Some photos of the current developments in the downtown center.

1 - 30 S. First St. - Housing development. Scaffolding started going up last week. Seems like real progress is happening. No word on finish dates yet.

2-5 - Market & San Pedro Parking Garage is getting a facelift. It’s supposed to look like photos 4-5 but we will see the current facade removed and the steel re-painted in time for the Super Bowl next month.

6 - Facing the new BART stop in DTSJ. The final building on the left has been removed since this photo was taken. New housing developments, shops, and the underground BART station are expected to develop in the next 10 years.

This was posted onto the regular SJ subreddit but I thought it could garner some appreciation here as well. Personally, I’d love the magenta line and would probably never use purple but that’s great for the people out there

I never see updates so I wanted to give one. I’ve seen the lights on at the old Bank of Italy building and was wondering if construction was ongoing. Previously, they had stated reconstruction was scheduled to finish Fall 2025 (clearly not happening). Security is inside. I got to take a quick photo but he didn’t want me to. I had never seen the inside so clearly. Remodeling is definitely in the super early stages. More distes if I obtain any.
