Urban Catalyst founder and CEO Erik Hayden said: “Building high-density development near transit is Urban Planning 101.
“This project is located on Santa Clara Street, the main drag of the central business district. Once completed, this community could be home to more than 500 residents and over 2,000 employees.”
Urban Catalyst has also concluded the conforming rezone process for the project to align with the city’s general plan.
The initial Tentative Map approval has also been received for the project land.
After purchasing two of the four parcels for the development, Urban Catalyst is under contract to purchase the remaining two.
Urban Catalyst partner and chief operating officer Josh Burroughs said: “The Icon/Echo development will complete the key intersection of 4th and Santa Clara Street while breathing new life to Saint James Park for a truly balanced work/life environment.”
