A joint community and environmental public scoping meeting has been scheduled for tomorrow to review the plans for the Icon-Echo Towers, a mixed-use proposal for Downtown San Jose. The development, by Urban Catalyst, is expected to create two towers connected by a four-story podium, adding over half a million square feet of commercial space and over four hundred new apartments.
A previously approved high-rise building from 2019 at 2190 Shattuck Avenue in downtown Berkeley is undergoing design revisions. The approved project proposal includes the development of an 18-story apartment tower on a site that currently houses a Walgreens store. Mill Creek Residential is the project developer. WRNS Studio is the architect and is responsible for the design concepts.
The San Jose planning department is scheduled to review the draft supplemental environmental impact report for Orchard Workspace in Downtown San Jose at 6 PM today. Orchard Workspace consists of two proposed office towers as high as 301 feet above street level with new retail at 300 South 1st Street and 345 South 2nd Street. The major revelation ahead of the meeting is that a new sky bridge is considered to connect the two office buildings on levels ten and eleven. The project is one of several prospective San Jose projects with Gary Dillabough and Westbank as the joint developers.
Development permits have been filed to construct a mixed-use development spanning 2.1 acres at 147 East Santa Clara Street in the expanding urban core of Downtown San Jose. The application expects to build 415 residential units, 525,000 square feet of office space, and ground-level retail. Urban Catalyst is responsible for the proposal.
Several new renderings have been revealed with a detailed look at the block-sized mixed-use development proposed by Urban Catalyst for 147 East Santa Clara Street in Downtown San Jose. The project would add new offices, housing, and retail in the burgeoning area around city hall as San Jose’s sustained growth establishes a more urban core for the capital of Silicon Valley. The proposal is part of the Urban Catalyst Opportunity Zone Fund II, launched earlier this year.
