The San Francisco Planning Commission is scheduled to review plans for the stalled 47-story tower at 30 Van Ness Avenue tomorrow at noon. The project has remained an empty hole since 2023 in the center of the city’s once-burgeoning Market-Octavia Area Plan. Australian developer Lendlease hopes that modifications to the approval may make the project more financially feasible, in part, by removing affordable housing.
New preliminary permits have been filed for the proposed 22-story tower at 2700 Sloat Boulevard in San Francisco’s Sunset District. The filing comes nearly two months after the first planning application for the 22-story iteration was submitted to the city’s planning department and nearly nine months after the sensational 50-story skyscraper was withdrawn. Housing America Partner and San Francisco Housing Development Corporation are jointly responsible for the project.
Once again, plans are shifting dramatically for the potential redevelopment of the Sloat Garden Center in San Francisco’s Sunset District. After over a year of seeking approval for a 50-story tower at 2700 Sloat Boulevard, the previous developer withdrew plans in May of this year. The new joint venture has submitted plans to create over four hundred apartments in a 22-story tower.
Revised plans have been submitted for El Paseo de Saratoga, the proposed partial redevelopment of a strip mall shopping center in West San Jose, Santa Clara County. The latest iteration cuts 325 units and adds a senior assisted living facility. Sand Hill Property Company is responsible for the development.
The San Francisco Planning Department is scheduled to review an updated development agreement with Prado Group and SKS Partners for the residential redevelopment of 3333 California Street in Laurel Heights. The developer hopes to replace the former UCSF campus with 744 homes, retail, and public open space. The most significant change to the 2019-approved agreement is the potential for a new financing plan.
