Coming Soon to San Mateo

Optimized & Energized

Rooted in the spirit of craftsmanship, our name pays homage to the arbelos — a tool of precision and elegance. Just like the artisan who shapes something lasting and meaningful, Arbello was purposefully designed for Bay Area residents who want a home that grounds them in the midst of it all.

Arbello is the foundation of your lifestyle — strong, balanced, and tailored to support your rhythm. From vibrant downtown San Mateo to Caltrain, SFO, and coastal escapes, everything is within reach. Whether you're stepping out or staying in, your apartment is both your sanctuary and launchpad.

Choose from studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom layouts, each offering comfort, smart-home ease, and design-forward finishes that match your energy. More than a place to live, Arbello is where your lifestyle thrives — energized, effortless, and always connected.

We look forward to welcoming you home.

Defining Arbello

The name Arbello was chosen to invite balance, innovation, creativity, and comfort into the lives and home of our residents. Inspired by the Greek word arbelos, a shoemaker’s knife, this tool for craftsmanship wielded cobblers the ability to create unique designs with their expertise. An arbelos is also known for its unique semi-circle structure which was adapted to our geometric patterns. This shape also takes life throughout the property as a homage to the intellect, skill, and balance of all its contexts.
