Earlier this month, the City of Oakland announced its award of more than $35 million from state climate action programs to be invested in the development of new affordable housing and transportation infrastructure. The funds are focused on a new project being developed by the East Bay Asian Local Development Corporation at 285 12th Street in Oakland’s city center.
Plans for a major affordable housing development in Oakland have gradually progressed since early 2022. However, the current site of 430 Broadway in Oakland’s Jack London neighborhood has remained unused during the planning and preparation of the project. A new zoning worksheet filed with the City of Oakland would allow the demolition of some existing structures and the placement of interim site improvements.
The Walnut Creek Planning Commission is scheduled to review plans tomorrow for a six-story affordable housing complex at 150-170 Sierra Drive in Walnut Creek, Contra Costa County. The proposal would require demolition of an existing 29-unit residential complex to facilitate the construction of 87 new apartments. Satellite Affordable Housing Associates is the project sponsor.
Demolition work is well underway for an approved 22-story apartment tower at 1101-1123 Sutter Street in San Francisco’s Lower Nob Hill neighborhood. Crews have torn down the vacant funeral home and associated parking lot ahead of vertical construction for over three hundred units between Polk Street and Larkin Street. Martin Building Company is responsible for the development.
The Presidio Trust has revealed plans for a new housing development at the intersection of Lincoln Boulevard and Girard Road in The Presidio of San Francisco. The application is looking to replace two non-historic buildings with nearly two hundred homes across six structures. David Baker Architects is responsible for the design.
