San Jose City Council is poised to give final approval to construct the 80-acre Downtown West urban development by Google. The proposal would reshape a significant portion of the Diridon Station Area Plan in Downtown San Jose by replacing surface parking and low-density blocks around the SAP Center with a higher density of housing, offices, and retail. The meeting will be held today, starting at 6 PM.
A proposal study session is upcoming for reviewing a project at 4700, San Pablo, Emeryville. The project proposal enlists the demolition of commercial industrial buildings and the construction of a new mixed-use structure. A & W Industries is the property owner. Brick is managing the design concept and construction.
New building permits have been filed for the 14-story mixed-use development at 1101-1123 Sutter Street in Polk Gulch, San Francisco. The permits call for 201 new units to be built, which would provide the most housing of four options considered by the Historic Preservation Commission in early February. The Martin Building Company is responsible for the development through 1101 Sutter Affordable LP.
Site grading permits have been submitted for a new development at 100 Lafayette Circle in Contra Costa County. The project proposal includes the construction of a two-story mixed-use development. The project will replace a building that was destroyed by a fire in 2017. Studio FCF is managing the design concept and construction.
New renderings have been shared for The Energy Hub at 35 South 2nd Street, a proposed mixed-use tower designed by the internationally renowned Bjarke Ingels Group. The new illustrations show more intimate perspectives of the terracotta louver-wrapped tower, with shaded balconies and a brick plaza going right up to the transparent curtain walls. 35 South 2nd Street is part of a five-project masterplan by Westbank with Gary Dillabough of Urban Community to invest in Downtown San Jose sustainability, urbanization, and expansion.
