Orchard Park Coming to North San Jose
The New Home Co. is building a 239 home community in North San Jose called Orchard Park. The development will consist of a variety of townhomes, flats, and courts (homes surrounding courtyards) ranging from 1,600 to 2,150 SQFT. You can pretty much forget any new single family homes going up anywhere North of Downtown, all of the new housing is going to be much higher density from now on.
Orchard Park is a master planned community that will feature both a new 1-acre park and a 2-acre river path which will be an extension of the San Jose Coyote Creek Trail. There will also be a community center with a bocce ball court, community room, and dining areas. The project will be close to the new Berryessa BART Station and just two miles away from SJC.
They should have a sales office with model homes near the intersection of Old Oakland Road and East Brokaw Road up soon. Prices will start at $700,000 and I have a feeling they will go pretty quickly.

Couple of New One South Market Shots
Below are a couple of new wide angle One South Market shots courtesy of Jeff Arko. Most shots of One South are taken from Santa Clara Street, but these were taken just north of Santa Clara in the parking lot between Market and 1st. One South is really helping fill the skyline from this angle and still has at least six more floors to go before being topped off. I can't wait to see this building when it's done, especially at night when the LEDs are on. I added a couple of renders for reference on what this will end up looking like.

Throughout today and tomorrow they will have live mariachi and salsa music, Mayan and Folklorico dance performances, games, pinatas, DJs, dancing, and a huge selection of tequilas. Of course they will also feature Mexican street food like carnitas, carne asada, and barbacoa tacos. The festivities go from noon to 10pm both today and tomorrow.

Saturday Stats: San Jose Metro is the #1 Best Big City for Jobs!
San Jose just nailed the top stop in a study listing the best big cities for jobs in Forbes. Our metro area had 982,000 jobs in 2013, job growth was 4.3% last year, and job growth over the last 5 years was 8.1%.
All 398 metropolitan statistical areas were put through their paces in the survey, and the largest 66 metros were all competing with San Jose. Our neighbor San Francisco came in second (their 2013 job growth was 3.6%) and New York City came in 7th (2013 job growth was 2.2%).
This is a huge statistical win for San Jose. Sometimes you have to separate out the real numbers from all of the media hype going around for other regions.
