Andrew Jacobson, principal executive for Westbank's U.S. operations, expressed that they are excited about submitting their application for Arbor, a majority residential development in downtown San Jose. He mentioned the design collaboration with Studio Gang, highlighting the project's potential to create a vibrant community space at a key gateway to the city's urban core. Through this shift towards residential accommodation, Westbank aims to adapt to the ongoing changes in the market demand for housing.
The location for the proposed Arbor tower is strategic, positioned at one of the vital gateways to downtown San Jose. The project envisions an 18-story mixed-use tower that primarily focuses on residential spaces, potentially offering ground-floor retail options. Westbank's aim to include four levels of underground parking also suggests a comprehensive design that accommodates the urban lifestyle while addressing the need for housing in the area, which is becoming increasingly urgent amid changing market conditions.
