Icon/Echo Mixed Use Project

The Icon/Echo Mixed Use Project is a site development initiative by the City of San Jose, California, located at 147 East Santa Clara Street. The project involves the construction of two eight-story mixed-use buildings on a 2.11-gross-acre site, featuring up to 665 multifamily residential units and approximately 1,320 square feet of commercial space. The development will be executed in two phases, beginning with the Echo building in Phase 1 and followed by the Icon building in Phase 2. Both buildings will maintain separate parking, ground-floor lobbies, and amenity spaces. The scope of work includes the demolition of existing on-site buildings totaling approximately 22,527 square feet and the removal of 29 trees. To facilitate the project, extended construction hours have been approved from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm, Monday through Saturday. The project is managed by Urban Catalyst and has been granted a statutory exemption from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and San Jose Municipal Code under Public Resource Code Section 21080.66, as it qualifies as a Housing Development Project consistent with general plan and zoning requirements.
