SAN JOSE — A panel of state judges has backed the city of San Jose’s decision to clear the way for a “brutalist” building on a prime site to be bulldozed as part of the creation of a huge downtown tech campus.
The state Court of Appeal, in a 3-0 decision, affirmed a 2021 decision by a Santa Clara County Superior Court judge that determined the city acted properly in approving a tech campus on the site of Cityview Plaza, a downtown San Jose office and restaurant complex that was developed over a period from 1968 up until 1985.
