Market-Rate Homes at The Rise and Town Square West
The Rise is the redevelopment of the former Vallco Shopping Mall property near Stevens Creek Boulevard and North Wolfe Road in Cupertino. The overall project continues to provide for 2,669 homes, together with office, retail, dining, entertainment and public open space.
The first major residential district is Town Square West. Current plans call for 1,369 homes, including 232 affordable family homes and hundreds of homes that the developer says will be offered for purchase.
For prospective Cupertino buyers, the for-sale component is particularly significant. Cupertino has seen comparatively limited large-scale new condominium and townhome construction, and Town Square West could introduce a substantial new collection of ownership opportunities in one central location.

Preparing to Buy a Home at The Rise
I have been following The Rise redevelopment as it has progressed from the former Vallco Shopping Mall through multiple planning iterations and into active development. As Town Square West moves toward adding hundreds of homes intended for purchase, I am increasingly focused on what prospective buyers will need to know before residential sales begin.
My goal is to be involved with The Rise residential market from its earliest stages and to provide future purchasers with one of the most comprehensive independent sources of information about buying a home here.
That means following the project before a residential sales center opens or individual homes become available. Buyers who understand the project early should be better prepared to evaluate pricing, locations, floor plans and purchase options when sales information is eventually released.
What I Am Tracking for The Rise Buyers
The Rise Home Prices
Market-rate pricing has not yet been publicly announced. When pricing becomes available, I will compare it with existing Cupertino condominiums and townhomes, newer Silicon Valley developments and other housing alternatives available to buyers considering The Rise.
Floor Plans and Residence Types
The eventual mix of homes will be one of the most important considerations for buyers. I will track bedroom counts, square footage, building locations, floor levels, orientation, outdoor space and other characteristics as detailed residential plans are released.
Sales and Release Schedule
Large new developments may release homes in stages rather than offering every residence at once. I will follow announcements about which buildings or residences are being offered, when releases begin and whether homes are being divided into separate sales phases.
HOA Fees and Amenities
For condominium buyers, purchase price is only part of the financial picture. HOA assessments, insurance responsibilities, building amenities, common facilities and reserve planning can materially affect the long-term cost of ownership. These will be important parts of my analysis when homeowner documents become available.
Parking, EV Charging and Storage
Parking assignments, electric-vehicle charging, guest parking, bicycle storage and private storage can significantly affect both day-to-day convenience and future resale appeal. I will follow these details as they are released for the for-sale residences.
Deposits and Purchase Procedures
Buying new construction can be different from purchasing an existing Cupertino home. Once the sales program is announced, I will follow registration procedures, deposit requirements, purchase contracts, financing requirements, cancellation provisions and anticipated closing timelines.
Construction and Completion
The Rise is a major multi-phase development, so individual buildings may have different construction and occupancy schedules. I will continue tracking Town Square West construction milestones and how they relate to residential availability.
Can You Buy a Home at The Rise Yet?
Not yet through a publicly announced market-rate home sales program. As of August 18, 2026, the developer has announced that hundreds of Town Square West homes will be available for purchase, but public pricing, specific market-rate inventory and a general residential sales launch have not yet been announced.
That is precisely why I believe this is the right time for serious buyers to begin following the project rather than waiting until the first homes are released.
If you want to purchase at The Rise, join my waiting list now. I will update this page as meaningful new residential sales information becomes available.
Why Work With Bruce Wagg When Buying at The Rise?
Buying in a large new development involves more than selecting an attractive floor plan. A buyer should understand how a particular residence compares with surrounding Cupertino housing, what may eventually be built around it, how the development is phased and how its price compares with established condominium and townhome communities.
I have been covering The Rise and Cupertino real estate well before its first market-rate home became available for purchase. My ongoing work includes tracking the project's development history, housing plans, construction progress and its potential impact on the broader Cupertino residential market.
For buyers, my role is independent. My job is to evaluate the opportunity from your perspective, including both the advantages and potential drawbacks of an individual residence, rather than simply repeating project marketing.

The Rise vs. Existing Cupertino Condos and Townhomes
The eventual pricing of The Rise market-rate homes will not exist in a vacuum. Buyers will be comparing these residences with established Cupertino condominiums and townhomes, newer developments, single-family homes and housing options in neighboring Silicon Valley communities.
Some of the factors I expect buyers to compare include:
- Purchase price and price per square foot
- The premium for new construction
- HOA fees and included amenities
- Parking and EV charging
- Floor level, views and orientation
- Private outdoor space
- Walkability to shopping, restaurants and services
- Access to Apple Park and other Silicon Valley employers
- School attendance boundaries
- Future development around an individual residence
- Potential resale competition from later phases of The Rise

Where Is The Rise in Cupertino?
The Rise occupies the former Vallco Shopping Mall site near the intersection of Stevens Creek Boulevard and North Wolfe Road. The central Cupertino location is close to Apple Park, Interstate 280, shopping, restaurants and many of the city's established residential neighborhoods.
Town Square West is planned as more than a collection of residential buildings. The district is also expected to include approximately 200,000 square feet of shops, restaurants and neighborhood-serving uses, along with more than three acres of parks and open space.
That combination could create a substantially different ownership experience from a traditional stand-alone Cupertino condominium complex.
The Rise Cupertino Home Sales Updates
