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

Westbank is proposing the Park Habitat development, which consists of 391 housing units and a data center at 180 Park Ave in downtown San Jose. The project aims to enhance the nighttime population and contribute to the tax base. It will integrate with existing urban infrastructure and transit services, while also planning energy-sharing strategies to provide electricity for the housing units. The Housing initiative supports the concept of mixed-use neighborhoods that combine residential and business spaces efficiently.
The data center will be configured to capture excess heat from around-the-clock computing operations and use the energy to provide electricity for the adjacent residences.
Park Habitat aligns perfectly with our strategy that the best placement for housing is in central urban locations that are walkable and offer proximity to amenities, transit and workplaces.

The pivot to housing is beneficial as it will help with the nighttime population downtown and the data center will add to the tax base.
