SAN JOSE — Wide-ranging work is underway to convert a well-known San Jose office tower into housing, a project that could enable rentals of the future residences to begin sometime in 2025.

The project aims to remake the Bank of Italy historic office tower downtown into a residential high-rise with at least 100 apartments. If completed, the transformation would be one of the first successful office-to-housing conversions in the Bay Area. In the wake of the coronavirus pandemic and facing a sluggish commercial real estate market, a number of developers have proposed such conversions, but most are still in the planning phase.
