New permits have been filed for the construction of an 88-unit building located at 8301 Macarthur Boulevard in the Eastmont neighborhood of Oakland. The project was previously reported on by SF YIMBY in 2024, when initial approvals came through for the site. The new permits reflect a small increase in scale for the site, raising the total number of units by 6. The development is still sponsored by V23 Investments.
A Notice of Exemption was filed for the proposed project at 845 Steward Drive, bringing the site closer to construction. The planned development would bring 28 new townhome-style condominiums to Sunnyvale. Developers City Ventures are responsible for the project.
Last week, construction permits were issued for initial work on the 185 Park Avenue parcel at CityView Plaza in San Jose. The permit will allow construction to begin on the eight-story structure, consisting of ground-floor retail and a multi-story parking garage. SF YIMBY initially reported on initial site demolitions and preparations in August of 2025, and the new approval marks steady progress for the project.
As per a recently released statement by BART, the long-awaited West Oakland BART development project is now taking initial steps towards construction. A portion of the West Oakland BART parking lot is closed this week for preliminary site soil testing and preparations. Site remediation, followed by building construction, is to begin later this year.
A new proposal could bring 30 units of townhome-style housing to the South Bay City of Sunnyvale. The site located at 1313 South Wolfe Road would span an area currently occupied by a Wendy’s, its parking lot, and an area of unoccupied space. Developers at 4Terra are hoping to convert the low-density commercial and unused space into 29 new residential units.
