The planning application for the 30-story senior housing tower at 1800 Broadway and 910 Marshall Street in Redwood City has been withdrawn. The move comes as the project developer, R&M Properties, has shared their intention to file a project later this year. Any details about the future plans for the site have yet to be shared.

The withdrawn plans would have built 313 apartments across a 345-foot tower and a seven-story wing. The plans would not have included affordable housing, though they still benefited from the State Density Bonus program as a senior housing proposal.

If built today, 1800 Broadway would have been the tallest building in San Mateo County, surpassing the Genesis North Tower in South City. However, plans for a taller project still remain in Menlo Park, where N17 Development is pursuing approval for a 431-foot tall residential tower as part of a multi-structure master plan at 80 Willow Road.
Reached for comment, Stephen Relller of R&M Properties has said “we hope to resubmit a project in the next few months.”

Disappointed, but I am the developer continues his proposal for a dense project. Residential senior towers like this are needed all across the Bay Area, ESPECIALLY next to a transportation hub!
This comment has to do with project representation rather than design, bulk and massing quality. Though the design of this project seems decent given its bulk and massing, the accuracy of that aerial perspective view is way off. The background context aerial photo wherever it’s from (Google Maps/Earth?), is clearly taken at a different, more wide-angle perspective view than the proposed building aerial rendering spliced into it.
For a project of this scope and scale you’d think the sponsors would use a more precisely calibrated presentation view – its not rocket science, just basic architecture school stuff. Problem is the proposed building would appear even larger if it did match that wider-angle background – so they really should get a better background aerial view as a base for such an aerial presentation view as this.
It seems that Redwood City and South City are the only two Peninsula cities that are not afraid of urbanizing their downtowns. I grew up in this area, and when I was a kid downtown “Deadwood City” was a sea of parking lots surrounding what was left of the old downtown and the county complex. Most of those parking lots are gone and replaced with office buildings and condos/apartments and now Redwood City is pretty lively. At the same time, they’ve kept a lot of the best old buildings. They’ve done it well. Even the new county building is pretty nice and I dig the pedestrian mall along Hamilton Street.
