Fourth and St. John streets: ECI2 North Third, LLC, the owner of the St. James Plaza building at 152 N. Third St., proposes to build a structure equal in height to City Hall. Though mostly parking lot space currently, two houses on St. John Street would need to be razed and some rezoning is required before the 26-story, 285-foot building of 400 units (or 900 beds) can be approved. The designated downtown core zoning would need to be expanded a half block to include the development site.
The owner wants the building to add to the student housing supply at San Jose State University, said Erik Schoennauer, a planning consultant on the project. The project would include 8,400 square feet of retail space on the ground floor. ECI acquired the development parcel, along with the 152 N. Third St. building, in the same 2013 transaction.

The Graduate by AMCAL Swenson: 19-stories, 260 units (1,039 beds) for student housing, plus 14,700 square feet of retail space at Second and San Carlos streets. Ground-breaking scheduled for Oct. 4.

If we look at the development map on this site, the number of proposed projects is pretty big, my guess is many of these won't happen unless Google moves in by Diridon.

But it is nice to see 3 ground breakings, even though that is mostly a ceremonial move, I'm confident that The Graduate will start construction soon.
