Tried & True - AMSI’s Unprecedented Housing Model

Holistic & Innovative Community Enterprise

Leading Founders of Corporate & Furnished Housing Practices


The Genesis


For over half a century AMSI has been a key cornerstone and leader in the Corporate Housing Industry creating programs and platforms that have been vital contributions to the current constructs of accommodations for business travelers.

 

Long before corporate housing became a billion-dollar industry or Airbnb and Vrbo were common household names, travelers were very limited in their options for accommodations while on extended stays. Before these innovations hotels were really the only option and while this may be fine for a few days or even weeks, for one who is traveling for 30+ days it could be quite difficult to find a place that truly felt comfortable assimilating a home away from home. 

 

Anticipating the demand to make interim length occupancy travel more comfortable, AMSI’s Co-founder Zoya Smithton and the company set out to fulfill this need and were integral members in coining the term Corporate Housing, becoming key contributors to the inception and expansion of the business models and practices that we see today.

The Foundations

 

Aligned to Offset Low Occupancy Rates & Bring Revenue to Our Local Economy


Our tried and true policy at AMSI is entirely community-focused and works because it is built on trust, confidentiality, consistency, and integrity. The importance of our practice is unparalleled and the mission of our service is to be mutually beneficial for all parties involved. 

 

We realize the necessity of high occupancy rates in our city and strive to help place the many incoming travelers in situations where they can embrace the San Francisco experience while also bringing money to local communities and businesses. No one benefits from a vacant unit and in the wake of Covid-19 the necessity for this type of service is essential, as it helps drive revenue to local businesses while simultaneously creating more housing opportunities for full-time SF residents. By cultivating meaningful partnerships, we are a conduit to help private owners achieve the flexibility to rent their property to travelers on a monthly basis while they are away.


Having been in business for just over a half-century many different people come to AMSI for their interim housing needs and we aspire to discover situations that balance the desired timelines for our owners and our reservation clientele. Keenly aware of the need for trusted housing solutions, along with our interim length occupancy programs we specialize in long-term leasing, property management, and real estate sales and are a trusted resource for any housing needs in each of these departments.


With our extensive experience, we have seen it all and know the sensitive nature of renting people's private residences, thus we operate on an individual case basis and create a flexible game plan that is catered to each unique owner and their property. While good business may be when two parties both walk away happy, great business is when the culmination of our efforts has a positive and rippling effect on our society as a whole. We are glad to be a part of the solution on a multi-faceted level and are eager to be of service for anyone who may be interested in renting their home through our program.

*Rendering © Bjarke Ingels Group* Updated plans have been released for 35 South Second Street in Downtown San Jose, a mixed-use development designed by Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) . The project, referred to as the Fountain Alley development , is scheduled for review by the San Jose Planning Director and reflects a shift from an earlier office-and-housing proposal to a predominantly residential program. Project Overview The revised plans call for two residential towers, rising 27 and 28 stories , with a total of 768 apartments and ground-floor retail. The development is part of a broader downtown San Jose master plan led by Westbank and Urban Community , which includes multiple residential and mixed-use sites throughout the city. The project will span approximately 831,600 square feet , including residential units, ground-floor retail, and basement parking. Bicycle parking is planned for 417 spaces, with vehicular parking located in a multi-level subterranean garage. Change in Use Earlier versions of the project included a stronger emphasis on office space. The updated proposal reflects a reconfiguration toward residential use, consistent with other recent revisions within the larger Westbank and Urban Community portfolio in downtown San Jose. A related site at 180 Park Avenue began demolition and excavation in 2022, though work was paused due to an archaeological discovery. Recent reporting indicates that plans for that site have also been revised to focus on residential units rather than office development. Design and Site Details BIG is serving as the project architect, with Bionic as the landscape architect. Renderings show residential towers with balconies, integrated landscaping, and a pedestrian-oriented plaza connecting South Second Street with surrounding streets. Exterior materials are expected to include aluminum, terracotta-toned glass-fiber-reinforced concrete, and curtainwall glass. The development site occupies approximately 1.25 acres along South Second Street, between Santa Clara Street and San Fernando Street, near the Bank of Italy Tower. Housing Mix and Affordability The project is proposed to include: 177 studios 413 one-bedroom units 152 two-bedroom units 26 three-bedroom units Approximately 5% of the units will be deed-restricted for very low-income households, utilizing California’s State Density Bonus law . Next Steps The project is scheduled for review at a Planning Director Hearing on Wednesday, December 17 , to be held virtually via Zoom with opportunities for public comment.
