Construction is progressing forward for the El Paseo de Saratoga urban village project in San Jose. Demolition crews have cleared much of the former commercial stores that will soon be replaced by over seven hundred homes and a residential care facility. Sand Hill Property Company is leading the project, working in partnership with Holland Partners and Sunrise Senior Living.
Preliminary permits have been filed for a 20-story apartment tower at 360 5th Street in SoMa, San Francisco. The proposal could replace the foundation of an abandoned construction project that paused in early 2020 while more than doubling the potential height and residential capacity from the initial entitlements. Novato-based Thompson Builders is responsible for the application.
Plans will be streamlined for the recently filed two-skyscraper development at 88 Bluxome Street in SoMa, San Francisco. The first application was submitted three months ago, with city staff now determining the project can proceed with Assembly Bill 2011, which allows for by-right approval for eligible housing on commercially-zoned lands. Strada Investment Group is the sponsor and developer.
Formal permits have been filed for a 14-story mixed-use tower at 1 East 4th Avenue in Downtown San Mateo, San Mateo County. The filing is a crucial step towards adding over two hundred rental units, offices, and retail space into the heart of the city. Mike Field of Mecah Ventures is responsible for the application as the project developer.
The Eames Institute of Infinite Curiosity has announced plans to transform the former Birkenstock campus in Novato into a museum for art and design. The Marin County campus spans 88.5 acres of public open space and an extremely distinctive saw-tooth roofline factory warehouse in view of Highway 101. International architecture firm Herzog & de Meuron is responsible for the design.
