SAN JOSE — BXP is selling a 24-acre site in north San Jose and confirmed Thursday that it scrapped a recent push to pursue housing for seven acres of the property.

“The property is currently on the market for sale on an as-is basis,” a BXP representative stated in an email sent to this news organization.

The north San Jose site is bounded by North First Street, Daggett Drive, Zanker Road and East Plumeria Drive, according to Santa Clara County property records. It is currently occupied primarily by older buildings and empty building pads.

In 2016, BXP — formerly Boston Properties — envisioned a new office campus on the site that would have totaled 1.1 million square feet. Apple at the time was rumored to be a likely tenant. That anticipated outcome didn’t come to fruition.

In August, BXP floated a proposal to develop several hundred homes on the site.

“BXP has paused the residential entitlement effort due to the sale,” a BXP representative stated.

The real estate firm owns two other development sites in San Jose.

BXP is attempting to sell a downtown site where an office campus was once planned at 447 South Almaden Blvd., across the street from the city’s Convention Center.

However, BXP is not attempting to sell the development site for a proposed downtown tech campus known as Platform 16. If built, it would become an eye-catching office campus on the banks of the Guadalupe River at the corner of Autumn Parkway and West Julian Street.

BXP had launched development of the site just before pandemic-related business shutdowns began in 2020, including halts to construction work.

The company later resumed construction but halted development a second time due to weak demand from tech companies for office space. BXP said it has mothballed Platform 16 for now.
