The new card club will be two stories, 67,836 SQFT, and the same number of card tables as the current location (49). The layout will be more spread out and they are planning to do a high-end restaurant as an added attraction. The hotel would be seven stories and 174 room, which is actually much smaller than the hotel is replacing. It is too bad they are not planning to go larger with the first phase, because we really could use the extra hotel rooms.
There is a second phase being planned with a 10 story hotel tower and 150 rooms. In an area that could easily accommodate a 30 story hotel building (which would draw extra attention to the cardroom), this scale is very disappointing to me.
The parking lot east of the card room could also be developed into a 250,000 SQFT office building with 12 stories, but that would be in a far later phase. Bay 101's new home should be ready for gaming by Fall 2017.

ReplyDeleteThanks, easy fix!
DeleteI agree a 10 story hotel? what is this Modesto, This is Silicon Valley, some of the most expensive real estate in Nation. These developers need to think about the future a little.
ReplyDeleteAlso all these 3-6 story developments on N. 1st street are also frustrating, shouldn't we be building something along the lines of the Oracle campus (Redwood shores) by now .

It's heart braking to hear that a 10 story and even worse a 7 story Hotel room will be built. We're in this High Tech hub and they come out with this plan. San Jose has no skyline! that area is starting to look like downtown San Jose dwarf buildings there all the same level in high. It ain't a skyline without having one Skyscraper that tops off the rest! I feel so jealous of other cities and even SMALLER cities have a dense, taller buildings. I know that there's a building height limit due to Mineta Airport but come on people! Replacing a 500 Hotel room over a hotel that will be built in 2 phases and does not even replace the last 500 rooms. Shame!
