New Owners Unveil Rebranded San Jose Condo Towers

Machine Investment Group and Centurion Real Estate Partners have unveiled the reimagined and rebranded 188 West Saint James, their two-tower residential development in downtown San Jose. After acquiring the property in mid-2025, 188 West Saint James’ new ownership group began investing in capital improvements and operations.

Located adjacent to San Pedro Square, the dual residential towers with 640 residences now present a new opportunity to own a move-in-ready home in one of the city’s best-located condominium buildings, according to ownership. Staged releases of the remaining residences will be marketed for sale by Polaris Pacific.

“188 West Saint James redefines modern urban living in Silicon Valley by offering a premier residential and retail experience,” said John Tashjian of Centurion. “Our significant investment will deliver a luxury lifestyle for homeowners in the heart of San Jose’s most dynamic neighborhood. We are proud to reintroduce 188 West Saint James to the market and begin an exciting new chapter for this iconic property.”
