The 21st tallest tower in the Bay Area planned or built is Spear Tower in SoMa, San Francisco. Rising to a 564-foot pinnacle, Spear Tower is the taller of a two-towered complex, One Market Plaza. Rising across the Embarcadero, the development was completed in 1976, connecting the two new towers with the 11-story 1916-built Landmark Building on Market Street. Welton Becket Associates is the building architect.
Building permits have been filed, kicking off the review process for the 11-story affordable housing development at 300 De Haro Street. The project would make a significant contribution to the housing market in a relatively dense neighborhood hub on the north end of Potrero Hill. Residents will be within walking distance of various cafes, a grocer, the California College of the Arts SF campus, and the showroom-packed Design District. If built, the triangular lot in San Francisco would create 450 new dwelling units, of which 181 will be priced as affordable.
Building permits have been issued for four-structure residential development at 825 6th Avenue by the Merritt neighborhood in Oakland. The issuing paves the way for upcoming construction to add 15 new townhome units to the East Bay housing market. Riaz Capital is responsible for the development.
The tallest residential tower in Downtown Oakland has passed the 50-percent leased milestone. Atlas is a recently-opened 40-story mixed-use tower with 633 rental units rising at 385 14th Street in the heart of the city, just a block from the 12th Street BART station. Carmel Partners is the developer with Greystar managing leasing.
New renderings have been revealed for a four-story residential building at 312 Utah Street in the northeast corner of San Francisco’s Mission District, close to SoMa and Potrero Hill. The development will add three new units to the housing market. William Pashelinsky Architect is responsible for the design.
