Iconic office tower with rooftop gardens proposed for downtown San Jose near Fairmont
SAN JOSE — An iconic office tower to be crowned with rooftop gardens would rise in downtown San Jose, a striking project that bids to dramatically reshape the skyline of the Bay Area’s largest city and could attract a big tech company, according to a new proposal on file with city planners.
The 17-story office tower is designed to give the appearance of four separate towers and up to 2,900 people could work in the office portion of the complex, being planned on the site of a surface parking lot near the Fairmont Hotel, the proposal from veteran developer Sobrato Organization shows.

The Sobrato Organization has submitted plans to redevelop a prime downtown San Jose parking lot with a massive 600,160-square-foot tower topped with new “sky gardens.”
The proposal, submitted Thursday, comes about eight years after the Sobrato Organization purchased the property, known as Block 8, a 1.5-acre parking lot at the northeast corner of South Market and West San Carlos streets from the now defunct San Jose Redevelopment Agency.
City documents show the glass-encased development, called Market Street Towers, is slated to rise 17 stories high.
Though the project will technically be a single structure, the building appears to branch off into four separate towers, or quadrants, on the upper levels. Two of the quadrants in the tower will be topped with rooftop gardens at about the 14th and 15th floors that span approximately 10,400 square feet and 12,700 square feet respectively. The remaining parts of the tower will stand at 17 stories.
