Revised plans have been filed for a shorter 21-story senior housing tower at 910 Marshall Street and 1800 Broadway in the heart of Redwood City, San Mateo County. The development is still poised to redefine the county seat’s skyline, though sizably reduced from the previous 345-foot-tall iteration withdrawn earlier this year. R&M Properties is the project developer.
The plans for a project at 952-960 Howard Street have been revised several times from the original proposal.

The Eames Institute of Infinite Curiosity has announced plans to transform the former Birkenstock campus in Novato into a museum for art and design. The Marin County campus spans 88.5 acres of public open space and an extremely distinctive saw-tooth roofline factory warehouse in view of Highway 101. International architecture firm Herzog & de Meuron is responsible for the design.
The Berkeley City Council has rejected an attempt to landmark a 139-year-old building that is expected to be replaced by a 20-story apartment tower in Southside, Berkeley. The Laura Tull property was built in 1886 at 2421 Durant Avenue, and is one of only a few remaining examples of Stick style architecture in the UC Berkeley campus area. Future plans for the site are expected to provide 169 apartments, including 19 units of replacement affordable housing. Qian Wang of Collabhome is the project developer.
By-right approval has been requested for the 11-story infill at 1523 Harrison Street in Downtown Oakland, Alameda County. The project would add nearly three hundred units of affordable housing to the heart of the city. oWow, a prominent local developer, is responsible for the application.
