Belvedere City Council recently pushed forward the residential proposal along Mallard Pointe, Marin County. The 40-unit project is the city’s largest housing development to get greenlit in decades despite stiff resistance from local NIMBYs. If the project had been rejected, the developer was prepared to pursue a much larger infill using the Builder’s Remedy.
Some residents have never been happy with plans for 955 Sansome Street, starting with the preliminary seven-story application in 2021 for the corner lot by Telegraph Hill in San Francisco. Since then, three iterations have gone through the planning department, steadily growing to ten floors, then sixteen, and now 24 floors tall. The project application states that the proposal “aspires to restore and revitalize an underutilized site while providing much needed higher density housing for the city.”
New plans have been filed for a nine-story affordable housing infill at 249 Pennsylvania Avenue in San Francisco’s Potrero Hill neighborhood. The new plans could finally bring housing to the longtime vacant property. Tenderloin Neighborhood Development Company is the project developer.
The previous proposal for 1101-1123 Sutter Street called for a 14-story residential infill with over two hundred homes in Lower Nob Hill, San Francisco. Now, new modified project plans have been shared for a 22-story complex, with more housing to match. Martin Building Company is the project developer.
Construction has topped out for the Fay at 600 South First Street in Downtown San Jose. The 23-story project rises over I-280 as a prominent southernmost tower in the urban core. Its over three hundred apartments are expected to open up in early 2025. Morro is the project developer.
