The City of Menlo Park has opened up applications for the development of three large parking plazas in Downtown Menlo Park. The city plans to build a minimum of 345 units of affordable housing spread across the three sites but has not restricted the addition of more units. The program plans to integrate affordable housing options into the high-resource downtown area.
Increased permits have been filed for a dense residential infill at 550 O’Farrell Street in the Tenderloin, San Francisco. The application will now reach 17 floors, four additional levels, and thirty units more than previously filed plans. Sandhill O’Farrell LLC is the project sponsor.
An extension request has been filed for the proposed redevelopment of 130 Townsend Street in SoMa, San Francisco. The five-story office project, named Ampersand, was approved in 2021, but developer Presidio Bay Ventures hopes to extend the approval’s expiration date for another three years, still hoping to develop the centrally located parcel.
Construction work has topped out with facade installation nearly complete for the four-story life science project at 777 Industrial Road in San Carlos, San Mateo County. The project rose quickly since our prior coverage in June last year when demolition had finished for everything but a single floor for adaptive reuse. Presidio Bay Ventures is the project developer, and W.L. Butler is the general contractor.
The City of San Carlos has approved plans for 642 Quarry Road in San Carlos, San Mateo County. The application would be the second life sciences project by the project developer, Presidio Bay Ventures, including two office buildings and a garage. Presidio purchased the property in 2022 for $34 million.
