The Stanford Shopping Center comprises the area located between Sand Hill Road, El Camino Real, Quarry Road and Vineyard Lane. The site includes a total of 70 acres, with 54 acres in the main shopping center area and an additional 15.88 acres in the area between Arboretum Road and Vineyard Lane. The area is zoned Community Commercial (CC). The Simon Group is proposing to expand Stanford Shopping Center with approximately 240,000 square feet of retail expansion space distributed throughout the site. The current shopping center contains approximately 1.4 million square feet of retail stores. The project includes new pad buildings along the front of the SSC towards El Camino Real, in the area east of Bloomingdales, and in the area currently occupied by an older parking deck at the corner of Shopping Center Way and Arboretum Road.
Simon also proposes a 120-room hotel with conference and meeting room facilities focused primarily on serving Stanford University, the Stanford Medical Center, and the Stanford Shopping Center. The location of the hotel has not yet been determined but is proposed to be located either at the corner of Quarry Road and Arboretum Road or at the corner of Quarry Road and Pear Lane. Two new levels of parking are also proposed on top of the newly constructed parking garage on the east side of the SSC.
