SAN JOSE — A Tesla electric vehicle sales store could sprout on empty land in San Jose, a project that would be part of a development that’s bringing big-time changes to the area.
The Tesla Center would offer vehicle sales and service, documents on file with city planners show.
The building would total 49,600 square feet, according to the San Jose public records.

The project is being proposed for 3.6 acres of land near the corner of East Capitol Expressway and Evergreen Place in east San Jose.
The project would sprout on Evergreen Loop next to an existing Costco Business Center at 2376 Evergreen Loop, according to Santa Clara County real estate and San Jose planning documents.
Arcadia Development, which had previously crafted an overall plan for the Evergreen Circle area, proposed the Tesla vehicle sales center project.
The undeveloped property’s assessed value is $205,000, county records show. Arcadia Development owns the property through its affiliate Evergreen Circle LLC.
The Tesla vehicle center is part of the Arcadia-proposed Evergreen Circle project, an 80-acre development that includes 250 homes, sports fields, retail, restaurants, a retail paseo, a medical office building and small parks.
The primary development that has occurred to this point is housing and the Costco Business Center.
The retail and restaurant portions of the property remain undeveloped.
The Evergreen Circle project was proposed before the onset of the coronavirus, a lethal disease outbreak that also wreaked havoc on the economy in the Bay Area and worldwide.
The wide-ranging uncertainties ushered in by the coronavirus prompted many kinds of projects to be re-imagined, delayed, or scuttled altogether until the economic upheaval began to subside. The forbidding outlook for the economy persists today.
