Urban Catalyst Closes on Property and Submits Plans for Additional Sites

Over the course of one year Urban Catalyst has acquired and moved forward into the early development phases on 6 projects. The most recent being Paseo, making this the final purchase for 2019. Urban Catalyst is looking forward to announcing additional projects in our pipeline for 2020. Below are our three major announcements we made last week.

  1. PASEO

    Urban Catalyst closed on a property at 201 S. 2nd Street in downtown San Jose. Currently a vacant building, The Paseo property is slated to be transformed into a combination of 65,000 square feet—three floors—of office space over 20,000 square feet of ground floor retail. With planned positioning as tech office space and located adjacent to VTA Light Rail, this transit-friendly property is located next to the Fairmont Hotel, the Hammer Theater, the popular SoFA district, San Jose State University, and the Fairmont Plaza. In coordination with Urban Community, the project is expected to break ground in 2020.

  2. KEYSTONE HOTEL

Partnering with TMH hotels, Urban Catalyst plans to activate The Keystone property by building a select service, 170-room Marriott TownePlace Suites.

Future amenities include an outdoor courtyard and BBQ/recreation area at podium level, a rooftop deck, and 160 onsite parking stalls for guests. Construction is expected to start in Q3 2020.
