For the last twelve days of 2024, SF YIMBY will look back on each month and reflect on the biggest stories we covered. During July, we reported on the final approval for the Stonestown redevelopment, several large projects in Silicon Valley invoking the Builder’s Remedy, and increased plans for an eight-story apartment complex in the Outer Sunset. However, the most commented-on story of the month and the year for us was a 15-story apartment tower rising over College Avenue in Rockridge, Oakland.
For the last twelve days of 2024, SF YIMBY will look back on each month and reflect on the biggest stories we covered.

The developer would eventually withdraw the initiative after facing overwhelming disapproval.
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.
