While there is a huge amount of activity, development is happening slowly and they are running out of room. In Downtown, massive projects are going to break ground in 2013 and many retail spaces are going to finally get filled up in the Downtown core. If things go well, 2014 should be an even better year.<br /><br />Don't get me wrong, I like Santana Row, but it won't replace Downtown. It's a secondary urban area similar to Willow Glen or Japantown.

Why re-brand Santana Row as downtown. It's already doing fine as is. In fact, we need more for of these in other neighborhoods.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1923860625279115418.post-7720011000638103192012-11-06T09:55:23.418-08:002012-11-06T09:55:23.418-08:00Hopefully, they can designate Satana Row as the ne...Hopefully, they can designate Satana Row as the new real downtown San Jose since the real downtown is a lost cause. They can develop the area around SR and make it a complete downtown. That's the best hope for the city and easiest way to have a vibrant downtown.San Jose grownnoreply@blogger.com
