Arquitectonica

 

Based in Cupertino, the Sobrato family has owned property within the Downtown San Jose district since approximately 2010. Their patient attitudes toward building the perfect highrise will finally pay off as they are set to build a 23-story, 399-unit tower on Block 3. The Arquitectonica will be an L-shaped tower with a uniquely designed elevation plan that will extend to five podium levels. The builders hope to utilize the podium levels to bring in more retail and restaurants for the residents and eventually appeal to the public. The skin around the tower, what Silicon Valley Business Journal calls the “most striking element,” includes vibrant precast panels that are to be placed all around the building to look as if they are hovering above the glass. In addition, large balconies and amenity decks will also be featured. This tower will be located on 150 S. 2nd Street (Block 3) in Downtown San Jose.
