New plans are under review for a seven-story residential infill at 888 El Camino Real in Menlo Park, San Mateo County. The project will replace the Jeffrey’s Hamburgers restaurant a block from the city’s Caltrain station. San Francisco-based Worldco Company is responsible for the application through 888 El Camino LLC.

LDP Architecture is responsible for the design. Illustrations show a collage-style facade with a patchy mix of cement plaster, wood-look fiber cement panels, and private balconies. The 75-foot tall structure will yield around 59,800 square feet, with 41 apartments and a 40-car garage. Residents will get access to 5,250 square feet of open space beside 1,525 square feet of common open space.
The plans are utilizing a 50% density bonus to increase residential capacity with zoning waivers to increase height and floor size. Of the 41 for-sale condominiums, five will be designated as affordable to very low-income households. Preliminary applications were filed for 888 El Camino Real in April this year through Senate Bill 330, with formal development applications filed before last month.
