For the last twelve days of the year, SF YIMBY will look back on each month to reflect on the biggest stories we covered. In May, crews demolished the infamous ‘historic laundromat’ at 2918 Mission Street, clearing the way for a new eight-story infill. Demolition permits were filed for 555 Bryant Street, new renderings were revealed for One Oak, and SOM shared a construction update for the new net-zero San Mateo County Office Building in Redwood City.
