SAN JOSE — A developer can bulldoze a bank building as part of a demolition of a downtown San Jose block and replace the outmoded structures with a dramatic new office and commercial campus, a Santa Clara County judge has ruled.

At the heart of the legal action, filed a year ago in September 2020, is a proposed development that would bulldoze the decades-old CityView Plaza in downtown San Jose and replace it with a modern tech campus that could bring 14,000 or more jobs to the city’s urban core.
