Developer Jay Paul Co. filed plans with the city to convert four existing office buildings at the site of the planned CityView Plaza project into 320 homes.

In addition, a 293-foot residential high-rise is planned down the line as part of the project’s second phase.

The original plan, approved in 2020 , was to demolish the aging office buildings and redevelop them into a new three -tower office park.

A development fee used to fund San Jose ’s parks charged developers about $60,000 per unit.

“We can't build the level of housing we need if we try to solve every other societal problem through taxes placed on new housing — there is a trade off there. And I know nobody likes to make trade-offs, but we have to decide, do we want the building on the ground and the new housing, or not?.
