The fifth tallest building in the Bay Area planned or built in the SFYIMBY January 2021 Countdown is the Transbay Parcel F at 550 Howard Street in SoMa, San Francisco. Proposed by a joint venture with Hines, Urban Pacific, and Goldman Sachs Asset Management, the mixed-use tower will rise 806 feet above street level. Construction is scheduled to start in the first quarter of next year.
New renderings have been revealed along with updated planning documents for Freedom West, a multi-billion dollar project to build 2,387 new residential units in San Francisco’s Fillmore District. The development will offer replacement housing for all displaced residents while adding a new hotel, retail, community spaces, and new open space. MacFarlane Development Company is responsible for the application.
New renderings have been revealed for an eight-story hotel to be built at 12 Mint Plaza in SoMa, San Francisco. The project would rise from a 1,875 square foot parcel to create 160 hotel beds within the Mint Conservation District. Elsey Partners is responsible for the development.
Rezoning and development permits have been filed seeking the approval to rezoning from the combined industrial/commercial zone (CIC) to a planned development zoning district (PD) to allow the construction of a five-story hotel with valet parking and alternate parking. The property will be developed on a vacant lot at 1338 Oakland Road in San Jose. Plans also call for the removal of one non-ordinance sized tree. Urban Mint Hospitality LLC is the property owner. Pillars is the architect responsible for the design concepts. Roof Tech LLC and Uprear Build is also part of the project team.
The environmental review has found the mixed-use Cambrian Park Village would not result in any significant and unavoidable impacts to the environment. Thanks to this, property owner Weingarten Realty Investors is a step closer to construction in Willow Glen, San Jose. The proposal, at 14200 Union Avenue, has also benefited from the City of San Jose Urban Village framework to encourage the production of new transit-oriented urban hubs across the predominantly suburban city.
