Google Village Real Estate

After purchasing several government and city-owned properties, Google has received approval to break ground for their 8.5-acre development in downtown San Jose. This transit-oriented development will not only provide Downtown with 1.04 million sqft of office space in two towers, but will also develop a residential tower with 300+ housing units, and 35,000sqft of retail space. Spanning from Lenzen Ave. to the north down to Auzerais Ave. and I-280 to the south, the development will include updates to the existing San Jose Diridon transit station. This construction will be a game changer for Downtown San Jose, with talks of Diridon Station to become the “Grand Central Station of the West.” The goal is to to create not just another high-rise office building, but instead to create a community space to revitalize Downtown, increasing housing while transforming the face of urban transportation. Google aims to add value by providing a mixed-use community offering– not just office spaces, but also residences, shopping and retail establishments, restaurants, and amenities.
