"An unprecedented flurry of development proposals has descended upon Downtown San Jose" and they range across housing, office, hotel, and retail unlike our previous boom. [Josh: there are so many development proposals, they can't even fit on one map any more. Check out the maps from http://sjdowntown.com/developmentresources below]

There are currently 2,150 hotel rooms Downtown, 650 additional rooms have been proposed.

Retail has not been left out either, over 200,000 SQFT of new retail has been proposed for Downtown.
