The City of San Jose is starting the public review period for 475 South 4th Street, a new 23-story residential tower in Downtown San Jose. The 274-foot tower is planned to add 240 rental apartments with student-focused amenities to the South Bay housing market. Urban Catalyst is responsible for the development, dubbed The Mark.
Demolition permits have been filed for 618 South 1st Street, one of three properties merged in the 252-foot proposed tower at 600 South 1st Street in Downtown San Jose’s southeast corner. The development was first introduced in 2018 and approved by the city council in November of 2019. Amendment permits filed in June of 2020 seek to expand the number of apartments. KT Urban is the project developer, with Scape as owner since March of 2020 for $16.5 million.
New development permits have been filed for a large residential building at 2929 Broadway in Pill Hill, Oakland. The proposal will replace a car dealership with 199 new rental apartments for the Oakland housing market, of which 16 will be low-income housing. The Martin Group is responsible for the project as applicant and property owner.
Development permits were submitted for 1021 Valencia Street in the Mission District, San Francisco, earlier in 2020. A request for Discretionary Review of the filed building permits has been submitted. The project proposal includes the demotion of the existing commercial building and construction of a new mixed-use six-story residence. The building will feature twenty-five residential units and will meet affordable housing criteria; two residential units in the structure will be listed as below-market rate.
New building permits have been filed for a four-story residential proposal at 3131 Homestead Road, Santa Clara, to expand Laguna Clara Apartments. 225 units will be added to the existing site to nearly double housing. Equity Residential is responsible for the development.
