Extended-Stay Marriott San Jose’s Downtown West — Photo by Marriott

Urban Catalyst, Silicon Valley's premier Opportunity Zone Fund, announced today that the San Jose City Council gave the go-ahead Tuesday to build an extended-stay Marriott in San Jose's Downtown West, just a short walk from Google's planned mega-campus. The council's blessing gives Urban Catalyst the green light to move forward with its Keystone project.

The nationally branded extended-stay Marriott TownePlace Suites business hotel will be located at 491 W. San Carlos Street. In addition to its proximity to the Google development, the location is near two recently announced towers—with 1.1 million square feet of office space—Caltrain plans to build near the Diridon Station.

The eight-story Marriott hotel is among six ground-up projects in Urban Catalyst's Fund I, which closed Dec. 30 with $131 million in investments. Urban Catalyst is now accepting investments for its Fund II, which will be used to build office and multifamily projects in the heart of downtown San Jose.

The hotel will be 185,000 square feet and offer 175 suites, on-site parking and other standard amenities. The average stay for guests will be one to two weeks.

Designed by BDE Architecture in coordination with local architect Studio Current, the hotel is expected to be completed in 2023.
