Preliminary permits have been filed for an apartment complex at 1700 El Camino Real in San Mateo, San Mateo County. The development will include two eight-story structures, including an affordable senior facility near the intersection of El Camino Real and Highway 92. JEMCOR Development Partners is responsible for the application.

The 95-foot-tall complex will yield around 705,240 square feet and 441 dwelling units across two structures. Building A will include 253 apartments and a 353-car garage. Unit sizes will vary with 136 one-bedrooms, 88 two-bedrooms, and 29 three-bedrooms. The podium-top amenities will include two courtyards and one pool deck. Building B will feature 188 units and 103 parking spaces. Unit sizes will vary, with 150 one-bedrooms and 38 two-bedrooms.
The application invokes Senate Bill 330 and the State Density Bonus law to streamline approval and increase residential capacity.

KTGY is the project architect. Illustrations show the podium-style apartment complexes articulated with white cement plaster, terracotta brick veneer, and balconies. The complex will centralize amenities around the fourth-floor courtyards, and an amenity space overlooking Bovet Road.
The rough 3.1-acre property is located along El Camino Real between Borel Avenue and Bovet Road. The property is close to the Borel Square Shopping Center and a Safeway grocery store.

Nice. I used to live across the street from there, and that zone is kind of awkward. New building would add a lot.
Walking distance to Hayward Park Caltrain, right?
Yes walking distance to Hayward Park
As a neighbor I’m supportive of more housing
Kind of wish they could break this into 3 buildings on such a large lot. It’s a 8 story wall for 2 blocks on the Borel side
