Last week, the City of Brisbane’s proposal for the Baylands development area was opened for public review through the CEQA application page. The specific site plan, developed in partnership with the Metis Environmental Group and Environmental Science Associates, is a sweeping redevelopment of more than 680 acres along Highway 101 and the Caltrain tracks between San Francisco and South San Francisco.
Mecah Ventures has proposed a new 14-story luxury high-rise in downtown San Mateo. According to the developer, the building is specifically designed to appeal to retirees and empty nesters who are looking to downsize, but who want to stay in San Mateo. Designed by Arc Tec, the building will include hotel-style amenities such as a spa, gym, golf simulator, and indoor movie theater.
The 2655 Shattuck Ave project took another step forward last week when The City of Berkeley filed for a Notice of Exemption for CEQA, in accordance with the standards of Infill Development Project exemptions. Studio KDA’s updated designs were released for the project last year, but site construction has been awaiting the completion of several approvals, this exemption included.
Preliminary plans have been filed for a life-science industrial project at 405 and 455 Harbor Boulevard in Belmont, San Mateo County. The proposal aims to create around 812,000 square feet of offices and parking for over a thousand cars. Beam Reach Properties is the project developer.
