SAN JOSE — A developer can bulldoze a bank building as part of a demolition of a downtown San Jose block and replace the outmoded structures with a dramatic new office and commercial campus, a Santa Clara County judge has ruled. At the heart of the legal action, filed a year ago in September 2020, is a proposed development that would bulldoze the decades-old CityView Plaza in downtown San Jose and replace it with a modern tech campus that could bring 14,000 or more jobs to the city's urban core. The Preservation Action Council of San Jose raised concerns because the project's plans call for the demolition of an old building and filed a legal action to effectively block the development.
