SAN JOSE-The developers of San Jose's Santana Row residential and retail complex have set a new grand opening date for the mixed-use development that was devastated by fire earlier this month.

Retailers in seven of Santana Row's buildings plan to be open for business on Nov. 7. They include Crate and Barrel, which is already open and running, according to Federal Realty Investment Trust, the complex developers.

Santana Row was originally slated to open on Sept. 19, one month to the day after the 11-alarm fire destroyed a number of residential units, a few retail shops and parking lots. For previous story, click here

Developers say they are currently working through the issues associated with the opening of the building impacted by the Aug. 19 fire and its goal is to open as much of the retail space in the damaged building as soon as possible.

“In light of last week's fire, the November 7 opening demonstrates our steadfast commitment to making Santana Row rewarding and successful for the community, our tenants and our shareholders,” says Steven Guttman, chairman and CEO of Federal Realty. “Words cannot express our appreciation for the outpouring of support from the city of San Jose, surrounding neighborhoods, merchants and future residents during the past week.”

Phase I of Santana Row is comprised of nine buildings. The damaged building was the largest and contained 18 percent of the retail space, 940 retail parking spaces and nearly half of the Phase I residential units.
