On October 9th, AVE Santa Clara, in partnership with Ensemble, officially opened the AVEnture Hub, a first-of-its-kind residential amenity designed to inspire residents to explore California’s abundant outdoor resources and embrace an active lifestyle. The ribbon-cutting ceremony brought together AVE, community partners, local dignitaries, and residents to celebrate.
A New Era of Living and Adventure
The AVEnture Hub represents AVE’s commitment to delivering innovative, lifestyle-driven amenities that enhance residents’ well-being and foster a genuine sense of community. This space provides residents with complimentary access to premium outdoor gear – from bikes and stand-up paddleboards to golf clubs, kayaks, and camping equipment.
Through the AVE Santa Clara Resident Services app, residents can easily reserve equipment, plan excursions, and connect with fellow outdoor enthusiasts.
“This is my second time living in an AVE community, and they continue to raise the bar on hospitality and amenities,” says resident Monique Stansell. “The new AVEnture hub is such a fun addition, offering everything from camping gear to sports equipment for a weekend out or a chill day at the park. The grand opening was just as thoughtful as the space itself, complete with great food, s’mores, and signature cocktails. AVE thinks of everything, and it is one of the many reasons I love calling it home.”
An Evening of Celebration and Connection
Guests arrived to live music, refreshments, and guided tours of AVE Santa Clara, which features 311 luxury apartment rentals, flexible-stay fully furnished apartments, resort-style amenities, and thoughtfully designed gathering spaces.
Ashley Cerasaro, SVP of Communications for AVE, welcomed the crowd, saying “California is known for its stunning natural beauty, from the Pacific coastline to majestic mountain ranges, and tonight, we're making it easier than ever for our residents to experience it all. In partnership with Ensemble, AVE is excited to reveal AVEnture Hub, a pioneering residential amenity designed to help our residents embrace the California lifestyle and facilitate connection within the community.”
Ashley also spoke about AVE’s dedication to the evolving Clara District, noting that “the launch of the AVEnture Hub is another great example of the innovative, curated happenings in the Clara District as it continues to grow into the dynamic neighborhood we have all long-envisioned.”
Following Ashley’s remarks, Harbir K. Bhatia, CEO of the Silicon Valley Central Chamber of Commerce, highlighted the importance of partnerships that drive community growth and economic vitality. Bhatia and members of the Chamber presented an official certificate recognizing AVE’s contribution to the region before joining AVE Santa Clara’s General Manager, CJ Bowen, for the ceremonial ribbon cutting.
A Hub for Wellness, AVEnture, and Belonging
Following the ribbon cutting, guests explored the new AVEnture Hub while enjoying lite bites and libations inspired by the great outdoors. Residents mingled, took photos, and began signing the ceremonial ribbon, a keepsake of the celebration.
“The AVENture Hub is a fantastic addition to our community! My kids and I are eagerly planning an outdoor event where we’ll enjoy the stand-up paddle boards. It’s just one more reason why our community is such an amazing place to live – bringing us all together with incredible amenities,” says Thomas, a resident at AVE Santa Clara.
After the ceremony, guests enjoyed refreshments and tours of AVE’s model apartments.
The launch of the AVEnture Hub marks an exciting chapter for AVE and the Santa Clara community. With its blend of innovation, hospitality, and community, AVE Santa Clara’s AVEnture Hub is redefining what it means to Live Better™ in Silicon Valley.
