New building permits have been filed for a 20,000-seat multi-purpose sports stadium at 11 7th Street in Sacramento’s Railyards District. The updated plans for Sacramento Republic FC show the team is shifting away from the initial 12,000-seat iteration expected for the site toward a larger canopy-capped facility. The application comes several months after the groundbreaking ceremony held by the team last August.
Zoning permits have been requested for the proposed 12,000-seat stadium for the Sacramento Republic FC to be built at 11 7th Street, in the Railyards Special Planning District of Sacramento. The application comes just months ahead of the expected groundbreaking for a new entertainment venue in the state capital. Kansas City-based Manica is the design architect.
The San Francisco Planning Commission has approved plans for the 72-story residential skyscraper to rise at 524-530 Howard Street in SoMa, San Francisco. The application was streamlined with Assembly Bill 2011, entitling the developer to construct the tallest potential residential skyscraper in the city. Bayhill Ventures, led by former Hines managing director Paul Paradis, is responsible for the project.
It has only been two weeks since plans were first announced for the region’s potential second-tallest residential tower, and a flurry of permit activity has already been submitted to the city’s Planning Department. The 72-story proposal for 530 Howard Street is expected to rise 844 feet tall, among the tallest in the country, and could become the third or fourth tallest skyscraper in San Francisco. Bayhill Ventures, the project developer, has also submitted a request for new building permits.
Brookfield’s 5M is officially open. The ribbon-cutting event was held yesterday, with San Francisco Mayor London Breed and other speakers in attendance. For over a decade, the project has been in the works to replace four acres of surface parking with the city’s newest office tower, a 302-unit apartment complex, a park, and adaptive reuse of historic buildings. 5M, named for the adjacent intersection of 5th and Mission Street in SoMa, is a joint development with Brookfield and Hearst.
