Opportunity Zone Fund II

Now Open for Investment

OPPORTUNITY ZONE FUND IN THE HEART OF DOWNTOWN SAN JOSE

Urban Catalyst is proud to offer a dynamic portfolio of properties as part of our Fund II offering.
Accredited investors with a capital gains event are looking to diversify their investments into centrally located real estate. They’re looking for tax advantages now, and appreciation and distributions down the road.
 
On the heels of a successful $135 million Fund I, our current Fund II represents a diverse real estate portfolio, with great momentum in a growing tech hub.

Next to our Echo multi-family project, we have our Icon project.

Icon is a 500,000 square feet project consisting of office space, open areas, and retail stores, centrally located on Santa Clara Street, the main drag of the central business district. 

Highlights:

  • 511,025 square feet

  • Perfect for tech professionals, bringing together residential and occupational needs

  • Redefining what Class A office space is in downtown San Jose, with forty thousand square foot floor plates, 14-foot floor heights, floor-to-ceiling windows, adequate parking, and beautiful design

  • Significant indoor/outdoor amenity spaces including rooftop decks and gardens, exterior staircases, and balconies to take advantage of San Jose’s 300 days a year of sunshine.

  • Land secured, permits and plans approved, and ground-up development is underway.

Senior Living
GIFFORD PLACE


 

From planning ground-up development to breaking ground, we’re proud of the progress we’ve made on our Gifford Place project.

Gifford Place is a 169-unit senior living project, the first in downtown San Jose in decades. Senior living is a massive need to address the coming wave of seniors retiring and looking for assisted living, and downtown San Jose is an urban environment with a great need for senior housing.

Highlights:

  • Delivering the critical need for assisted living and memory care in the urban center of San Jose, with amazing access to Downtown San Jose's amenities and activities. 

  • The first senior living project in downtown in decades, Gifford Place addresses the coming “gray wave” in Silicon Valley, the hottest senior living market in the country. 

  • Located near the affluent neighborhoods of Willow Glen, Rosegarden, and Naglee Park.

Project Status: 

  • Groundbreaking completed
