San Jose City Council approves Sobrato Organization office tower for downtown by Matthew Niksa Silicon Valley Business Journal Apr 14, 2021

The San Jose City Council on Tuesday night gave unanimous approval to an 18-story office tower that the Sobrato Organization wants to bring to a key corner in downtown San Jose.

The project, called Market Street Towers, would rise at the southern edge of Plaza de Cesar Chavez next to the historic Hotel Montgomery and across the street from the Westin San Jose.

But don't expect construction to begin immediately at the site, which is now a parking lot. The Mountain View-based Sobrato Organization, one of the region's most prominent developers, does not plan to start construction until it has a tenant on board.

BY: ANDREW NELSON 5:30 AM ON APRIL 25, 2021



Renderings have been shared along with a new planning document for a residential building at 375 South Baywood Avenue by Santana Row, San Jose. The Mitigated Negative Declaration document shows three low-density residences replaced by an 11-story condominium building as part of the Santana Row/Valley Fair Urban Village. The project developer is Cord Associates.

...

The structure will rise 120 feet above street level to create 79 apartments and 9,820 square feet of commercial space across the ground and second level of the building. Unit sizes will vary, with 34 one-bedroom units, 41 two-bedroom units, and four three-bedroom units. The residential lobby will be found along Hemlock Avenue, while commercial access will be created along with Hemlock, Baywood, and Redwood Avenue.

New Renderings For 600 South 1st Street, Downtown San Jose

BY: ANDREW NELSON 5:30 AM ON APRIL 28, 2021



New renderings have been released ahead of today’s hearing with the San Jose Planning Director for Garden Gate Tower at 600 South 1st Street in Downtown San Jose. The proposed high-rise will have 23 floors, adding 336 residential units to the San Jose housing market above four commercial retail spaces. The London-based project owner, Scape, is behind an addendum request for a shorter project with more units. Scape specializes in the design of student dormitories.

Google’s 80-acre megacampus will take over a chunk of San Jose

Google does not yet know the cost of the 10- to 30-year construction project

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021...-neighborhood/

Google has gotten approval to build a "multi-billion dollar megacampus" in San Jose, California, just 10 miles away from the other giant campus the company is building in Mountain View. CNBC reports that city officials approved Google's "Downtown West" project on Tuesday night.


Santa Clara was overruled by the city council's unanimous vote. Concern about building heights is pretty much the cause of all the housing problems in Silicon Valley. As the world's biggest tech hub, the area could support giant skyscrapers, but local politics prevent them from being built. San Jose is the most populous city in the US with no buildings of 300 feet (91 m) or higher. The city's tallest building, "The 88," only has 23 floors.

what prevents them from being built in downtown San Jose are FAA requirements, since the incoming flight path to the airport passes overhead

San Jose City Council will vote on plans to rezone the site of the city's flea market and transform the area around the Berryessa BART station

The San Jose City Council is slated to vote Tuesday night on a controversial proposal that could radically reshape the area around the Berryessa BART station.

The City Council is considering whether to rezone the site of the 1960s-era San Jose Flea Market to allow for a significant increase in new development. It will also consider a plan to transform about 270 acres in and around the flea market site into an urban village.

...
The rezoning for the flea market is going up for a vote on Tuesday night. The plan is to zone up to 3.4M sqft of office, and 3400 residential units on about 60 acres of land directly adjacent to the new Berryessa BART station. The plan currently faces heavy opposition from the current flea market vendors, so I don't think it is likely to pass, but we will see after the vote.

I think this kind of development is what Silicon Valley needs, rather than the large new office parks in Sunnyvale and Santa Clara that are miles away from any transit, a development adjacent to BART will allow people to take BART (or the 500 bus) directly to the office and be just a short walk from the office once you get there. With the last mile problem being a huge issue right now the current thinking of just building apartments close to BART is unlikely to address the issue. Of course once BART goes to downtown and Diridon a lot more office space could be dedicated there, demand side though still a question besides the large Google interest on the latter. So while the area may get zoned for office, it will remain to be seen if any tech company would actually want to be in that part of North San Jose.

Not a terribly impressive project by SSP standards but a nice project for SJ regardless that is within a 10 min walk of Diridon. I believe this also would mark the first substantial tower (for SJ) west of 87.

Permits Filed for 565 Lorraine Avenue, Downtown San Jose
By: Palak Japlot 5:30 am on June 28, 2021

Updated site development permits have been filed for a residential tower at 565 Lorraine Avenue in Downtown San Jose. The project proposal includes the construction of a residential building and the demolition of a vacant single-story structure.

...

The proposed development, Montgomery Plaza 1, will feature 126 residential units. Updated plans reveal that the tower will have 21 residential levels. Retail space for a restaurant/cafe on the ground floor is also planned. The high-rise will feature a rooftop deck spanning an area of 4,100 square feet. Other on-site amenities on the roof include a large terrace, a fitness center, a barbecue space, and seating areas. Up to 83% of the 126 residences are expected to be affordable.

The building facade will rise to 213 feet, and the rooftop will have great views of the Valley, the hills, and the city.

Google is planning a transit-oriented neighborhood of offices, homes, hotel rooms, shops, and restaurants across the street.

...

The apartments will be ten minutes from the San Jose Diridon Station by foot and serviced by Amtrack, Caltrain, and VTA.

The San Jose City Council on Tuesday gave the owner of the city's main flea market an emphatic green light to move forward with plans to significantly reshape the land underlying the longtime swap meet.

The City Council voted 11-0 Tuesday afternoon to approve a plan to rezone the 61.5-acre property next to the new Berryessa/North San Jose BART station on which sits the flea market's stalls and parking lot.

