The first legislature met there from 1849 to 1851, in an area now known as the Circle of Palms, an open space in front of the San Jose Museum of Art. The plaza also was home to San Jose City Hall for 69 years, up until 1958.
When Urban Confluence chose the winning the project design last year, it had raised $2.5 million for the installation. It expected to need around $100 million from private sources to construct the tower.
