SAN JOSE — Several hundred homes could rise at the site of a shuttered casino and hofbrau in San Jose, a proposal that represents the latest attempt to craft a viable plan to redevelop the prime location.
The potential development site is the location of the now-closed Garden City Casino, a long-time gambling center; Harry’s Hofbrau, a popular restaurant; and other businesses.The structures on the property would be bulldozed to clear the way for the anticipated development. Full-fledged details of the proposed development weren’t publicly available. Developers often float preliminary proposals with municipal planners as a kind of trial balloon to gauge the city’s reaction to a project concept.A group operating as High Street Northern California Development submitted the proposal to city officials.
