Late last month, YIMBY was invited to tour Treasure Island and Yerba Buena Island in San Francisco. Construction is pushing ahead on the first of several phases that will transform the two islands into a mixed-use neighborhood with roughly eight thousand apartments, retail, and public parks, and among the latest buildings to open includes the 22-story Isle House designed by David Baker Architects.
Preliminary plans were published late last week for a potential redevelopment of the Hillsdale indoor mall in San Mateo, San Mateo County. Initial details include the demolition of nearly three-quarters of the shopping center’s facilities, leaving just the North Block untouched as the remaining acres are transformed into housing, retail, and multi-level garages. Sares Regis Group is responsible for the application.
Modified plans continue to work through the planning commission for a 23-story tower at 2115 Kittredge Street in Downtown Berkeley, Alameda County. The team is continuing to pursue an increased residential capacity for the property, with new documents suggesting the tower could extend nearly three hundred feet above street level, which would make it the second tallest residential structure in the city. Gilbane Development is responsible for the application.
Plans have been approved for an eight-story apartment complex at 400 Divisadero Street in San Francisco’s Lower Haight neighborhood. The 203-unit application received ministerial approval via Assembly Bill 2011. 4Terra Investments is the project sponsor.
Preliminary permits have been filed to convert an office building in Downtown San Jose into housing. The plans aim to bring around 133 units to the nine-story complex at 152 North 3rd Street. C2K Architecture is responsible for the application and design.
