A new proposal has emerged for the 0.5-acre site at 439-451 South 4th Street in San Jose. The plans are being proposed under the new property ownership of American Housing Co., a subsidiary of the Oakland-based development and design firm oWow. Their plans would revive a similarly scaled building to plans approved for the site in 2024 under the previous property owner, Nelly Amas.
The previously approved project at 6518 San Pablo Avenue was issued some of its building permits earlier this week. Along with the exciting news, the development team also released a more up-to-date visual of what the project is expected to look like. The changes to the building appear to be primarily visual, with the building plans still calling for the same approximate height and number of units as approved earlier this year. Design Manou is the project architect and applicant, filing through Project Zero LLC.
The San Francisco Planning Commission will meet tomorrow to discuss a proposed project expanding the Glide Foundation’s facilities at 330 Ellis Street in San Francisco’s Tenderloin neighborhood. SF YIMBY first reported on the project in March of 2022. Since then, the proposal has undergone revision, including a reduced plan in scale. The conditional use permits to be discussed at the meeting would allow the project to move forward under a design plan in line with their revisions from September of last year. The Glide Foundation is self-sponsoring the project.
The San Francisco Planning Commission will meet tomorrow to review information on a proposed redevelopment of parcels located at 1027, 1031-1033, 1043-1045, and 1047-1049 Clayton Street. The project would clear all parcels of existing structures, requiring the demolition of two existing family dwellings. Schaub Li Architects, the project designer and applicant, has proposed replacing them with nine new units of housing spread across five separate parcels.
The City of San Jose has approved plans for a new seven-story affordable housing development at 143 South Third Street in the downtown neighborhood. The project will convert an existing surface-level parking lot into 168 units of new housing, to be made accessible to low-income and very low-income residents. Sobrato Organization and Pacific Companies are responsible for the site’s development.
