Permits have been filed seeking the approval of a mixed-use project at 19 North 2nd Street in downtown San Jose. The project proposal includes the development of a residential tower with commercial space and senior housing. Plans call for the demolition of the interior of a 15,000 square-foot historic building while retaining and integrating the street-facing two-story facade and parapet.
Roygbiv Real Estate Development is the project developer. Anderson Architects is responsible for the design concepts and construction.

The project site is a parcel spanning an area of 9,375 square feet. The project will bring residential units to a 22-story high residential tower. Commercial space measuring an area of 18,643 square feet will be designed on the first and second floors. The building facade will rise to a height of 240 feet. The tower will feature 220 100% affordable apartments for seniors through floors three to 22. A provision to park vehicles on the site has not been announced yet. The closest parking garage is a city-owned space located on 3rd Street, going through the gap between the two SV towers.

Is this even a serious design? the gazebo might blow off.
The drawing looks like it came from a drafter in a basement in some far off country.
Aww, I thought it was a nice integration of the historic part with the new part–better than most. The gazebo seems oddly placed, but could work fine, depending on the implementation. The rendering is low-budget, but so what.
the design is low budget, the gazebo ridiculously placed. The reality is that the architect isn’t skilled enough to produce a worthy design. That’s what.
I wallked there today. Bunch of scaffolding and torn tarps blowing around. Saw some gent walking from the building to his on-site parked RV behind the gate. Serious eyesore with zero progress.
