Almost two years after tech giant Google spent millions buying up land in Downtown San Jose for a massive building project, the South Bay city center remains covered in empty lots.
Jay Meduri still hasn't re-opened his popular Poor House Bistro restaurant more than a year after he relocated it to San Jose's Little Italy neighborhood because it stood in the way of Google's development.
Only the sign out front remains at the restaurant's old location. The lot sits behind cyclone fencing-vacant-just like the acres of other properties Google bought in the city's core."We're seeing commercial slowdown in this market. With interest rates being where they are and companies taking a pause in hiring and even layoffs at some companies. It just doesn't make a lot of sense to build new commercial right now and we've been through this many times," Mahan said.
To Google, it's a 10-to-30-year project. But the company has not yet determined when the next phase will begin.
