Progress on 200 Park Avenue. The protruded framed windows look great in person! The cutouts for the balconies do a great job at making the building feel a lot less bulky than it actually is with the large floor plates and low(ish) height.

^ Thanks for the update! It is shaping up to be a great addition to the SJ skyline, and I agree the cutouts/balconies/terraces help to add architectural interest and break up the bulkiness of the building.

Are you able to tell if the ceiling of each terrace utilizes warm toned panels like in the renderings? I think that was a really nice detail touch to contrast with the cool tones of the glass.

It was a bit hard to tell even in person. I think the ceiling of each terrace is corten steel, but it didn't look as bright as it does in the renderings. I was down in SJ after it had rained pretty heavily so the color might have been impacted by the moisture a bit.

The project in person looks pretty close to the renderings as a whole so I wouldn't be surprised if under better lighting conditions or over time it will look brighter. Agree that it's a nice contrast.

Affordable homes near downtown San Jose land key real estate financing
Project next to busy train station would add more than 100 apartments



By GEORGE AVALOS | gavalos@bayareanewsgroup.com | Bay Area News Group
PUBLISHED: January 6, 2023 at 9:35 a.m.

SAN JOSE — A proposed development of affordable homes at a busy train station next to downtown San Jose has landed a crucial chunk of financing through a state bond award.

The first phase of Tamien Station, a transit-oriented residential development, has been awarded $64 million from the California Debt Limit Allocation Committee, according to the project’s developers.

Two veteran real estate developers, The Core Cos. and Republic Urban Properties, have teamed up to develop multiple phases of a residential project that is slated to sprout at 1197 Lick Ave. next to the Tamien train station in San Jose. Tamien Station is served by Caltrain, light rail and buses.

The project would produce 135 affordable housing units, the developers said.

Along with the $64 million, the project has also landed financing to the tune of $28.7 million from the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities program, $25 million from Santa Clara County and $17.25 million from the city of San Jose.

“Tamien Station is truly a community-defining project,” said Vince Cantore, vice president of development with Core Cos. “We couldn’t be more grateful to our financial partners for helping the project advance to this critical point.”

The funding from the state government means the project now has all the financing it requires to launch construction, according to Cantore.

200 Park turned out great. Just like the renderings.

Looks like they moved the 200 Park Ave thread to the completed section for an unknown reason even though it's clearly still u/c, but here is the latest update:

Google San Jose village makes progress even as tech titan plans to ax office space
One building is completely removed as Google pushes ahead on new neighborhood



By GEORGE AVALOS | gavalos@bayareanewsgroup.com | Bay Area News Group
PUBLISHED: February 6, 2023 at 11:55 a.m. | UPDATED: February 6, 2023 at 3:22 p.m.

SAN JOSE — Google insists that its plans to slash office space will not derail the massive transit village the company is planning to build on the western edges of downtown San Jose.

The two endeavors, while both tied to Google’s real estate holdings, are fundamentally distinct from each other and have different goals and timelines, according to the tech titan. While cuts to office space are expected to hit in the Bay Area, Google still intends to break ground by the end of this year on the first phase of the transit village, according to a company spokesperson.

During a conference call to discuss fourth-quarter financial results for Alphabet and its principal operating unit Google, Chief Financial Officer Ruth Porat said the company intends to exit some currently leased spaces.

“Optimizing how and where we work” is one of the goals of the right-sizing of Google and Alphabet, Porat told Wall Street analysts and investors during the call on Feb. 2.

“In the first quarter of 2023, we expect to incur approximately $500 million of costs related to exiting leases to align our office space with our adjusted global headcount look,” Porat said. “This will be reflected in corporate costs. We will continue to optimize our real estate footprint.”

It was not immediately clear exactly which leases the company is seeking to end. But as part of the real estate downsizing, Google will primarily exit space that the tech giant has yet to occupy, a company spokesperson said. If the company hasn’t occupied the rented floors, those are candidates for an exit.

...

In recent days, Google completely demolished a building at 140 South Montgomery Street where a vendor of industrial gases had operated for decades.

