Housing highrise and data hub may replace San Jose office tower plan
Briefly

Westbank proposes a housing development named Park Habitat, featuring 391 housing units and a data center at 180 Park Ave, San Jose. This shift from an office tower to housing aims to enhance the downtown nighttime population and will contribute to the city's tax revenue. The project's strategic location next to cultural hubs emphasizes a vision of urban intermixing, with the data center integrating energy-efficient systems to benefit both residences and operations. Enhanced connectivity to amenities and transit is also a priority.
The pivot to housing makes sense. The housing will help with the nighttime population downtown, and the data center will add to the tax base.
Park Habitat aligns perfectly with that strategy. We're building on the idea that great cities don't have business districts or residential districts, rather they are all intermixed.
