City To Review 25-Story Proposal In Downtown San Jose



BY: ANDREW NELSON 5:30 AM ON FEBRUARY 13, 2024

The San Jose Planning Commission is scheduled to vote on a resolution tomorrow for a 25-story residential proposal at 439 South 4th Street in Downtown San Jose, Santa Clara County. The project will bring over two hundred homes, including student-focused amenities. Nelly Ames is the property owner.

SCDC is the project architect. Renderings show that the design has stayed the same, but illustrations now show 475 South 4th Street, the nearby 23-story proposal by Urban Catalyst. The rooftop deck will include a small fenced-off pool, lounge seating, tables, and an outdoor kitchen.

...

Demolition will be required for 31 existing units. The half-acre parcel is located along 4th Street between East San Salvador Street and East William Street. On the opposite side of the block, Urban Community and Nabr had pursued plans for a three-tower apartment complex designed by BIG and RMW Architecture.

17-Story Tower Proposed For 826 North Winchester Boulevard, San Jose



BY: ANDREW NELSON 5:30 AM ON FEBRUARY 28, 2024

New plans have been revealed for a 17-story residential tower at 826 North Winchester Boulevard in San Jose, Santa Clara County. Renderings revealed by the Bay Area News Group show two towers rising from the same podium and connected with a curving skybridge. San Jose-based VCI Company is responsible for the proposal.

...

Renderings show the steel-frame towers wrapped with curtain-wall glass above an L-shaped podium deck. The two-story base will include roughly 25,000 square feet for retail. While the skybridge with a warren truss pattern is the most notable feature of the tower, portions of the curtainwall will be carved out with columns of inset private balconies. The project architect is not listed.

The 0.6-acre property is in the Cory neighborhood at the corner of North Winchester Boulevard and West Hedding Street. Future residents will be just two blocks from the Westfield Valley Fair and four blocks from Santana Row, two of South Bay’s most prominent shopping malls.

Pre-Construction Financing Secured For Icon/Echo, Downtown San Jose



BY: ANDREW NELSON 5:30 AM ON MARCH 26, 2024

Urban Catalyst has received a $10.5 million loan to finance the pre-construction phase of Icon/Echo, a two-tower proposal at 147 East Santa Clara Street directly across from City Hall in Downtown San Jose. The plans will bring hundreds of homes across two acres, with construction now expected to start in one to two years. Gantry is responsible for providing the finance.

According to a press release from the firm, Gantry’s loan was given to “recapitalize the land site and pre-construction costs for the Icon/Echo.” The financing will help push the project to start construction by 2025 or 2026, including demolishing three properties and surface parking and constructing two new towers. Urban Catalyst purchased the final parcel in the 2.1-acre property last year from Sequoia Living for $3.3 million.

The press release also describes that the plan features a 21-story office tower and a 27-story residential building, consistent with Urban Catalyst’s entitled project plans. However, late last year, the developer revealed plans to re-entitle ICON from offices to housing. The new plans have the potential to reshape the site with around six hundred homes. Renderings were published in November, showing the glass-clad design by BDE Architecture.

Anyone heard anything about Park Habitat? That's one of Bay Area projects I'm looking forward to the most.

The Ohlone Tribe burial effectively killed off this project by holding off this project until financing dried up: basically put the project at chokehold.
