Last week, YIMBY was given an exclusive tour of the Transamerica Pyramid, showcasing the progress of renovations designed by the internationally acclaimed Foster + Partners. The revamp is led by New York-based developer SHVO, with funding from Deutsche Finance Group. The iconic San Francisco skyscraper is now expected to fully reopen this September, just over a year and a half after the official groundbreaking.
New illustrations have been revealed alongside project plans for 3606 El Camino Real in Palo Alto, Santa Clara County. The builder’s remedy-assisted proposal will bring over three hundred apartments and more than four hundred cars to the affluent Silicon Valley city. San Mateo-based developer Sares Regis Group is responsible for the project.
Construction has started for the $4.3 billion UCSF Parnassus Heights Hospital expansion in San Francisco. The official groundbreaking ceremony was held over a month ago, and foundation work is now underway. Once complete, the 15-story medical center will offer hundreds of new patient beds and care units.
Concrete has topped out with facade installation underway for the eight-story affordable housing complex at 730 Stanyan Street in Haight-Ashbury, San Francisco. The white and gray precast panels showcase the design from the influential architecture studio, OMA. Once complete, there will be 160 new permanently affordable apartments, retail, community space, and a childcare facility next to Amoeba Music, Whole Foods, and Golden Gate Park.
New renderings have been revealed alongside the formal application for 80 Willow Road in Menlo Park. The proposal aims to replace the former Sunset Magazine headquarters with Willow Park, a dense mixed-use neighborhood with hundreds of homes, office space, hotel rooms, retail, a Montessori school, and public parks on a creekside property close to downtown Palo Alto. If built, the project would become the tallest in San Mateo County.
