Demolition and excavation work is underway for two major projects in the UCSF Parnassus Heights campus in San Francisco. Crews finished removing the seven-story UC Hall, and only a corner of the four-story Mental Health Services building remains as of our visit. The sites are expected to be transformed into a research building and hospital, with both scheduled to finish by 2028 and 2030, respectively.
Construction is rising for a new five-story apartment at 3945 Judah Street in San Francisco’s Sunset District. The project has replaced the former Eugene’s Automotive Repair shop, with crews now working on bringing twenty apartments close to Ocean Beach and Golden Gate Park. The applicant used HOME-SF to increase the project capacity and ensure five units would be designated as affordable.

Berkeley saw preliminary permits for over a thousand units across over a dozen proposals using SB330, and modified plans were shared by the developer of Cupertino’s multi-billion dollar project, The Rise. Finally, SHVO received a greenlight for the proposed adaptive reuse of Three Transamerica, working with Foster + Partners to make a rare invest in the city’s future of commercial office space this year.
