Last Saturday, I was able to take a hard hat tour to the top floors of the new Axis development in downtown San Jose. The views from the penthouse levels were spectacular, as advertised by Axis. Although it was a bit overcast that day, I still had great views of the East Foothills, City Hall, HP Pavilion, and the Los Gatos Mountains. I’m sure that on a clear day, the views would have been that much better. You also get views of San Jose Airport and Highway 87 if you want to check on traffic.

It’s too bad the San Jose Grand Prix is no longer around. Upper floor units facing the south side of the complex would have had a fantastic view of the cars racing up and down Almaden into the hairpin turn. I’m sure the view of the fireworks on the 4th of July will be incredible from the upper floors.

I have included a few photos on the Axis page so feel free to check out the views from up top. If you’ve ever wondered what the views from the penthouses look like, then you definitely have to see these pics.
