Planning documents have been filed for four apartment buildings at 4961 Pacheco Boulevard in Martinez, Contra Costa County. The project would replace surface parking and a few low-slung commercial buildings with around 305 to 321 new rental homes. The project would also rise close to the Pacheco Transit Center, a commuter bus station.
The entitlement application is under review to replace a two-story office building with a nearly identically-sized project at 901 South California Avenue in Palo Alto, Santa Clara County.

The proposal hotel for 2629 Taylor Street has cleared the environmental review process, bringing the project one set closer to rising by San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf.

Construction is expected to start this summer on the Shirley Chisholm Village Educator Housing at 1360 43rd Avenue in San Francisco’s Sunset District.
