For the last twelve days of 2024, SF YIMBY will look back on each month and reflect on the biggest stories we covered. In March, preliminary plans surfaced for several big projects, new details emerged for the High Speed Rail’s Central Valley Stations, and construction topped out for affordable housing in the Richmond District. We interviewed with the developer behind the proposed 72-story residential skyscraper in SoMa, and plans increased for the ill-fated tower next to Telegraph Hill, backed by a politically active billionaire.
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.
Preliminary permits have been filed for yet another project that could reshape the Downtown Berkeley skyline. Earlier this week, plans surfaced for a 23-story apartment tower at 2029 University Avenue, making it the fifth or sixth tallest project in the city’s pipeline. Walnut Creek-based Laconia Development is the project developer.
Development permits have been filed for the 20-story apartment tower at 2425 Durant Avenue in Berkeley’s Southside neighborhood. The application seeks to replace two low-slung residential structures with 117 apartments. Qian Wang of Collabhome is listed as the property owner through 2425 Durant Avenue LLC.
