A meeting has been scheduled before the San Francisco Historic Preservation Commission to discuss proposed renovations for the San Francisco Art Institute’s Brown and Clay buildings. The two buildings in question are located at 800 Chestnut Street in the Russian Hill neighborhood. Jensen Architects are the project designers.
Developer BXP, formally known as Boston Properties, had planned a large new housing development in North San Jose located at the corner of 2830 North First Street and East Plumeria Drive. The development plan, designed by BDE Architecture was slated to include both market-rate and affordable housing on the site of a previously planned tech campus. However, the plans have been paused, and the property was put on the market.
A larger area of land located at 132 Silver Eagle Road is to undergo permitting and design review for the construction of 16 new single-family homes. The development will subdivide a currently vacant area of land in the Del Paso Heights review district for the city. The designs and development are brought by Riverland Homes, Inc.
Revised plans were approved for an eight-story mixed-use building at 419 4th Street in Oakland’s Jack London neighborhood. The original project was reported on by SF YIMBY in November of 2022 but has been undergoing planning and approvals since then. Project owner Smart Growth and Architects Lowney Arch submitted revised plans in late 2023 which have now been approved.
Filbert Development LLC has filed permits for the construction of a new project at the coincidentally named 3223 Filbert Street in West Oakland. In addition to a fun name synergy, the Freemont-based developer is planning to bring a significant amount of housing to Oakland’s San Pablo corridor. Architecture by Langston is responsible for the designs.