Across the street, the demolition of the old Sunlite Bakery Bread Depot building at 145 South Montgomery Street is well underway. A Google contractor has completely removed the back half of the building.

Google aims to salvage the Art Moderne-style entrance of the old bakery building and deploy it permanently somewhere else in the transit village project.

The front half of the one-time bakery has been hollowed out on the inside with portions of walls and the roof already removed.

The shuttered Patty’s Inn, a long-time watering hole at 102 South Montgomery Street, is expected to be completely bulldozed.

The former Hellwig Iron Works building, constructed sometime around 1935 at 150 South Montgomery Street, is slated to be reused, although some additions could be made to the structure.

Redevelopment Approved At 550 East Brokaw Road In San Jose



BY: YIMBY TEAM 4:30 AM ON MARCH 3, 2023

Last time since SF YIMBY’s update, the redevelopment project has been approved for construction at 550 East Brokaw Road in North San Jose, Santa Clara County. The project proposal includes the development of seven buildings offering almost two million square feet of office space and a public park. The site former housed Fry’s Electronics, a national big-box store selling electronics that dramatically closed all locations in February of 2021. Demolition will be required for the existing structure and 274 cars.

Caracol Property Owner LLC is listed as the property owner. Bay West Development is responsible for the proposal, with architectural designs by Gensler.

The project site is a parcel spanning an area of 19.7 acres. The project will create seven office buildings and two parking structures spanning a total of 3.7 million square feet with 1.9 million square feet of offices and 1.6 million square feet for parking for 5,385 cars. Terraces spread across the project will total 84,750 square feet and additional bicycle parking for 410 bicycles. Each office building will rise eight floors to approximately 90-100 feet above street level. The structures will be asymmetrically aligned, cloistering around a landscaped pathway with shading and seating. The public space will be improved with landscaped pathways.

Adobe opens Founders Tower in fresh downtown San Jose expansion
New highrise bolster's tech titan's San Jose investments and commitments



By GEORGE AVALOS | gavalos@bayareanewsgroup.com | Bay Area News Group
PUBLISHED: March 8, 2023 at 6:00 a.m.

SAN JOSE — Adobe’s newly opened tower in downtown San Jose is more than a skyline landmark: The highrise symbolizes the tech titan’s push to bolster job growth and deepen its investments in the Bay Area’s largest city.

The 18-story highrise is the fourth office tower in Adobe’s headquarters campus in downtown San Jose and is perched next to State Route 87 at 333 West San Fernando Street.

The highrise is named Founders Tower after John Warnock and Charles “Chuck” Geschke, who in 1982 co-founded the company in the garage of Warnock’s Los Altos home, adjacent to the Adobe Creek.

“Our Founders Tower is an amazing fourth addition to our downtown San Jose headquarters campus,” said Gloria Chen, Adobe’s chief people officer and executive vice president of employee experience. “We are really excited about the building and the design.” The all-electric tower totals 1.25 million square feet, including the highrise and a parking garage. The office portion totals 700,000 square feet.

When people walk into the building lobby, they are greeted by Adobe’s museum on one side and a cafe on the other. The restaurant is slated to open after construction is complete on a bridge that will span West San Fernando Street and connect Founders Tower to the three office highrises on the other side of the road.

Founders Tower was crafted to accommodate big meetings with hundreds of participants, smaller gathering areas for teams, locations where just a few people could collaborate, or spots where people can work alone, either in enclosed booths or open seats.

“For Adobe, people have always been our greatest asset,” Chen said. “Our company is really about powering human creativity and powering human experiences. We have taken a real human-centered and experiential design approach to the whole building.”

They’ve taken the same approach with the museum that will immerse visitors in Adobe’s past, present and future technologies.

“The museum is on the ground floor so we can immediately engage the public,” said Eric Kline, Adobe’s global director of workplace experience. “You will see some of the original products and equipment. The museum is a combination of artifacts and storytelling.”

The new tower enables Adobe to double down on its downtown San Jose presence.

About 4,000 Adobe employees are expected to be able to work in the new tower — allowing Adobe to double its downtown workforce over time. Adobe eventually expects to employ about 7,000 people in downtown San Jose.

