The most expensive condo sales on a square foot basis in Downtown San Jose just happened last month. One of The 88's penthouses clocking in at 1,488 SQFT was sold for $2.2 million dollars. This comes out to be $1,478 per square foot, something you would expect to see for condos in New York or San Francisco.
The price may seem steep, but this unit does come with one of the most amazing balconies in Downtown San Jose, if not the entire Bay Area. You practically have a back yard in the sky. This unit was previously sold in November 2012 for $1.16 million.
