KT Properties Picks Up 1 S Market in Downtown San Jose

KT Properties has acquired the property locatd at 1 South Market St in Downtown San Jose from Haury Properties. Plans for the site include high-rise condominiums but could be changed to office if the demand materializes. KT and its partners are currently developing the AXIS residential condo project located at Santa Clara and N Almaden Boulevard.

Haury originally had been holding the site for office development but later changed those plans into residential as the office market cooled.

The city seems to prefer that the 1 S Market site go office but it doesn’t make any sense at current rents Downtonw. Legacy is in the process of building the second tower at RiverPark on W San Carlos, and the BEA building is up in the air now that Oracle is acquiring them. In addition, Boston Properties and Barry Swenson control land downtown at a lower cost basis which could go office.
