David Mulvehill, a business executive who owns and operates multiple restaurants in the San Pedro Square area, one of the downtown’s hot spots, is responsible for the upcoming restaurant at the corner of Almaden Avenue and West Santa Clara Street.

“We hope to be open in the fall,” said Mulvehill, chief of operations with Nuvo Hospitality and the operator and principal owner of the dining and drinking establishment. “We’re pretty excited about this.”

The restaurant is being planned on the ground floor space of the building and will occupy roughly 5,500 square feet.

The next big challenge for Hunter Properties at this site is to find an office tenant for the second-floor offices. with an uneven market for office properties as the backdrop for these efforts.

The office space on the upper floor totals about 8,000 square feet.

The Lyndon Building was constructed in two stages more than a century ago, according to the Preservation Action Council of San Jose, an activist group.

Originally built in the Italianate style in 1884 through a design by famed South Bay architect Theodore Lenzen, the building was remodeled in 1902. Until 1902, the building was the home base for the Times-Mercury, a precursor to the present-day San Jose Mercury News.
