OPPORTUNITY ZONE FUND II, LLC

Fund II is a $200 million fund we launched in 2021. Fund II includes the Icon, Echo, Gifford Place and Keystone ground-up development projects, all located in Downtown San Jose, California. Icon is a roughly 500,000-square-foot office high-rise, while Echo is an adjacent, 388-unit apartment tower. Both are located along Santa Clara Street, San Jose’s main drag, and across the street from City Hall and a future Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) station. We broke ground on Keystone, our 176-key extended-stay Marriott TownePlace Suites, in January 2023. Gifford is a 169-unit senior living project about a block away from Keystone.
