Based on their 3 towers at Adobe HQ they will likely build a tower as tall as those. I wish there were a better way to deal with the parking situation though. Like adding to the existing garage behind the lot.

Your guess is as good as mine, but from the Adobe exec in the article:

Donna Morris, executive vice president of customer and employee experience at Adobe, said in the blog post. “We’re moving forward on the planning and building process as quickly as we can.”

Here's more from the SVBJ on this story:

Cita:
Francom said Adobe is currently leasing a space across the street from its Park Avenue headquarters on Almaden Boulevard in the Heritage Bank of Commerce building, which it will use to house the growth of employees until its new building is complete. Adobe has been using the Heritage building to temporarily house employees while the company conducted a remodel of its headquarters.
This is a strong indication that Adobe will be fast tracking this building!

Looks like the metal framing is up to the 10th floor. And they are finishing the 16th floor now.

Wasn't this building very contentious, supposedly the county has sunk a ton of money into this and it has been repeatedly delayed? What were the issues with getting it built out?

I believe it had to do with disagreements with Turner Construction over construction changes, rising costs, and Turner's prioritization of Levi Stadium over this project.

SAN JOSE — Adobe Systems, just days after it revealed plans for a huge expansion in downtown San Jose, confirmed Wednesday that it’s signed a lease for additional offices in the city’s urban core.

The tech giant has leased 65,000 square feet in an office tower at 10 S. Almaden Blvd., said Erik Hallgrimson, an executive managing director with Cushman & Wakefield, which worked with another commercial realty brokerage, Colliers International, to arrange the lease. The tower is about two blocks from Adobe’s existing headquarters and near a site the company has agreed to buy for its major expansion.

“This space will be used to accommodate employees while on-going work-space renovations take place at our headquarters and for any growth leading up to the opening of the new tower,” Adobe said Wednesday through a representative.

Earlier this month, Adobe revealed it would dramatically broaden its downtown San Jose headquarters through the purchase of a property at 333 W. San Fernando St., a short distance from its main offices.

About 3,000 Adobe workers could be employed in a proposed office tower at the West San Fernando expansion site, which is just north of Adobe’s headquarters at 345 Park Ave.

For the most recent lease transaction of 65,000 square feet, Adobe signed a five-year rental agreement, Hallgrimson said. The company expects to move into the new offices in early November.

Adobe’s expansion quest in downtown San Jose comes amid disclosures that Mountain View-based Google and its development partner, realty firm Trammell Crow, have embarked on an ambitious effort to create a transit village near the Diridon transit station and the SAP entertainment complex.

An estimated 15,000 to 20,000 Google employees could work downtown in the Google village.

“Downtown San Jose has finally gotten the momentum it deserves,” said Bob Staedler, a principal executive with Silicon Valley Synergy, a development and planning consultancy.


As dramatic as the Adobe and Google expansions are for downtown San Jose, they aren’t they only recent events that point toward a major upswing in activity in the city’s urban core. Other tech firms are establishing new or wider beachheads downtown.

Seattle-based Amazon’s Lab 126 unit has rented one to two floors at the Towers @ 2nd office complex near the corner of North Second and East Santa Clara streets. Cohesity is renting 40,000 square feet at 300 Park Ave. near Woz Way.

SJM-ADOBE-0720-WEB2A million-square-foot tech campus is being proposed by realty developers TMG Partners and Valley Oak Partners, which want to replace an old industrial district on the banks of the Guadalupe River with new offices.

And Trammell Crow is pushing ahead with its plans to develop a big office, retail and housing complex next to the future Google village.

In recent weeks, investors also paid $80.2 million for an office tower at 303 Almaden and $64 million for the Westin San Jose hotel, formerly called the Sainte Claire Hotel.

Wasn't it supposed to start in Summer '17? Either way, 610 units in that area would be a game changer. Build it now!

Yeah it was but I usually take those news with a grain of salt.

I love the SJSC towers a lot because it will make San Jose's skyline a lot nicer, especially in the eastern side of downtown. Look like this and The Graduate will be San Jose's new high rises after Silvery Towers

nice facade IMO. I wonder if the silver panelling will stay or if it is just a moisture coating layer.
