This mixed-use development anchors a prominent downtown corner, activating a key pedestrian corridor while framing views of San Jose’s historic St. James Park and City Hall. Organized as two towers over a retail-lined podium, the project integrates residential, office, and commercial uses. The podium conceals a seven-story parking structure, while retail spaces welcome both the live-work community and passersby.
The towers feature modern interiors, expansive balconies, and floor-to-ceiling windows that enhance daylight, ventilation, and access to outdoor space. A transparent amenity floor connects indoor and outdoor living, energizing the streetscape and offering residents flexible spaces for work and relaxation.
