San Jose permits — week of 2026-05-18

A single permit is doing the heavy lifting this week: Duke Realty's $35M tenant improvement at 5853 Rue Ferrari accounts for more than half of San Jose's entire $60.4M in declared value, signaling a major industrial or logistics fit-out in the North San Jose tech corridor. Strip that one deal out and the week looks much quieter, with re-roofing jobs unexpectedly crowding the top of the valuation list. Volume held essentially flat at 577 permits, with single-family and condo activity continuing to drive the bulk of filings.
