Construction work is progressing for the two affordable housing projects rising on Transbay Block 2 in East Cut, San Francisco. The update comes just five months after the groundbreaking for both projects, led by separate developers. Concrete is already rising for the senior housing complex, with the foundation already dug for the family housing. Once complete, the site will provide 335 new homes.
In honor of New York YIMBY’s Turkey Week tradition of spotlighting stalled projects, we’d like to highlight the one big project that comes to mind for San Francisco. Oceanwide Center was meant to produce the second-tallest skyscraper in the city, with a unique geometric structure designed by Foster + Partners. Today, the property at First and Mission remains an unfinished hole in the ground, collecting dust and water.
Development permits have been filed for the 20-story apartment tower at 2425 Durant Avenue in Berkeley’s Southside neighborhood. The application seeks to replace two low-slung residential structures with 117 apartments. Qian Wang of Collabhome is listed as the property owner through 2425 Durant Avenue LLC.
Concrete has topped out for the seven-story affordable apartment complex at 78 Haight Street in San Francisco’s Hayes Valley neighborhood. Construction restarted in the spring of this year after work was stalled in 2022 after a neighboring property owner complained about construction compromising their structure’s foundation. Tenderloin Neighborhood Development Corporation is the project developer.
The Berkeley Design Review Committee is scheduled to review plans tomorrow evening for the potential 17-story mixed-use tower to rise at 2274 Shattuck Avenue in Downtown Berkeley, Alameda County. The project is expected to make adaptive reuse of the Art Deco-style United Artists Theater facade as the entryway for a cafe and residential lobby. Panoramic Interests is responsible for the application.
