SAN JOSE — A plan to convert a downtown San Jose office tower from offices to housing is officially underway with a formal permit application for the project, which could produce 100-plus homes.
Westbank filed the formal permit application on March 20 with the San Jose Planning Department, city public documents show.The highrise, built nearly a century ago in 1925, is located at 12 South First Street next to East Santa Clara Street.
