5:30 am on December 20, 2024 By Andrew Nelson

For the last twelve days of 2024, SF YIMBY will look back on each month and reflect on the biggest stories we covered. We started January with an update on one of the biggest construction projects in the region, the multi-billion dollar expansion at the UCSF Parnassus Heights campus. Next to Telegraph Hill, plans increased for the much-discussed 955 Sansome Street apartment tower, and we broke the story about preliminary permits for the billionaire-backed tower at 1088 Sansome Street. N17 filed plans for two new skyscrapers overlooking the freeway in SoMa, and the first details were revealed for a 15-story affordable infill in Chinatown.
