Purchasers Thomas J. Wilson, Dustin T. Mannina, Sachneel Patel, and Jeffrey Bader have jumped in on a plan to transform a Saratoga vineyard into a large-scale housing development. The group of South Bay business executives paid $30.6 million for the 11.6-acre property near the corner of Chester Avenue and Allendale Drive.
In the latest news for a project at 2500 76th Avenue, development permits have been filed, allowing for the progression of the project to its next stage and eventual construction. The large-scale project in the Eastmont neighborhood of Oakland was first reported on by SF YIMBY in August of last year. Since then, the project has seen rapid progress towards approvals, with various permits being filed this year.
A new Special Use Permit and Tentative Map have outlined plans for the construction of new townhomes on a site in the Lyndale neighborhood of San Jose. The project will require the demolition of four existing houses and three accessory structures, making way for the 36 new townhomes and significantly increasing the density.
A CEQA Notice of Exemption and other planning approvals have collectively been met for a large apartment project located at 2588 Mission Street in San Francisco. The project will replace a previous building on the site, which was damaged more than 10 years ago in a major building fire. The new building has taken advantage of a density bonus rule to expedite the approval process.
A meeting is scheduled for today to discuss the possible extension of a Major Use Permit and Design Review Approval for 6445 Christie Avenue in Emeryville. Harvest Properties originally brought the project in 2022, but has yet to break ground despite being approved by the City of Emeryville. The meeting today will determine if they are allowed to extend the development timeframe another year or if the project is dead in the water.
