SAN JOSE — Google’s proposed transit-oriented neighborhood in downtown San Jose might reach an overall value of $19 billion, a lofty figure that underscores the project’s dramatic impact.
Among the components of the approximate estimate of the value: development, construction, infrastructure and other potential costs and expenses associated with the Google village, which is called Downtown West. The only rival in terms of size for Downtown West is a huge tech campus that Cisco Systems developed decades ago in north San Jose.
Google’s village is poised to shift how people think of office buildings and how such employment hubs are woven into the fabric of urban centers, opined Scott Knies, executive director of the San Jose Downtown Association.
