A meeting has been scheduled before the San Francisco Historic Preservation Commission to discuss proposed renovations for the San Francisco Art Institute’s Brown and Clay buildings. The two buildings in question are located at 800 Chestnut Street in the Russian Hill neighborhood. Jensen Architects are the project designers.
Increased plans are currently under review for an eight-story residential complex to rise at 616 South B Street in Downtown San Mateo, San Mateo County. The proposal would bring nearly a hundred units to the recently closed paint store a block away from Central Park. Nazareth Enterprises is the property owner, an investment firm operating through Nazareth Vista LLC.
Updated plans have been filed for a potential skyline-reorienting project at 88 Bluxome Street in SoMa, San Francisco. The proposal aims to add two skyscrapers and 1,500 rental apartments to the former Tennis Club, reaching heights of 51 and 58 stories. Strada Investment Group is responsible for the application.
A new mixed use project in San Mateo took another step forward with the release of a CEQA notice of determination earlier this week. The project located at 435 East 3rd Avenue would construct at 39,893 square foot building brining both housing and office space to the area. Developers at MECHA Ventures are collaborating with architects ARC TEC on the project.
Last week, Michael Shvo showed up to his newly reopened skyscraper to unveil the contents of the once-forgotten time capsule for the Transamerica Pyramid. The memorabilia from the 51-year-old container is now on display inside the Transamerica Annex, revealing a snapshot in San Francisco’s local culture and history related to the controversial addition to the skyline. The gallery is open to the public with access from Washington Street.
