The San Jose Planning Commission has approved plans for a 26-story residential skyscraper for 17-31 East Santa Clara Street in Downtown San Jose, Santa Clara County. However, the project is threatened because the VTA aims to seize part of the land through eminent domain for the future San Jose VTA/BART Station. The project team believes Eterna Tower can contain the new train station entrance. The VTA disagrees.
New renderings have been revealed for the two mixed-use towers and future office for Caltrain. The project will rise on the surface parking adjacent to San Jose’s Diridon Station. The public plaza and retail at the base would become a welcoming gateway for the future Google-led Downtown West masterplan. Perkins&Will is the project architect.
It has been nine months since the President of Boston Properties, Douglas Linde, announced his intention to resume construction at Platform 16 in San Jose, Santa Clara County. Work has indeed started this year, and a live camera linked on the firm’s website shows excavation work is underway for the north building at 375 Autumn Parkway. Devcon is the building’s general contractor.
Construction work is moving ahead for the five-story housing project at 427 Auzerais Avenue by Downtown San Jose. Crews have finished the foundation and concrete podium, with four floors remaining above. The project will offer affordable and permanent supportive residences developed by Eden Housing.
Crews have finished demolition at the 0.9-acre site ahead of construction at 470 West San Carlos Street. The property will soon be developed with a 167-unit assisted living facility in the Diridon Station Area Plan, by Google’s Downtown West masterplan in San Jose. Urban Catalyst is responsible for the project.
