Fairmont Plaza is a 17-storey, 79.55 m (261.0 ft) skyscraper in downtown San Jose, California. When completed in 1988 as the Knight-Ridder Building, it was the tallest building in the city; it is currently the sixth. San Jose's first skyscraper, The 1909, seven-story, Garden City Bank & Trust Building, and the 1926, seven-story, American Trust Building were razed on the site to make way for the project.
CBRE Global Investors purchased the building in 2012 about US$90 million.[4]
