SAN JOSE — A transit agency has scuttled plans to seize a prime site near a future BART station in downtown San Jose where a housing highrise is being eyed — but the delays and uncertainty may torpedo the tower proposal.
The Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority filed a lawsuit in 2022 against the owner of a downtown San Jose site with addresses of 17 through 31 East Santa Clara Street, seeking to take ownership of the property through eminent domain.
