Palo Alto’s Architectural Review Board is scheduled to review plans this morning for a townhouse development at 2100-2400 Geng Road near the Baylands Nature Preserve, Palo Alto. The project is expected to replace an 11-acre office campus with 145 apartments. San Francisco-based Strada Investment Group is responsible for the project.
The Shirley Chisholm Village in San Francisco’s Outer Sunset neighborhood hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony last week, celebrating the completion of a first-of-its-kind project for San Francisco. The 100% affordable units are designated as a community for educators working in San Francisco, with the goal of making housing more accessible within the city limits.
More documents, including a design review and notice of exemption, have been filed with CEQA on behalf of a project located at 2433 Mariner Square Drive in Alameda. Previously reported on by SF YIMBY in 2024, the project is being brought by The Martin Group with plans to transform the West Alameda parcel. The current commercial area would be replaced by high-rise residential with views of downtown Oakland, the Port of Oakland, and across the San Francisco Bay.
Early this year development applications were submitted for the demolition and construction of a new development at 445 Ortega Street in San Francisco. Since SF YIMBY’s last update on the site in February, new documents have been filed with the city in the form of a preliminary application that if accepted will freeze planning codes and standards for the site as they are now, regardless of changes made to policy before a full application can be approved.
At project located at 400 Bay Street in San Francisco’s North Beach neighborhood was previously approved for development in 2015. However, the building was never built, and the site has remained vacant. However, a new proposal would piggyback on the previously environmental approvals for the site to bring a new and only slightly modified hotel project to the site.