The largest distinct meeting area in the new tower is called Town Hall, an auditorium with seating to accommodate 500 to 600 people. The room can be left open for other workers to see as they pass by — or join in.

“That makes the meetings feel more organic,” Kline said.

...

Other major focal points in the tower are on the seventh floor, which features a cafe that totals 50,000 square feet — about the size of a medium-sized office building — as well as community spaces for employees. An array of cuisines from several parts of the globe are available, enabling the cafe to serve as a further gathering area.

“Food is the original form of social networking,” Kline said. “For as long as we know, people would frequently gather to share meals and enjoy food together. We know that food is very important in the process to get people together.”

The big cafe is “packed” during the lunch periods, an Adobe spokesperson said.

Adobe employees have already begun moving into the tower, whose 18 levels are opening gradually.

The new tower, in a further sign of the modern approach to the company’s work areas, was built with an eye toward wide-open spaces. The floors in the new tower average about 60,000 square feet. The three towers in the older part of the Adobe campus average about 25,000 square feet.

Adobe’s new highrise also features the work of a number of artists from the city, an additional sign of the company’s attempts to maintain — and strengthen — its already robust bonds with San Jose.

“We were among the first major tech companies to plant roots here in San Jose,” Chen said. “We are here for the long haul.”

That 200 park building is nice density but its a shame they tore down the brutalist court building that was there before.

SJSU vision may revamp downtown San Jose campus, add housing towers
Wide-ranging changes could dramatically transform university



By GEORGE AVALOS | gavalos@bayareanewsgroup.com | Bay Area News Group
PUBLISHED: March 27, 2023 at 5:30 a.m.

SAN JOSE — Housing towers, new dining spots and hundreds of residences for San Jose State University students are in the works as part of a wide-ranging plan to dramatically revamp the college’s downtown campus.

University officials are eyeing new development projects both on the campus and about a block from the college, according to plans on file with the school.

“San Jose State University is undertaking a renewed campus master plan to guide the physical development of the Main Campus, South Campus and Moss Landing Marine Laboratories,” said Michelle Smith-McDonald, senior media relations director with the university.

The campus master plan’s primary focus is to create plenty more places for students to live, according to university officials.

“The university is prioritizing the creation of housing for students, faculty and staff,” Smith-McDonald said.

Several towers would sprout on the existing campus and stretch along East San Fernando Street between South Fourth Street and South Tenth Street, a general site plan shows. The plan indicates the row of towers on San Fernando Street would rise adjacent to the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. library.

Overall, the university is either completing or actively planning four major projects as part of the college’s transformation and modernization:

- Campus Village 3, a big expansion of the existing student housing on campus, a project that would add at least 1,000 new student beds upon completion
- Alquist Redevelopment, a replacement of the Alquist state building that’s next to Paseo de San Antonio to create up to 1,000 residential units in a new tower about a block from the university.
- The Interdisciplinary Science Building, which will be the university’s newest academic facility. Totaling 164,000 square feet, the building will focus on faculty-led student research and will contain teaching labs, research labs and collaborative spaces. The science building is slated to open in the fall of this year.
- Spartan Athletics Center at CEFCU Stadium near the corner of South Seventh Street and East Alma Avenue. The modern sports complex totals 55,000 square feet and will accommodate the football, men’s soccer and women’s soccer teams. It will also provide state-of-the-art facilities for all 22 of the university’s sports teams. The center will open this summer.

Campus Village 3, whose principal component is new student housing, is poised to usher in the most visible physical changes on the campus.

“The next planned addition to SJSU’s campus housing brings more Spartans to the core of San Jose’s vibrant urban community,” a post on the college’s site states. The post adds, “1,007 new student beds, a welcome center and a 900-person capacity dining hall will replace Washburn Hall, Joe West Hall and the older dining commons.”

Campus Village 3 is also expected to add 517 affordable student beds to the university’s housing totals.

The first phase of this new housing village is slated to consist of a housing tower with 260 units. The second phase is expected to be a building with 171 units. A welcome center will be on the ground floor of phase one.

Construction of the first two phases is due to begin in the summer of 2024 and should be complete by the summer of 2027, according to a university post.
