Prometheus Opens 172-Unit Harken Apartments in Los Altos, First New Project in Decades
Prometheus Real Estate Group announced the opening of Harken, a 172-unit apartment community at 5150 El Camino Real in Los Altos. According to the company, this is Los Altos’ first new apartment project in decades.
The property offers 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom residences averaging 1,134 square feet each. The development includes 29 below-market-rate affordable housing units.
“Due to the lack of construction in recent years, it’s charming downtown, great neighborhoods, and strong school district, it’s been nearly impossible to find a place to live in Los Altos,” said Don Peterson, Senior Vice President at Prometheus Real Estate Group. “With all of this in mind, Harken was designed to offer something different: a boutique experience with quality materials and thoughtful details throughout.”
The company states that the property’s design focuses on creating spaces that encourage slowing down and connection. The design incorporates natural light and warm wood tones. Common areas include a private listening lounge, 2 lobbies, and a clubhouse available for work or gatherings.
Amenities at Harken include a 24/7 fitness center with Technogym cardio and strength-training equipment, a multi-functional training rack, a pool, a 20-by-10-foot spa, and towel service.
The property is located less than 2 miles from 3 Los Altos schools: Almond Elementary School, Ardis G. Egan Junior High School, and Los Altos High School. The community is also less than 2 miles from the San Antonio Caltrain station, which provides access to San Francisco and San Jose. The location sits between the downtowns of Los Altos and Mountain View.
Leasing begins this month, with occupancy expected to start in November. The waiting list is currently open, with tours scheduled for later this year.
Prometheus Real Estate Group is a private multifamily operator based in the Bay Area.
