SAN JOSE — A China-based real estate firm has neglected to follow through on the preservation and revamp of a century-old downtown San Jose church, leaving city officials increasingly frustrated by the developer’s inaction.

The project arose from a proposal by Chinese development firm Z&L Properties — whose principal executive has been arrested in London amid a San Francisco bribery and corruption case — to restore and rescue the old church and then build two housing towers next to the historic San Jose building.
