Urban Community provides space for SoFA Pocket Park

SAN JOSE, Calif. - Jan. 20, 2021 - PRLog -- Real estate developer Urban Community LLC recently donated commercial space for the new, SoFA Pocket Park, located at 540 South 1^st Street in downtown San Jose. Presented by the San Jose Downtown Association, the park will feature a dog park, Demonstration Garden, and an inviting space for the greater community. The park is expected to open later this month.

The dog park, maintained by downtown's Property Based Improvement District (PBID), will feature artificial turf, a double-entry gate, plants in planters, outdoor furniture, and basic dog amenities. While the Demonstration Garden, operated and maintained by Veggielution, will feature raised planter beds, garden storage, farmstand, seating, and movable furniture. The farmstand will sell fresh fruit and vegetables and occasionally offer pop-up food facility events through their food truck and food carts.

"Providing a space for this pocket park is in line with our mission to bring people together to activate downtown San Jose in new and positive ways." said Urban Community principal, Jeff Arrillaga.

Urban Community has spent $225 million on properties in downtown San Jose, from St. James Park all the way to the SoFA District. Its highest profile acquisition, the historic Bank of Italy building, is in the middle of a full-scale renovation.
