History

The station and the $2.3-billion extension broke ground in 2012, and completion had been expected in 2016.

The station occupies 27 acres (11 ha) and will be co-located with the Montague Light Rail station, near the North San Jose/Milpitas high-tech job hub and the Great Mall of the Bay Area. The station will have a six-story parking garage. The concourse will be at-grade, with two underground side platforms.

The Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) received a $900 million federal grant for the $2.3-billion Silicon Valley extension in 2012. Buses from Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) and AC Transit will serve the station.
