And we’re stepping outside our normal boundaries of San Francisco (It’s kinda scary in San Jose…don’t you think “james”?) by posting about a project going up in our tech power house neighbor town to the south.
-Axis is downtown San Jose’s first luxury high-rise condominium development, opening in May 2008.
-Neighbor to historic Hotel De Anza at the apex of Almaden Boulevard
-Homes will be priced from $400,000 to over $2M.
-22-story, 228 ft. tall glass and granite high-rise designed by noted architects Ankrom Moisan.
-329 spacious homes with luxury services and amenities, including floor-to-ceiling windows that provide breathtaking views of Silicon Valley.
-V.I.P. Reception Friday November 9, from 5-7…we might be there, but unlikely, and they’re opening the sales gates Saturday morning, hangover or not.
-Presentation Center open daily beginning Saturday November 10th, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at 38 N. Almaden Blvd. in San Jose; call (408) 297-9888; or, visit online at www.axissanjose.com
What could all this high rise development possibly mean for the future of our real estate market? You’d have to think those developers are counting on a bit of a return on their investment, wouldn’t you? (And yes, we know they planned these projects a long time ago, but they’re still planning more.)
