San Jose's future tallest high-rises broke ground!

MIRO is San Jose's latest luxury housing project. It was originally proposed as a combination of offices and housing across the street from our iconic City Hall with one tower dedicated to offices and another dedicated to residential. The current plan focuses primarily on residential with only 20,000 SQFT of retail and commercial space (the entire project is 1,000,000 SQFT).

Each tower is 28 stories and 298 feet tall, so you are looking at the future #1 and #2 tallest buildings in San Jose. For reference, the San Jose City Hall is 285 feet tall and The 88 (our current tallest building) is 286 feet tall.

The project has a total of 600 units split among one, two, and three bedroom layouts. 16 of those will be extra-fancy penthouses. As far as amenities go, this might be the most impressive residential project in the Bay Area. 50,000 SQFT of indoor and outdoor amenity space is reserved for residents. That includes the standard fitness centers, loungers, pet facilities, and concierge. However, MIRO takes it to the next level with a rooftop pool (!) and rooftop lounges that will provide a spectacular view of Silicon Valley. There is also a spa in the building.

MIRO should be completed in 2020. It is way too early for pricing, but expect these units to set new records for San Jose condos.

  1. San Jose is the largest American city with no buildings above 300 feet. El Paso, Texas is our level.

    Why couldn't they have extended these buildings another 2 feet so we're not the laughing stock of the world.

  2. Easy Answer! FAA! San Jose has a height restriction due to the flight path to SJC.

  3. What kind of CORRUPT BS did our mayor and his cronies do now to get this built

  4. Technically, they should concentrate putting taller high rises outside of the Downtown area, so that they won't have the Height restrictions, due to the fact that the Airport is within 3 miles of the downtown area The city can literally build high rises over a 1,000 ft. in that big farm area just. South of Branham Lane and West of Snell Avenue. It's almost 1 square mile of farm land, right in the city, and it's over 9 miles away from San Jose International Airport.

    1. Absolutely, that would be nice assuming they could improve mass transit to that area. I think North San Jose is ripe for taller development and there are some sections without airport height restrictions.
