I was in San Jose last weekend and checked out a few new highrises going up.
This one is called
Centerra. It's a 21-story apartment building with 347 units:
While its tower feels too wide for its height, I like it at street level:
This is
One South Market, a 23-story apartment building with 312 units:
Trying to show some of the streetscape:
I think this is a new courthouse as
referenced in this article, although I count 9 or 10 stories while the story says 8. Couldn't find a rendering of what it's supposed to look like but you can see some of its street-level skin in the second shot:
And this quote from that article doesn't give a promising description of its future appearance:
Quote:
The new eight-story concrete and glass courthouse won't be particularly striking from the outside when it opens in 2016, but it's expected to be light and airy inside, with tall ceilings, lots of windows, a grand staircase and places for children to play.
