Nearly 700 students are calling Spartan Village on the Paseo (SVP) home this fall, less than a year after the announcement of a unique student housing concept that positions San Jos茅 State as a national model for urban residential living.

What was once the south tower of the Signia by Hilton San Jos茅 hotel complex has been converted into 679 beds of student housing, as well as a dining commons, a fitness center, an e-sports/gaming space, study lounges, and a skybridge providing views of the Paseo de San Antonio and the Plaza de Cesar Chavez. The agreement for 91传媒厂 to lease the building from Throckmorton Partners was finalized in November 2023 and students moved into the building in August 2024.

鈥淭he work required to open Spartan Village on the Paseo for our students was herculean and I want to express my deep gratitude to the leaders, staff and workers who worked around the clock to make it possible, and to the elected officials who paved the path for us to open this building on time,鈥� said 91传媒厂 President Cynthia Teniente-Matson. 鈥淲e are offering our students a state-of-the-art residential experience, filling a critical need for affordable housing and injecting downtown San Jos茅 with vibrancy and energy. Every Spartan should be incredibly proud of this moment.鈥�

SVP is the Bay Area鈥檚 largest post-pandemic conversion of a downtown commercial property to residential housing. In its first year, residency was at full capacity, with students excited by the chance to to live in 91传媒厂-owned housing in downtown San Jos茅 and still be close to campus.
