A developer has submitted plans to San Jose City Hall for a large car sales and service complex. The project would replace an existing retail center located near the Westfield Oakridge mall.
Why it matters
The proposal signals a potential shift in the retail landscape near a major shopping hub. If approved, the project would see the demolition of long-standing retail space to make way for automotive commercial use.
The proposed dealership spans 175,400 square feet and involves three parcels currently owned by Perusina Winfield Family LP. The site is located at the intersection of Blossom Hill Road and Winfield Boulevard.
The players
Perusina Winfield Family LP
This entity is the property owner of the three parcels currently housing the retail center, gas station, and an Olive Garden building.
The details
The development plans on file include the demolition of an existing building that previously housed tenants such as Big 5 Sporting Goods and Mattress Nation. While the owner also holds the property occupied by an Olive Garden, that site is excluded from the development proposal.
Timeline
As of October 28, 2026, the development plans were officially on file at San Jose City Hall.
Market Landscape
This move highlights a broader trend of repurposing aging retail centers to accommodate specialized commercial hubs in high-traffic areas. The project reflects competitive efforts to utilize prime real estate near regional shopping destinations like Westfield Oakridge.
Residents and shoppers in the area should expect potential site closures or construction activity if the proposal proceeds to demolition. The project would fundamentally change the commercial offerings currently available along Blossom Hill Road.
The takeaway
Large-scale commercial redevelopments often undergo lengthy public review processes before moving to site preparation. Residents can monitor municipal planning portals to track upcoming public hearings regarding the Blossom Hill Road site.
