SAN JOSE — A new Element hotel is much closer to reality in north San Jose’s bustling Coleman Highline, a huge mixed-use office park.

The property where the Element hotel would rise near the corner of Coleman Avenue and Champions Drive has been bought by the project’s developer, which has also landed a construction loan to build the new hotel, according to Santa Clara County public documents.

“Element Hotels has redefined the longer-stay experience with an outdoor-inspired design philosophy that is clean, modern and bright,” according to the Element website.

Santa Ana-based Nexus Development, acting through an affiliate, San Jose Hotel Investments, has bought a 1.9-acre site in north San Jose, county records filed on Nov. 22 show.

Nexus paid $9.8 million for the development site, according to the property documents.

The parcel is south of San Jose International Airport and west of Avaya Stadium, home of the Earthquakes soccer club.

The developer also obtained a $45.1 million construction loan from Pacific Western Bank to build the hotel, which is expected to have up to 170 rooms.

The Coleman Highline hotel appears to be the first foray into the Bay Area for Nexus Development.

The Nexus website shows that the developer’s portfolio consists primarily of hotels, office buildings, retail malls, business parks, tech buildings, and residences in Southern California. The internet site doesn’t list any Bay Area projects.

The new Element hotel would mark the most recent addition to Coleman Highline, a huge mixed-use complex of office buildings, hotels, retail, and restaurants that Hunter Properties is developing on a stretch of land that fronts on Coleman Avenue.

Coleman Highline has emerged as one of the Bay Area’s most successful business parks. Two big tech companies, Roku and Verizon Media, have signed leases to establish major employment hubs at the office complex.

Roku, a maker of media players and devices to stream video content, has leased 730,000 square feet of offices through a series of rental transactions. The company is moving its headquarters from Los Gatos to San Jose as a result. Potentially, Roku could employ 3,600 to 3,700 workers at Coleman Highline.

Verizon Media, hoping to create its Silicon Valley campus of the future, has leased 640,000 square feet at Coleman Highline. Verizon anticipates it will employ 3,400 at the complex. The employees would relocate from Sunnyvale and other parts of San Jose.

“This campus helps us build our DNA,” Guru Gowrappan, chief executive officer of Verizon Media, said in an interview with this news organization in October. “We are in growth mode.”
