintaining a connection to nature.
Amenities include a shared rooftop park, electric vehicle charging, bike and personal storage, community garden, and access to wellness and fitness facilities. Ground level retail spaces will be programmed to complement the neighborhood and serve as gathering points for the community. SoFa One will offer over 125 available homes, which consumers can reserve with a 1% payment.
