Urban Catalyst has purchased the final parcel needed for the Icon/Echo master plan in Downtown San Jose. The sale comes just over a month after the developer revealed plans to change the office component to housing, increasing the potential housing capacity from a few hundred to over one thousand units. New renderings shared by Urban Catalyst provide a preliminary glimpse at the design.
Two new preliminary applications have been filed to construct housing on the former Fry’s Electronics box store site at 550 East Brokaw Road in North San Jose, Santa Clara County. The applications show a shift in focus from the developers, who, as early as January this year, went to the Planning Commission to review their plan for nearly two million square feet of office space.
The Builder’s Remedy has been applied again to construct more suburban development in Santa Clara County, this time at 6591 Woodcliff Court, San Jose. The application is the second directly linked to Michael LaBarbera of Terracommercial Real Estate and is similar to a 320-unit application for 1515 Half Road in Morgan Hill. The three plans will reshape several acres along the county’s urban edges with more single-family housing.
A new affordable housing project has been proposed for development at 797 South Almaden Avenue in Downtown San Jose. The project proposal includes the construction of a six-story building offering affordable housing. RCD Housing is the project developer. Leddy Maytum Stacy Architects is responsible for the designs.
The public review period has started for the environmental impact report of Julian & Tripp, a multi-building residential development by San Jose’s future Little Portugal BART Station. The proposal spans three phases with 913 units, of which over four hundred are affordable. Roygbiv Real Estate Development is the project sponsor.
