Plans for a major affordable housing development in Oakland have gradually progressed since early 2022. However, the current site of 430 Broadway in Oakland’s Jack London neighborhood has remained unused during the planning and preparation of the project. A new zoning worksheet filed with the City of Oakland would allow the demolition of some existing structures and the placement of interim site improvements.
The city’s Board of Supervisors has granted approval for the proposed 41-story mixed-use tower and associated fire station at 447 Battery Street and 530 Sansome Street in San Francisco’s Financial District. The project is a public-private partnership between the city and Related California with plans for office space, hotel rooms, and a replacement for S.F. Fire Station No. 13.
Related California has celebrated the official opening of Felix at 420 Mendocino Avenue in Downtown Santa Rosa, Sonoma County. The eight-story residential infill has opened its doors with 168 apartments developed in partnership with the City of Santa Rosa. Greystar will be providing on-site property management.
The El Cerrito City Council has started to support the next phase of affordable housing as part of the El Cerrito BART Station redevelopment in Contra Costa County. With construction expected to begin later this year on the first phase, the council provided a $350,000 loan while city staff apply for over $40 million in state funding for the next portion of below-market-rate units. Holliday Development, Satellite Affordable Housing Associates, and Related California are jointly responsible for the 743-unit master plan on behalf of the property owner, BART.
The San Francisco Planning Commission is scheduled to review plans for the 41-story mixed-use tower to be built at 530 Sansome Street in San Francisco’s Financial District. The project, showing unlikely optimism in commercial real estate for the city, looks to add nearly half a million square feet of office space, a hotel, and a new fire station for the SFFD. Related California and the City are jointly responsible for the project in a public-private partnership.
