The San Francisco Planning Commission has approved plans for the 72-story residential skyscraper to rise at 524-530 Howard Street in SoMa, San Francisco. The application was streamlined with Assembly Bill 2011, entitling the developer to construct the tallest potential residential skyscraper in the city. Bayhill Ventures, led by former Hines managing director Paul Paradis, is responsible for the project.
Formal permits have been filed for the six-story affordable complex at 2610 International Boulevard in Fruitvale, Oakland. The project will create over a hundred homes with a childcare facility. The Unity Council is responsible for the application.
New permits have been filed for a small mixed-use infill at 1333 Columbus Avenue by Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco. The proposal will replace a fire-damaged structure with three homes and retail. Andy Christopherson, a partner of Santa Rosa-based Synergy Group, is listed as the property owner.
New details have been published alongside a recent public meeting for a 23-story student dorm at 2200 Bancroft Way in Southside, Berkeley. The undergraduate dorm is expected to replace a university-owned two-story commercial structure and surface parking lot with as many as 1,634 beds and a new dining facility. UC Berkeley Capital Strategies is responsible for the application.
Construction has started for the Chinatown TOD Senior Housing complex within the Lake Merritt BART Station redevelopment in Downtown Oakland, Alameda County.
