SAN JOSE — A project to convert a historic tower in downtown San Jose from offices to housing is starting to take shape — a proposal that could bring a rooftop restaurant to the iconic highrise, city documents show.

The Bank of Italy tower at 12 South First Street in downtown San Jose is headed towards a wide-ranging conversion to transform offices into residential units on the vast majority of the 13-story building’s floors, according to a proposal on file with city officials.
