The Dominican Sisters of Mission San Jose will soon be creating a Master Plan for their beautiful and sacred Motherhouse grounds. They are part of the world-wide Order of Preachers (aka the Dominicans) founded by St. Dominic in the 13th century. Though independent in their operations and civil structures, the Sisters belong to the same extended Dominican family and collaborate in their shared mission to preach the Gospel. While recent land use analysis for the 2.55-acre property appears to favor a sale of the property to a residential development as the most viable and “Highest and Best Use” (and thus why a conceptual residential site plan is included in the Offering Memorandum), a long-term ground lease might be considered if it meant that the Sisters would retain ownership of the property while supporting a mission-aligned use of the property (i.e. the Four Dominican Pillars of Prayer, Study, Community and Service.)
