For the last twelve days of 2025, SFYIMBY will reflect on the biggest stories we’ve covered each month across the region. In April, we covered the pivot from office to housing conversion of CityView Plaza in Downtown San Jose. The city revealed plans for the controversial Embarcadero Park redevelopment. Brisbane published the environmental review of the massive Baylands masterplan, which could result in thousands of apartments, several million square feet of commercial area, a new school, and public open space. Partial office-to-housing conversion was proposed for 995 Market Street, and preliminary plans surfaced for a massive thousand-unit neighborhood utilizing the builder’s remedy in Pacifica.
A new Seven Story residential development is currently proposed at 3606 El Camino Real in Palo Alto. The project is brought by Sares Regis Group with plans to provide a combination of affordable and market rate units to the site. A meeting of Palo Alto’s Architectural Review Board will discuss the project tomorrow at 8:30am to determine if the project moves forward.
Construction has officially started on the first new mixed-use apartment community to rise in Daly City in fifteen years. Chester at Westlake will become a seven-story residential complex with over two hundred homes at 99 Southgate Avenue, overlooking the popular Westlake Shopping Center. Kimco Realty and Bozzuto have partnered together as joint developers.
Construction is expected to start later this week for Aquino, a dense eight-story apartment complex to rise at 498 West San Carlos Street in San Jose, Santa Clara County. New building permits were filed last week with the city’s planning department, and the team has secured a $112.5 million construction loan for the 278-unit complex. Urban Catalyst is the project developer.
