Construction is expected to start soon for the eight-story residential infill named The Valiant at 2538 Durant Avenue in Southside, Berkeley.

The team closed on a construction loan from the Beverly Hills-based Kennedy Wilson.
Construction has officially started for 2550 Irving Street, an affordable housing project in San Francisco’s Sunset District.

The Tenderloin Neighborhood Development Corporation is responsible for the application.
While the San Francisco Giants are settling into the new baseball season, they have been welcoming another crowd just across McCovey Cove.

Construction is nearly over for the first phase of the city’s mixed-use Mission Rock master plan.
The Berkeley Planning Commission is scheduled to review plans for an eight-story residential project at 2462 Bancroft Way in Berkeley’s Southside neighborhood.
