SAN JOSE — Downtown San Jose now has a high-level city official who will be solely dedicated to efforts to bolster the city’s urban core, an appointment that fulfills a primary goal of the city’s mayor.
Municipal officials hope the newly created post would help the downtown achieve this lofty version as the principal gathering place for Silicon Valley. “Nathan Donato-Weinstein will help realize downtown San Jose’s potential as the premier entertainment and cultural destination of Silicon Valley,” Mayor Mahan said.
The onset of the coronavirus three years ago prompted state and local government officials to orchestrate wide-ranging business shutdowns to combat the spread of the deadly bug. Vacancy rates for first-class office buildings in downtown San Jose averaged 20.4% during the first quarter of this year, according to a new report by CBRE, a commercial real estate firm.
