Renders from Google’s huge San Jose campus show how it feels like a neighborhood

Google is planning to build a huge new “Downtown West” campus in San Jose, and the company has shared rendering to give an idea of ​​what the space will look like (via CNBC). Google wants to make the approximately 79 ac acre area feel like a traditional corporate campus by creating a mixed-use development with 79 fee space, housing, parks, retail space and more.

A render is the image we’ve included at the top of this post, representing something Google calls a “gateway.” The proposed space will feature pop-up events as well as an amphitheater plaza that can be used by both Google and the wider community.

Below is a rendering for a peaceful-looking area called Creekside and Walk, a walkway near the VTA Light Rail Corridor that will be “inspired and framed by Los Gatos Creek.” Looks like it could be great to go through:

And “meinder” is something Google refers to as an “urban outing”, an area that will be closed to cars and will not be able to host events, screenings and other performances.

All that said, there will still be plenty of space reserved for office fee buildings. While for items such as retail stores, rest restaurants, rents and cultural centers, residential00 residential “residential units” and, 000,000,000 total square feet, there will be office according to Google’s g3-page slide design design standards and guidelines. The office will be a million square feet of office fee space. Deck about the proposed campus.

You can get a good idea of ​​what the whole camp mumps might look like on this map, taken from Google’s nearly 39-minute YouTube video about the plan:

There are also more details about the project on Google and San Jose city websites. San Jose City Council is considering a proposal for Google’s final approval in the spring of 2021.

This is not the only ambitious campus that Google has in mind. The company announced a billion 1 billion investment to build a New York City campus in Hudson Square in 2018 and proposed a 40-acre mixed-use area in Mountain View in September.
