“This is the last parcel that we need for the mixed-use project we’re planning,” said Erik Hayden, president of Urban Catalyst, which was formed to create funds that can capitalize on tax advantages provided by opportunity zones in places such as Oakland and downtown San Jose.

Acting through an affiliate, Urban Catalyst bought a narrow lot on First Street just south of East Santa Clara Street and the Bank of Italy office tower, according to documents filed with Santa Clara County officials on Nov. 15.

UC Fountain Alley, the affiliate, paid $2.1 million for the parcel, the county documents show.

Swenson, a stalwart real estate development firm, was the seller. UC Fountain Alley also obtained $4.8 million in financing from Presidio Mortgage Holdings to bankroll the purchase, according to property records.

Urban Catalyst now owns three parcels that are adjacent to each other with addresses of 26, 30, and 36 S. First St.
