Housing Recession?
Well, perhaps. Though it’s not apparent here, in downtown San Jose, California. These are the three high-rise condos currently under construction, all about a 10-15 minute walk from where I sit.
And City Heights was recently completed and units are for sale. Don’t know how well that’s going, but it’s clear the building is becoming occupied. As for location, The 88 is prime, being as it is right on the corner of 2nd and San Fernando. You’ve got a couple of dozen good places to eat, shop, and entertain within no more than five minutes walk in several directions. For coolness factor, it’s got to go to Axis. That is one cool looking building.
