Recent permit activity has revealed new details about the proposed eight-story apartment infill at 2201 Market Street near San Francisco’s Castro District. The most interesting information is that construction is expected to start by early 2026. The mid-rise proposal would replace a low-slung vacant commercial building with twenty homes above a new Starbucks cafe.
Construction is starting for the affordable housing project at 80 Saratoga Avenue in Santa Clara, Santa Clara County. Recent permits show the concrete pour is scheduled to start in late September, establishing the foundation for the 200 modular units and commercial space. The Pacific Companies is responsible for the application.
Updated plans have been filed and are under review for the six-story mixed-use proposal at 680 University Avenue in Downtown Palo Alto, Santa Clara County. The latest builder’s remedy-assisted filing has replaced the top floor from housing to office, reducing the potential residential capacity from 110 to 88 dwellings. Smith Development is responsible for the application.
Preliminary permits have been filed to construct a new structure within the Seneca Family of Agencies medical center at 8945 Golf Links Road, Oakland. The added facility will provide bedrooms for the Children’s Crisis Residential Program run by the non-profit. Ratcliff Architects is responsible for the design, though plans have not been shared.
The project application has been filed for a new single-family home at 1 Helen Street in Nob Hill, San Francisco. The infill plan would replace a single-story garage along the alleyway off California Street. Vince O’Driscoll of OARCON Inc., a general contractor, is listed as the property owner.
