The San Francisco Planning Commission is scheduled to review plans tomorrow for The Flats, phase two of the India Basin waterfront master plan in San Francisco. The India Basin Flats is expected to add 75 townhomes with additional dwelling units as part of the plan to construct over a thousand residences, retail, and nearly six acres of parks to the vacant bayside property. BUILD Inc. is the project sponsor and developer.
The environmental review process has started for the potential mixed-use 41-story tower at 530 Sansome Street in San Francisco’s Financial District. The city’s planning department has issued the notice of preparation for the Environmental Impact Report, accepting public comment to inform the scope of the report. The project will include offices, a 200-key hotel, and a four-story replacement fire station across from the Transamerica Pyramid. Related and the City are jointly responsible for the project in a public-private partnership.
Modified permits have been filed for the residential skyscraper at 395 3rd Street in SoMa, San Francisco. The updated plans include a slight floor-count increase, with two fewer units and a significant decrease in inclusionary units, while requesting additional waivers from the State Density Bonus law. Strada Investment Group is the developer.
New details have been published alongside a recent public meeting for a 23-story student dorm at 2200 Bancroft Way in Southside, Berkeley. The undergraduate dorm is expected to replace a university-owned two-story commercial structure and surface parking lot with as many as 1,634 beds and a new dining facility. UC Berkeley Capital Strategies is responsible for the application.
The San Francisco Planning Department has approved plans for a two-unit project at 49 Hopkins Avenue on Twin Peaks, San Francisco. The approval includes the retroactive legalization of the illegal demolition of Largent House, the 1935-built home designed by the prominent modernist architect Richard Neutra. Despite the unanimous vote in 2018 by the Planning Commission to prompt the property owner to rebuild a replica of the house, a legal battle and settlement has allowed the owner to pursue new plans.
