New renderings of The Graduate in downtown San Jose, located next to San Jose State University. It doesn't have those inflatable air dancers anymore and they changed the color from yellow to orange.
Renderings from Amcal Housing

Was just about to talk about the new renders, thanks gillynova, Amcal seems optimistic, especially about breaking ground soon, and building out. It will be the first high-rise to break ground since Silvery towers if they beat #Diridon to the punch, which they might well do, I have seen no action from their end.

The project, reaching 202 feet in height, will provide 260 housing units containing a total of 1,039 beds and 14,800 square feet of ground floor commercial-retail along East San Carlos and South Third Streets. Although legislation prohibits placing restrictions on who can occupy the units, the residential component will target students attending nearby San Jose State University.
The “L-shaped” tower drops down dramatically to a parking structure containing the bulk of amenity space on a 24,380 square foot recreational deck fronting South Second Street. A pool, spa, two bocce courts and an outdoor seating area are featured on the deck. The parking structure underneath offers 265 spaces in one below grade and three above grade levels. In an attempt to encourage students to bike to class, 577 bicycle spaces are included in the plans in lieu of additional car spots. Other building amenities are on the second through fourth floors offering study rooms, a sauna, steam rooms, yoga studio, multipurpose room and fitness facility.

The project proposes to construct up to 260 student housing units and 17,190 square feet (s.f.) of ground-floor retail space within a 19-story tower. Parking for the project will be provided within a four-level parking garage accessed via a left-turn only driveway located along S. 2nd Street. The parking garage will include 265 parking spaces, 71 motorcycle parking spaces, and space for storage of 400 bicycles.

A bit of inconsistency on the number of bike spaces, but having only 265 spaces should keep traffic down, instead of giving one per student, granted they only need cars for going out to the suburbs or other cities from there, and with BART being around by then, shouldn't really be a necessity as long as they are willing to Uber/Lyft or take the 523 or 500 to and from. Since camera 12 shut down one has to go out to the suburbs to see the movies, so people may want a car for that. I wonder if students will find all the Zipcar options more doable.
