Developer Urban Catalyst has received funding to finance the pre-construction phase of the multi-building Icon/Echo development, which is located at Rockridge Geotechnical’s 147 East Santa Clara Street site in San Jose. The Icon/Echo complex was initially going to consist of a 21-story office tower and 27-story residential tower, but the office tower will likely be re-entitled for residential use. Updated plans now show that Urban Catalyst hopes to create about 600 units of housing within the complex.
