City Heights at Pelier Park
The City Heights at Pellier Park project is the first high rise condominium building to open its doors in downtown San Jose. Its diverse mix of luxury condos are appointed with smooth wall finishes, granite countertops, cherry wood cabinets, imported ceramic tile, upgraded appliances, nine- to 11-ft ceilings, generous bedrooms and closet spaces. The bathrooms have designer plumbing and light fixtures. Highly efficient floor plates were mitigated by subdividing the mass of the single building into three more vertical components. The open 2-level lobby has a direct connection to the existing Pellier City Park and provides an inviting elevation to the surrounding neighborhood.
A series of live-work lofts activate the streetscape. Four levels of private parking are provided on site, 3 above and 1 below grade. The distinctive top or “crown” of the building has added a distinctive landmark to San Jose’s downtown skyline. While the original plan was for a tipped roof that enclosed a mechanical penthouse level, the final design is capped with an outrigger trellis and blades to make it lighter and more dynamic. Light and shadows continuously play across the top of the building as the sun moves across the sky.
