San Jose building permits — week of May 11, 2026

A $32 million transit-oriented construction permit from Santa Clara VTA dominates this week's filings and accounts for nearly 70% of San Jose's total declared value — a rare single-permit event that signals serious infrastructure momentum around the Berryessa BART corridor. Beyond that outlier, the residential pipeline remains robust with 570 permits filed, up 8% week-over-week, led by 339 single-family pulls. Analog Devices and Apple both quietly dropped tenant improvement permits, suggesting Silicon Valley office buildouts haven't gone completely dark.
