Long-closed San Jose movie house may be preserved and gain new purpose
"The decision to preserve the Burbank Theater's historic exterior and much of its interior reflects a commitment to blend modern services with cultural heritage."
"Conversion plans for the Burbank Theater suggest that the once-blighted site could transform through new medical offices, a community activity center, and revamped retail spaces."
The Burbank Theater in San Jose, which has been closed for six years, may be revived through a new proposal that would preserve its historic appearance. The site, purchased for $1.6 million by a Milpitas-based group, plans to include medical offices and community-centered spaces such as a cafeteria and retail. TJR Development's plans highlight renovation efforts to convert the iconic cinema into a vibrant location that balances medical services with cultural preservation, ensuring the venue maintains its historical significance while serving contemporary needs.
