Opportunity Zone Investments: Fund II
Fund II is a $200 million fund we launched in 2021. Fund II includes the Icon, Echo, Gifford Place and Keystone ground-up development projects, all located in Downtown San Jose, California. Icon is a roughly 500,000-square-foot office high-rise, while Echo is an adjacent, 388-unit apartment tower. Both are located along Santa Clara Street, San Jose’s main drag, and across the street from City Hall and a future Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) station. We broke ground on Keystone, our 176-key extended-stay Marriott TownePlace Suites, in January 2023. Gifford is a 169-unit senior living project about a block away from Keystone.

"I’m really optimistic about San Jose and I think San Jose is going to come back strong. Many tech companies are expanding there, including my company, Google."

“This investment is a very good opportunity to potentially capture some of the growth (of San Jose) and also help minimize the capital gains tax, so that’s a powerful combination."

David C.CEO and Real Estate Investor
“When I see what Google is trying to build, and what Urban Catalyst is doing on top of this, it really got me excited. I want to be part of that.”
