The Downtown West Mixed-Use Plan enlivens an underutilized Downtown area for San José’s growth — envisioning a connected hub of activity that builds on San José’s cultural and ecological roots and draws from the City’s diverse identity and innovative spirit.
The Diridon Station Area Plan (DSAP) plan established a long-term goal to create a mixed-use urban destination encompassing approximately 240 acres in Downtown, anchored by an expanding intermodal transit station — slated to become the largest multi-modal transit hub on the west coast.
Google, as project sponsor, is working with the City, public agencies, and local community to help bring this vision to life. Downtown West spans approximately 79 acres within the DSAP planning area. The transit-oriented development — comprising largely office, residential, and active uses intermixed with one another — creates an integrated urban setting. Downtown West’s open space consists of approximately 15 acres of parks, plazas, green spaces, mid-block passages, riparian setbacks, and trails. Additionally, Downtown West includes improvements to the public realm that optimize connections to nearby regional transit services, enhance local walkability, and improve cycling linkages to adjacent neighborhoods and regional trails.