...

The unanimous vote gives the Bumb family, the site's owner, the right to develop up to 2,450 residential units and as much as 3.4 million square feet of office space there. Within that new development would be a five-acre space for the market's existing vendors, which is less than one-third the current size of the San Jose Flea Market. The vote also approved a plan to transform about 270 acres in and around the market into an urban village.

...
Looks like the city approved the development

Planning Commission To Approve Apartments At 308 Sango Court, Milpitas


BY: PALAK JAPLOT 5:00 AM ON JULY 9, 2021

Milpitas Planning Commission has approved a residential project at 308 Sango Court, Milpitas. The project proposal includes the development of a residential complex near BART. Plans call for the demolition of a two-story industrial building. City Council will consider the project for approval in August.

Idaho-based firm Pacific West Communities is the project developer.

The project site is a parcel spanning an area of 1.11 acres. The new residential development will bring eighty-four below-market-rate apartments. The developer will set aside fifty-one apartments for households earning between 40%-60% of the area’s median income. Thirty-three units will be reserved for households earning between 80%-120% of the area’s median income. One manager unit will also be available on the site. Private courtyards will be designed for the residents. The construction will be prefabricated: units will be constructed off-site and hoisted into place.

Despite concerns over state-required bonuses and incentives, City Council will consider the project for approval in August. The most pressing concern for many of the commissioners appeared to be the reduction in parking spaces. Instead of 140 total parking spaces required by the city for an 85-unit building, the developer will include 48 parking spaces in the garage.

The property site is located in a vibrant transit-oriented community with a mix of housing, retail, and recreation. The complex will be near BART and other transit options.

Concrete Rising To Street Level For 200 Park Avenue, Downtown San Jose

BY: ANDREW NELSON 5:30 AM ON JULY 12, 2021

Construction is reaching a milestone for 200 Park Avenue, a major office tower rising in Downtown San Jose. Concrete has reached street level, with steel soon to rise toward the 300-foot pinnacle. Once complete, the project will add 840,000 square feet of rentable office space to the Silicon Valley market. The prolific Jay Paul Company is responsible for the development.

...



Gensler is the project architect. The glassy building with silvery metal columns will provide a reflective contrast to its immediate neighbors, as well as the expected biophilic proposal for 180 Park Avenue, Park Habitat. Terraces are carved out from the mass, providing direct outdoor access for each of the fourteen office floors. This offers more outdoor space for employees and brings in greater sunlight exposure to the interior. Twenty-six thousand square feet of outdoor terraces are spread across the structure, providing open-air decks on each floor. Employees will also gain access to an on-site fitness center. The project is expected to earn a LEED Gold certification for energy efficiency.

Swenson submits early-stage plan for 25-story apartment tower in downtown San Jose

Swenson is requesting feedback from San Jose's planning department on a 25-story tower project with 339 apartments that would restore and preserve the site of the city's oldest bar, the fire-destroyed Cinebar.

The San Jose-based developer plans to demolish a pair of adjacent existing buildings, at 90 and 98 S. 2nd St., as well as the burned portion of what's colloquially known as the Lawrence Hotel building, at 71-89 E. San Fernando St.

..
The building housing Cinebar, Chachos, Social Lady was in a 4 alarm fire in January IIRC. The building needs to be gutted, but it is a historic building, hence the facade treatment.

Parking here will be 239 spaces, which is 100 less than zoning requires. But there are ways for allowing only half as many spaces as official requirements if the builder adopts Transportation demand management, no mention about that on the article, but it will probably be required here.

^ Nice project.

Illustrations show the 25-story structure would rise from the five-story covered podium, with twenty floors of curtain-wall wrapped residential levels. Seven open-air terraces would be built into the westerly facade, and a tree-lined rooftop terrace would offer panoramic views across Silicon Valley.

1 million square feet: Caltrain plans office towers next to downtown San Jose transit hub


SAN JOSE — Caltrain’s governing board is eyeing the development of office towers that could sprout at the entrance to the Diridon train station in downtown San Jose and next to Google’s proposed transit village.

The Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board, which governs Caltrain, is planning the development of two office towers and a big plaza that could help link the train station with the transit-oriented neighborhood called Downtown West that Google is planning.


...
Caltrain is trying to get entitlements to build offices on their current parking lots in Diridon, right outside the train station and a block from the future BART station, before the neighborhood cap is hit.

The article does not say anything about whether the Sharks will sue them because they are getting rid of the existing parking lot, and some made up calculations they always use that basically developing anything in the neighborhood requires parking therefore taking away from their parking. Despite the obviously dubious logic there that anyone would pay $25 to park there during a Shark's game, when they could take BART or VTA or Caltrain to work.

Initial Court Decision Favors Demolition Of Brutalist Bank For CityView Plaza In Downtown San Jose



BY: ANDREW NELSON 5:30 AM ON SEPTEMBER 14, 2021

A Santa Clara County Superior Court judge has ruled in favor of plans to demolish the brutalist bank structure at 199 Park Avenue in Downtown San Jose. While the verdict is not final, it is a significant step toward the construction of CityView Plaza, a 3.8-million square foot office proposal by the Jay Paul Company to revitalize the city block. If built, the development would reshape the block between Almaden Boulevard and South Market Street, central to the city’s urban core.







The full proposal of CityView Plaza will create six interconnected office towers, each rising 19 floors high. Several skywalk bridges with double-height corridors will connect each building, providing an opportunity for two acres of open terraces. At ground level, retail spaces will activate the site for pedestrians and office employees alike. Along with the 3.8 million square feet of offices, 1.6 million square feet of parking will be produced across a five-floor underground garage.
