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.
Formal permits have been filed for the seven-story mixed-use proposal at 2154 MacArthur Boulevard in the center of Oakland’s Dimond District neighborhood. The development will replace a surface parking lot with 62 homes facing Dimond Avenue and refurbish the existing single-story bank branch along MacArthur. Dollinger Properties is the project sponsor.
Plans have slightly increased for the eight-story residential apartment complex at 486-496 West San Carlos Street in San Jose, Santa Clara County. The development, renamed Madera Residential, has increased by six units for a total of 278 apartments. In April this year, the developer Urban Catalyst received a $6.1 million loan to pursue construction.
New permits have been filed to increase the scale of a mixed-use development at 2154 MacArthur Boulevard in the Dimond District of Oakland. The residential component has increased by a floor and a substantial increase in unit count. Redwood City-based Dollinger Properties is responsible for the application.
