Tenant Improvements in San Jose to come for Yard House, Santana Row
Posted by Jessie Woodyard on Tue, Jul 13, 2010 @ 09:54 AM
The Silicon Valley Business Journal reported on July 9th that Santana Row will have a new restaurant opening February of 2011. Yard House, a national brew house and restaurant, has over 25 locations scattered throughout the US and now San Jose.
From their website, it appears each of the locations has an architectural uniqueness. The entrances are grand; it seems there are spans at least 15 feet tall to each location. They seem to prefer high visibility, corner locations - exactly what they will experience at 300 Santana Row. A similar pattern as they occupy retail spaces in other exclusive locations such as LA Live in Los Angeles and Fashion Island in Newport Beach for example. 
Their new 10,000 square feet of space is positioned at the immediate entrance of Santana Row. They could not have picked a more exposed location for their first Northern California location.
Next will be the restaurant tenant improvements. With a timeline of 7 months until their advertised Grand Opening in February of next year, they have planned well. Extensive tenant improvements in San Jose such as what Yard House will most likely experience will take a considerable amount of time. We will have to wait and see as construction commences.
Tid Bits About Yard House:
Some interesting dishes on their menu include:
Chicken breast, applewood smoked bacon, wild mushrooms, cheddar and parmesan with campanelle pasta and white truffle oil
