The state Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) is playing a role in the conversion of one of the few remaining vacant parcels at San Jose’s iconic Santana Row into an eight-story o ce building and ve-story parking structure.

Excavation and grading work is under way at the former temporary parking lot at Ha on Street and Olsen Drive. The work, which involves removing soil containing low levels of pesticides, is expected to nish in May 2017. The soil will either be disposed of at a permi ed o -site facility or will be placed under the concrete oor slab of the subsurface parking garage.

It will be the newest addition to Santana Row’s 1.7 million square feet of stores, o ces, homes, restaurants and hotel. Santana Row is renowned for the caliber of its shops, which include a Tesla showroom, and luxury housing. The development generates millions annually in sales tax revenue, and has paid more than $40 million in property taxes since its inception.
